Primary School
Our primary school program applied the New Zealand Curriculum (NZC), which is offers an inquiry-based holistic approach to education
Our Principles
Creative
Creating dynamic classrooms with engaging and fun activities that “hook” students and encourage natural curiosity, ownership of their learning directions and active learning for life.
Encouraging
Catering for the whole person, we teach to your child’s needs, not merely curriculum expectations. Integrating cross-curricular academic, social and physical skills to develop the whole child and encourage special strengths and abilities.
Developing
Giving individual attention to children by building and developing respectful learning relationships with them. This provides a safe and stable base for them to explore new (and challenging) ideas and skills.
New Zealand Curriculum
NZSJ applies the New Zealand Curriculum (NZC), which is aligned with the above principles and offers an inquiry-based holistic approach to education, promoted through the learning areas of:
- English
- The Arts
- Health and Physical Education
- Learning Languages
- Mathematics and Statistics
- Science
- Social Studies
- Technology
We consider that the holistic nature of this curriculum offers our children a solid foundation that will set them up for success as they grow, explore and contribute in this world.
Learning Beyond the Classroom
As well as providing unique teaching and learning opportunities within our classrooms, at NZSJ we also value education outside the classroom. This means that students often go on excursions or have ‘expert’ visitors come into the school to assist in providing rich authentic learning opportunities.
We make links within our community among other things by participating in :
- Clean Up Jakarta Day
- The Jakarta Association of Small International School’s sporting events
- Hosting a local community bazaar / picnic.
