Extracurricular Activities:
Extracurricular activities exist at JAS to provide educational experiences not otherwise provided to our students in academic courses. JAS is dedicated to offering our students a variety of extracurricular activities that appeal to our students varying needs and wants. While JAS believes that extracurricular activities are an essential part of education, academics take precedence.
Extracurricular activities are those activities conducted on school premises by external trainers, clubs, associations, and organizations and do include athletic competitions and practices, including music, art, STEM education, sport, UCMAS and others, which must follow all JAS rules and regulations.

Model United Nations Program (JASMUN)
The concept of JASMUN, which stands for Jerusalem American School Model United Nations, is an international format of debate that allows young, ambitious individuals to take part in simulations of the United Nations by representing different countries and NGOs/IGOS in different committees that debate a range of relevant issues. It develops debating and negotiating skills as well as argument-building and framing techniques while at the same time giving you the chance to travel to new countries and meet people from many different cultures and backgrounds. JASMUN offers invaluable experiences that can only be developed through hands-on work discussing and trying to solve global issues, and really does spark a huge passion for making the world a better place.
