At Bandung Independent School, we focus relentlessly on one thing: Learning. We believe that whether you are age two or ninety-two, the work of learning is never done. As society rapidly evolves, the knowledge and subjects of today may be soon eclipsed by the technology and needs of tomorrow. Preparing for the future thus requires a different approach to education – one that focuses on developing the passion and skills to keep learning independently long after graduation. As an IB World School, we believe students learn best by investigating their questions, designing their inquiries, and conducting their research, experimentation, and analysis in the pursuit of deeper understanding. Children are natural-born learners, and our primary role as Educators is to ignite and cultivate their curiosity, and then… get out of their way! In measuring their success, we focus on attitudes, skills, and knowledge – in that order – while defining unfailingly high expectations for each of these. This process is inherently personal and must recognize that learners require the freedom and support to develop their unique passions. More broadly, the BIS community flourishes because we attract passionate faculty and families, help each other to refine our skills, and provide opportunities to uniquely contribute to the success of our organization. When you join the BIS community, learning is inevitable in large part because of the diversity of our community and our dedication to internationalism. With students, families, and faculty hailing from two dozen countries, our school is built upon the principles of open-mindedness, tolerance, and intercultural understanding and respect. We strive to create a safe environment in which all community members feel can develop the courage to push the limits of their learning, fall forward, and embrace the lessons of failure as we strive together to make the world a better place. So what are my own learning goals these days? I’d like to read at least 25 books for pleasure this year (last year I only made it to 21!) I’m meeting up with other musicians to try to revive my long-dormant guitar skills. And I’m more personally keen than ever to learn about the developmental needs of infancy and early childhood, as my wife and I have recently had our first child! Whether you are a prospective student, future parent, or an aspiring faculty member, we’d like to know more about what you are interested in learning. At BIS, you are not just choosing a school, you are choosing a community. Welcome to Bandung Independent School. BIS opened its doors in 1972 in a converted house in Ciumbuleuit. Always a parent-run, non-profit school, BIS is now in its 45th year serving expatriate and local families in Bandung, and now educates nearly 200 students on a 1.2 hectare campus just north of the city center.

JMS is a private global school that has one of the lowest teacher-to-student ratios in Jakarta, allowing the school to pay attention to individual students. Like one big family, JMS’s environment prevents bullying from happening. JMS is a bully-free school that provides a friendly learning environment to make students feel encouraged and comfortable socially and psychologically to pursue creativity and excellence. Please arrange a trial day and feel the supportive ambiance. JMS was founded in 1995 under the name of Jakarta International Montessori School. In 2007, it was taken over by PT Daya Multibudaya and the school’s name was changed to Jakarta International Multicultural School (JIMS). On January 26, 2015, JIMS), a Cambridge and IB World School, unveiled a fresh new identity, symbolized by the introduction of a new logo that signifies our culture and celebrates the multicultural identity built over the school’s 10-year history. Now we are known as the Jakarta Multicultural School (JMS). The launch of our new logo kicked off a new spirit at JMS. It speaks of who we are as a global school and reflects the multicultural community we serve – diverse, modern, and global. We are proud to be a part of the evolving education sector in Jakarta, and our new logo will now illustrate how far JMS has come in our 10-year history. We have evolved from a Montessori school to a Cambridge and IB World School, connecting with the diverse cultures of Jakarta’s expatriate and local residences while continuing to embody the spirit, passion, ingenuity, and courage that are the fundamental values of Jakarta culture. JMS is an International Baccalaureate (IB) school as well as a registered Cambridge International Centre (CIC) with the University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE). Away from busy streets and toll roads, JMS is located on two hectares of land in a secure and green environment that boasts excellent facilities. Taking pride in addressing the growing need for a warm, familiar, and student-oriented place to study, the school has a low teacher-to-student ratio that enables us to pay close attention to the individual needs, learning preferences, and talents of each of our pupils. Students are therefore always challenged and actively engaged. JMS’ students come from diverse nationalities and the PYP, IB DP, and Cambridge curricula help them to develop multicultural awareness and appreciation that enriches their studies and school life. Multiculturalism has been at the heart of JMS since its earliest days, and the school’s motto: ‘Expanding Horizons, Valuing Diversity and Connecting Minds’, not only applies to the students, but also the dedicated team of caring and professional staff. Our teachers are qualified, experienced practitioners from all over the world. To meet the needs of all English levels within our community, we provide intensive courses in our Language Centre with an excellent success rate in equipping students with the skills needed to actively participate in lessons.

