For two days, our Grade 8 students will sit for the ANBK (Asesmen Nasional Berbasis Komputer / Computer-based National Assessment), a mandatory assessment from Indonesia's Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology.

Graduation is not determined by the National Assessment. The government examines the quality of schools and the education system as a whole through the National Assessment. Good luck, Grade 8 students!

Spreading Kindness, One Sip at a Time!

Today, some low primary students took a break from the books to share some refreshing ‘Juice for You’ with our amazing housekeeping and security team, as part of our Community Project class. One whispered, "Can we do this again tomorrow?”

Teaching our young minds the importance of community and gratitude is essential for us as learners and as a part of society.

We haven't had a martial arts class at our school in a long time. Starting this week, our PYP and MYP students will be able to learn about taekwondo, South Korea's well-known martial arts.

Basic stances and punches were some of the things that the students learned yesterday afternoon. Hot and sunny weather does not lower their spirit to practice and to know more about taekwondo.

Students, hwaiting! 🥋

Monday marked the official beginning of the YIS students' extracurricular activities. There are a variety of activities available for PYP, MYP and DP students, including Taekwondo, Fun Soccer, Celebgram, Volleyball, Photography Club, Dance Club, Drama Club, and Computer Club.

Among the PYP students, Fun Soccer is one of the most favored activities. Our Grade 1 through Grade 6 students enjoyed themselves tremendously yesterday afternoon as they scored goal after goal on the YIS outdoor sports field.

Have fun students! ⚽️

Handling preschool separation anxiety can be challenging, but with patience, understanding, and consistent strategies, you can help your child cope with it. Remember that each child is unique, and what works for one may not work for another. Be patient and flexible in your approach, and with time, most children will gradually overcome their separation anxiety as they become more comfortable with the preschool environment and routine.
