Singapore education system introduced in RI<\/p>\n
It has always been every parents' hope to send their children
\nto the best school for their education. Now, Jakarta has an
\nadditional choice in the Singapore International School (SIS),
\nwhich claims to offer Singapore's high education standard for
\nexpatriates in the capital.<\/p>\n
Any expatriate children can enroll as long as they fulfill the
\nprevailing statutory requirements of Indonesian laws governing
\ninternational schools.<\/p>\n
SIS' classes include preprimary and primary. Admission is open
\nto children of expatriates of all nationalities in Indonesia.<\/p>\n
SIS is modeled after the Singapore concept of education in an
\ninternational environment. Key teachers are all recruited from
\nSingapore and have extensive experience with the Singapore
\ncurriculum.<\/p>\n
Adopting a Singapore education curriculum set by the Singapore
\nMinistry of Education (MOE), SIS offers mother tongue language as
\na Second Language and strives to prepare its students to further
\ntheir education in Singapore and beyond.<\/p>\n
SIS provides a Singapore-based education. Founded on the
\nprinciples that govern it, SIS will ensure that its pupils are
\nexposed to a wider world, and they are equipped with the skills
\nto take greater responsibility for their own learning and the
\ncapacity to ensure their own survival. In addition, the school
\nwill seek to acquaint pupils with their own heritage and to work
\nclosely with parents. It will be guided by the pursuit of high
\nstandards in all its endeavors.<\/p>\n
SIS aims to provide a well-rounded education for pupils to
\nexcel academically, develop strong moral character, be physically
\nfit and able to appreciate art, music and culture.<\/p>\n
The two main long-term goals are character formation and
\nbringing the best out of each and every pupil. SIS believes that
\nfor an educational institute to be successful, emphasis must be
\nplaced on character formation and then academic excellence. SIS
\nwould continue to provide an environment in which pupils and
\nstaff are given opportunities to exercise their initiative and
\ncreativity.<\/p>\n
Everyone develops at SIS, where a culture of both pupils and
\nstaff are continually learning. This is in line with Singapore's
\nnational vision of "Thinking Schools, Learning Nation".<\/p>\n
The school's motto Towards Greater Heights hopes that the
\nstaff and pupils will work hard and progress together to achieve
\nsuccess in all their endeavors.<\/p>\n
SIS initially started in early 1997. This historic moment was
\na culmination of planning and conceptualizing since 1994 by a
\ngroup of concerned Singaporeans in Jakarta.<\/p>\n
This group was formed to address the educational concerns of
\nfellow Singaporeans in Indonesia for their children.<\/p>\n
There was a yearning for a school cast in the cultural milieu
\nof Singapore, with emphasis on high standards, character and
\nmoral formation, the mother tongue, traditional values and the
\nSingapore spirit. In essence, they wanted a Singapore-style
\neducation for their children.<\/p>\n
The school is strategically located at Gandaria, South
\nJakarta, and has a growing enrollment. Parents who are interested
\nin registering their children must fill in the application forms
\nwhich are available from the school office. A copy of the
\nParent's Handbook will be given upon registration.<\/p>\n