As natural learners, children are unique individuals, as all human beings are. They grow at different speeds. They have different talents and learn in different ways. These characteristics have been denied by education for many years. Children had to strive to match the standard of education that was set by the school. Conformity to the standard was highly valued and differences from the standard were seen as less than normal. HighScope believes in individual differences. School should, therefore, be the place to accommodate these differences, the place to empower students in all their uniqueness and put them in control of their learning. Learning is more than knowing about basic facts of what are called subjects. Learning is acquiring sets of life tools that will be used for the rest of one’s life. Learning must be seen as a road that will lead to the future. The learners will actively travel along the road to reach their destination.HighScope is committed to facilitate and guide the learners’ journey through its current four educational programs Early childhood, Elementary, Middle, and High School. HighScope’s Educational Approach is an open framework that organizes and supports the students’ and teachers’ environment, daily routine, and interactions. The framework is adapted by educators to meet the unique needs of their local community and groups of students. For the students, the framework provides a consistent schedule that includes interesting things to do, attention from their teachers for their specific interests and needs, and a sense of control over themselves and their environment. The learning activities teachers plan for students foster independent thinking, initiative, and creativity. Students’ cognitive, social, emotional, and physical capacities develop quickly when they can use materials and their imaginations freely in an environment that promotes investigation, decision–making, cooperation, persistence, and problem-solving. Sekolah HighScope Indonesia employs an international approach and standard that is adjusted to the local context: culture, conditions, and ethics. Our curriculum is adjusted in the same manner to enrich the curriculum of the Indonesian Ministry of Education. “Sekolah HighScope Indonesia’s vision is to be the world’s innovative leader and the barometer of education in Indonesia” Sekolah HighScope Indonesia’s mission is to help Indonesian children develop totally – academic, intrapersonal and physical and be competitive international by providing the highest quality”.

The first Montessori school established in Jakarta began in 1981 as a playgroup under the name of Srikandi Montessori School and was formed under the guidance of Gloria Kalff. Due to the ever-increasing appeal for Montessori education, the school evolved into a complete primary program, providing education for children from 2 years old through elementary Grade 6. The school changed its name to Jayakarta Montessori School in 1995. The buildings are architecturally designed and equipped with facilities to meet the Montessori philosophy. The specially prescribed Montessori equipment is imported exclusively from the official worldwide manufacturer, Neinhuis Montessori, Holland. A Montessori teacher and a classroom assistant staff each classroom. The teachers receive training from an approved Montessori training center. Classroom assistants are selected based on their understanding of the principles of child development and their ability to observe the child. The remainder of the staff includes part-time specialist instructors, assistants, and administrative staff. Jayakarta Montessori School is a preschool and elementary school located in Kemang, South Jakarta, offering programs for children from 18 months to 11 years of age. Through the Montessori approach, students are motivated to learn naturally by providing a prepared environment and materials which the children can use at their own pace. This approach focuses on building intrinsic motivation, independence, self-discipline, and a positive self-image. Each child is taught the necessary skills to prepare them for the next phase, be it in a larger school, in another international school, or back home overseas. Montessori children are adaptable. Since they have been encouraged to make decisions from an early age, these children are problem-solvers who can make choices and manage their time well. They have also been encouraged to exchange ideas and to discuss their work freely with others. Good communication skills ease the way in new settings. Montessori programs, based on self-directed, non-competitive activities, help children develop good self-images and the confidence to face challenges and change. Jayakarta Montessori School is a corresponding member of the American Montessori Society, NYC, New York. View full school

As a matter of fact, in our world, today that, should one possess extraordinary skills, knowledge, academics competency, or education, do not necessarily mean that one should automatically be dedicated to the betterment of mankind and the world we live in today (rahmatan Lil Alamin). Historical facts showed that for those who seek Al Qur’an and As-Sunnah as the guidance and source in life they had become the ones who lay down the foundation of all we need for the betterment of the world we live in. Ibn Sina(980-1037 M) as the founding father of Modern Medicine & Medical Science, Al-Khawarismi (780-840 M) for Algebra and Algorithm, known as the founding father of Algebra, was an expert in mathematics, astronomy, and geography. Jabir Ibn Haiyan (750-803 M) for Chemistry, known as the father of the Chemistry of the World. Ibn Khaldun was born in the year of 732 H, for Social Science, and Abu Ubaid (838 M) was the founding father of Economy to name a few. To achieve the objective for someone to be “Insan Kamil” and “rahmatan Lil ‘Alamin”, one should place Al-Qur’an and As-Sunnah as the ‘core’ of all existence, and the ‘ultimate’ guidance and source of all skills, knowledge, academics competency and education system for one to be successful in one’s own life and at the same time contribute to the betterment of the mankind and the world we live in, now and the hereafter. The above-mentioned concept in life, is the commitment of the founders of Madina Islamic School, to bring the Islamic Worldview and Global Education to the future generation. Madina Islamic School is an Islamic Integrated National-Plus School, offering Islamic, National, and International standards of education. It was established in 2004 and is located in the residential area of Tebet, South Jakarta. The outcome of the school are expected to possess a truly genuine character as “mu’min” and at the same time possess a high standard of academic competency, that would allow them to enroll to the top universities in Indonesia and overseas, for their certificates of education are accredited nationally and internationally. Our vision to be an integrated educational institution that can produce generations with global capacities and have characters with integrity as insan Kamil who are ready to build a civilized society. Madina Islamic School curriculum is an integrated curriculum, School core curriculum (Islamic Value), International curriculum, and National standard curriculum namely DIKNAS. Placing Al Qur’an and As-Sunnah as the ‘core’ and the ‘ultimate’ guidance and source of all skills, knowledge, and academic competency, with the process of Islamic Knowledge, Science, way of life, and culture.

