We understand the importance of family time and the benefits of engaging in outdoor activities, which is why we organized family outbound activities last Friday for all our Early Years students and families.

This outdoor activity, which took place at Sobo Ndeso Outbound, was designed to give families the opportunity to gather together, enjoy the great outdoors, and participate in activities that promote collaboration, communication, and enjoyment.

This year, our YIS community celebrates Thanksgiving by organizing a Thanksgiving Poem Competition titled "Cultivating Gratitude", where students create and share poems expressing their thankfulness to parents, teachers, friends, employees, and all those who enrich their journey in life.

Thank you, dear students and teachers, for your participation in this amazing event, and congratulations to all the winners!

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

On Saturday, November 18, 2023 the traditional Jogja International Heritage Walk (JIHW) was held along a scenic walking route around the Prambanan temple complex. Some of our students, teachers, parents and staff actively participated in the 10km walking event. We believe that by participating in this event, our YIS students and teachers will be able to widen their horizons, make new friends, and gain a greater respect for Yogyakarta's cultural history.

As an IB World School, we urge our students to be curious, compassionate, and respectful of cultural diversity. Our goal is to create learners who are actively engaged with the world around them.

We have exposed our students to the Javanese Gamelan for the past two days. They learn about its history and how to play traditional Javanese music. For some, this is their first time holding and playing Gamelan. It was an exciting experience!
