Qualities and characteristics best defining the school |
The New Zealand School Jakarta (NZSJ) is a progressive, growing international school situated in the heart of Kemang in South Jakarta. At NZSJ, we believe that happy children are more confident learners. Consequently, we strive to be a place in which our tamariki (children) of all ages feel safe, supported and happy. We employ the New Zealand Curriculum supplemented with other academic programmes to serve the educational, physical, social-emotional and creative needs of children. |
Teaching approach of the school |
At NZSJ, we empower students to ask insightful questions, explore disciplinary boundaries and confront conventional ways of thinking. We guide our students to understand themselves as learners; set goals, take risks, be reflective. We seek to instil positive values and foster an environment of aroha (compassion), open-mindedness and respect towards others. Our integrated curriculum and inquiry-based approach enable our students to become confident, connected and active lifelong learners. |
