Dear Parents and Students,
The 2011 - 2012 school year is about to open here at the North Jakarta International School, and we are excited to have you visit to see the new renovations over this and the following week. The students will be able during the coming school year to dine in comfort in our newly air-conditioned Cafeteria, read quietly in an illuminating Library, and cool off in the refurbished Swimming Pool. WI FI High Speed Internet is now available throughout the campus because of the significant upgrades to our Technology Center, which has added more than 70 new computers to the classes and labs.
School opens on Monday, August 8, 2011, beginning at 7:30 A.M. Newly hired overseas teachers have been working over the last weeks preparing to challenge all our students to reach their full potential. SMART Board technology will be available to all students. Special thanks to PAFA who made a significant donation to allow us to procure a large "SMART Board" for the Library. Visit our Library to enjoy this marvelous new technology to assist with learning.
School fees advised earlier this year remain in place if you have registered and paid the school fees in full by August 8, 2011. School dismissal times for Grades 1 - 10 will be announced before school begins next Wednesday. Those interested in enrolling their Kindergarten children for this coming school year should contact Anna Rangkuti, Director of Admission.
NJIS pledges to continue to offer progressive education which prepares our students up and beyond IGCSE, International Baccalaureate, and Advance Placement with our required participation in the Fine Arts Programs. All students in Grades 4 -10 will be a part of Band, Strings, and/or Choir. Music is taught at all grade levels. In addition, we require Physical Education throughout the curriculum, which includes a compulsory swimming component.
On behalf of the NJIS faculty and staff, I say "Terima Kasih" for your continued support. We look forward to continuing the legacy of being a "well-balanced school in a family setting".
Warmly,
Gary L. Lafoy
