Greetings from the Managing Director
Educating
children in the 21st century has become more complex than at any time
before in history. The complexity of problems facing our children covers
numerous aspects, such as culture, the economy, politics, health,
society, and rapid technological development, just to mention a few.
Consequently, the world we live in today requires highly resourceful
people who can sort, analyze and utilize information to answer the
challenges of the future.
In our efforts to prepare our children for such real life challenges
and to achieve success in life, more than just academic excellence is
needed. Moreover, we can no longer only emphasize academic areas;
instead, we need to develop students as complete human beings, by
balancing the development of their academic, interpersonal and
intrapersonal skills, in addition to developing their learn to learn
skills, creativity and building strong character with spiritual
intelligence.
Starting with the opening of our preschool program in 1996, we
subsequently established HighScope Institute Indonesia in 2000 and
sought to promote the HighScope approach throughout the archipelago by
opening more schools all over Indonesia offering preschool, elementary,
middle and high school programs for children aged 1.5 to 18 years old.
Years have passed and HighScope Institute Indonesia vigorously
continues to conduct teacher development programs, thus ensuring quality
in training and practice, to provide relevant services to individual
sites, to develop training course materials, and to enrich elementary,
middle and high school curriculums. HighScope Institute also works in
cooperation with qualified consultants in various academic fields to
provide research and development activities along with workshops to
enhance the pedagogical skills of our teachers and keep them up-to-date.
HighScope believes that a school is a learning organization that
involves everyone in the system – students, parents, educators,
community, government, and business people – in expressing their
aspirations, building their awareness, and developing their capabilities
together, by learning from one another. From its humble beginnings
until the present day, HighScope Indonesia continues to animate the
mission of Ki Hadjar Dewantoro – Ing Ngarsa Sung Tuladha, Ing Madya
Mangun Karsa, Tut Wuri Handayani, to become a learning organization
where everybody is inspired to always seek knowledge throughout their
life journeys - as the leader in the Human Development Paradigm.
We invite you to contact the school to arrange a visit at your
convenience and discuss the benefits of a HighScope approach for your
family.
I wish you a warm and friendly welcome.