The Mahatma Gandhi School founded in 1950 is dedicated to providing educational and supportive services enabling children to have a safe and successful childhood. The school has a tradition of more than half a century in providing quality education which speaks of commitment and reliability. The Mahatma Gandhi Schools at Kemayoran and Pasar Baru are run by Yayasan Gandhi Semesta Prima (an affiliate of Gandhi Seva Loka). The human soul, without education, is like marble in the quarry, which shows none of its inherent beauties till the skill of the polisher fetches out the colors, makes the surface shine, and discovers every ornamental cloud, spot, and vein that runs through the body of it. What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to the soul. We are committed to providing a conducive and caring atmosphere to all our students, just apt for the young minds to be nurtured. The atmosphere at school must be an amalgamation of modern trends and invaluable tradition in a truly child-friendly environment. We aim to inculcate in our student's great self-discipline, intense perseverance, and zeal to excel which are the qualities required to meet the challenges of modern society. The school seeks your utmost co-operation and support at all times to achieve the high standards set. Education is the most important and the only ongoing process which encourages, inspires, and enthuses one to explore the galaxy of dreams and vision. It prepares and propels one for immediate action and implementation. In the words of G.K. Chesterton, “Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to the next”. This is the outlook of learning that we strive to instill in our students at Mahatma Gandhi School. We are on a passionate and exciting journey towards carrying forward a highly progressive and enterprising academic institution, pledged to provide quality education with great emphasis on traditional values. Along with academic excellence, Mahatma Gandhi School is committed to inculcating in all its students, strong ethical values of integrity, politeness, kindness, and respect for elders. We firmly believe that education should foster confidence, discipline, clarity in thought and decision-making ability to set and achieve goals, and above all, social responsibility as a life-long process. Our curriculum embraces the holistic development of the student as the cornerstone of all schooling activity, ensuring a fine and healthy balance in the development and blossoming of the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains of the learner. We ensure that the assessment techniques are meant to assess the comprehension of various concepts by the child and the application of the same for problem-solving and/or employing life skills not mere memorization and rote-learning from the textbooks. Mission Statement: To offer quality education through a broad-based, curriculum To promote an international perspective among its students To provide a variety of opportunities to ensure for each student, the chance to develop his or her full potential as a committed and valued member of the community To develop in students the qualities and skills, necessary to become confident, self-motivated, responsible, and socially aware individuals walking the path of leadership.

At MGS we encourage professionals from various fields to visit and talk to students to bring about awareness, expose them to various options so that they can weigh the pros and cons of any venture that they opt to undertake.

Our purposes may be illustrated by a pair of glasses. One lens is made up of our objectives to develop students with biblical character traits who have integrity as they live in the world. The spiritual formation of students is critical to raising responsive disciples. The other lens is to bring the mind of Christ to education so that students are educated with academic rigor and will be accepted into their English university of choice around the world. IICS believes that both lenses must be in focus for students to reach their full potential. Students are created in God’s image and are made with special characteristics positioning them to carry out God’s design for their lives. Helping your child to live for a Christ-centered purpose includes the “head” knowledge of a biblical worldview, the “heart” knowledge of a personal commitment to Christ, and the outreach experience of faith in action through “hands.” IICS works in tandem with parents to uncover their unique strengths and talents. Within our Kindergarten & Elementary, Junior High, and Senior High, we want children to feel significant and secure in all classrooms and experience a sense of belonging within our biblical learning community. We are looking for an increased number of children, parents, and teachers to join our “shalom community.” Our school is made up of a diverse community of believers from many international locations that are united in the love of Christ. IPEKA Christian School was established when a young Chinese pastor, Dr. William Ho realized that Christian families were unable to find quality Christian schools for their children. Along with several church leaders, he developed a vision for a new school based on three objectives: to educate the nation, provide education of the highest standards, and serve the Lord Jesus Christ through education. These three pillars grew into the mission and vision of IPEKA. We’re building on this legacy as we continue to develop the next generation of strategic leaders who integrate faith and learning. IPEKA INTEGRATED Christian School Kindergarten uses A Beka Christian Curriculum, an integrated, Bible-based curriculum from the U.S. which provides students with knowledge and opportunities to learn more about God through all subjects. The school also applies that philosophy in the daily method of teaching to help students grow in their faith and to protect them from the attack of worldly values. IPEKA INTEGRATED Kindergarten has a 3-year education program (Nursery, Kindergarten 4 {K4}, and Kindergarten 5 {K5}), providing a unique opportunity for students to learn from a variety of teaching materials and methodology from our professional, trained staff. Grade 1 through 6 will use the New South Wales (NSW) Australiacurriculum standards to set their outcomes and plans to continue the learning process. Students will use a variety of textbooks from America, Australia, and other countries that are aligned to the standards of NSW and will provide the desired content outcomes. Students will learn the 21st-century learning skills that cover creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration which are all based on Biblical principles. Lessons are delivered in a variety of different teaching methods, including hands-on activities that give students more opportunities for the personal learning experiences. View full school
