Over 2 billion people celebrate Lunar New Year all over the world. As a school that implements an International Curriculum, it is one of our goals to develop International Mindedness within the students. This mindset plays an important part within the strategy of preparing our students to become global players.

To support that goal, YIS students, parents, and teachers today celebrated the Lunar New Year with singing, dancing, and poem reading. A Lion Dance Group was also invited to perform in front of the students and parents. We hope that the Year of Water Rabbit will bring us prosperity and happiness.

Gong Xi Fa Cai.

Have you seen our soccer fields? We are very proud to say that we have one of the best soccer fields in town. Students use this field to do some sports activities during the Physical and Health Education classes.

The soccer fields, mini-farms, lakes, and botanical gardens are some of the facilities that we provide for our students and the YIS community. We hope that by using these facilities, students will be happier at school and will always feel fresh during their studies.

Welcome back to school, students!

After a long end-of-the-year holiday, we are recharged and ready to give the best education to our students. Discussing the lesson plans, upcoming events, schedules, and receiving inputs from other colleagues are some of the things that we did today.

Students, we hope you had a wonderful holiday and we'll see you on Wednesday, 11 January 2023 for the first day of school in Term 3.

As the One-and-Only IB World School in Yogyakarta which offers the official IB Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and Diploma Programme (DP), we are proud to report that our school has passed the first 5 years evaluation (re-accreditation) by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO), with an outstanding result.

Through this evaluation process that took place at the beginning of November, YIS gained a deeper understanding of both the aspects of the program that are being implemented effectively and the aspects that need further development. With great pleasure, we saw tremendous support from parents, teachers, staff, and students during the interview sessions with the evaluating team. We are content that YIS is able to provide the best education for the students and a conducive learning atmosphere which is supported by very solid stakeholders.

The YIS End-of-the-Year Concert which was held last Friday was a huge success. We were taken to Neverland, a beautiful island full of magic and wonder, where we can see the adventure of Peter Pan, Wendy, and her little brothers.

Congratulations to everyone involved in making the beautiful concert happen, and happy holiday!
