Changes and innovations are a common part of international education, but the COVID-19 pandemic has forced schools to adjust their approach to learning almost overnight. To learn about the ways the landscape of international schools has evolved in recent years, what it looks like today, and how JIS has responded, JIS Podcast host Joanna Sommers (Middle and High School Curriculum Coordinator) speaks to JIS Head of Admissions Kat Ngkaion, Middle and High School Therapist Kris Carlson, and Middle School Counselor Angie Machacek.

As JIS Dragons and as part of long-time expat families, they give us their professional and personal insights into the importance of social-emotional well-being in ensuring a smooth transition between schools for students, and how families can choose the best schools for their third-culture children.
