“The teachers are dedicated professionals who excel in their respective fields.”

“It means so much to us how NZSJ nurtured my child’s interests and needs, and most of all, the invaluable love and care by his teachers.”

“For parents who are looking for a stress-free school, a school that makes our kids happy and love to learn, a school that accepts our kids the way they are, a school that stands against bullying, and has a fun and creative learning method, then NZSJ is the best place for your kids.”

“We love the play-based approach in Kindergarten and the freedom that the children enjoy without academic pressure.”

“My son enjoys various activities that the teacher prepares for the class, such as math games, phonics, making art, reading books. It is good to see that he is learning while doing fun activities.”

“My son has really enjoyed learning in NZSJ. He is happy being a part of NZSJ community. It feels like his second home. His friends are nice and accept him just the way he is. He can explore his talent there and the school supports him a lot by giving him encouragement when he is sad or down and complement him when he achieves something good.”

“My son enjoys Math and Drama. He loves to learn new math concepts, and he likes acting and expressing himself during Drama class. Plus, he enjoys the project work, where he needs to use his math skill, art and imagination.”

“The teachers are awesome. I can't say enough how great they are.”

“I would like to say a big heartfelt THANK YOU for the fantastic support of the school over this past year, and in particular throughout this very different term 4 with exciting online learning and wonderful, daily video chats!”

“My favourite part about online school is art class. I think it’s really fun and I have learned some new techniques. I learned how to shade, how to colour, and I also learned how to shape a clay. Art class is always the end of the day which is relaxing and is just a good way to finish the day off.”

“Our daughter is a new student in NZSJ and also her first experience in international school (with full English). I remember her first presentation with full English. She didn’t want to do it, but finally she did and it was one of her best moments. She felt afraid, but after her presentation she felt so good for the effort she applied. Now she feels so much better than her first day of presentations because she now knows that she can do whatever she wants to do. Thank you to the mindfulness session that her teacher conducts every morning (I hear it every morning before I go to the office). The learning that she has acquired makes her feel good because she knows that she has to trust in herself.”

“NZSJ has good teachers, a strong curriculum and academic programme, good support systems. I love NZSJ so much :)”

“I am sure that my son will always treasure these beautiful memories of his Kindergarten time at NZSJ!”

“My son really enjoys learning about different subjects, especially maths. This is his THIRD term at NZSJ and he is really enjoying his time at this school.”

“It means so much to us how NZSJ nurtured my child’s interests and needs, and most of all, the invaluable love and care by his teachers.”

“I have enjoyed learning about the G Suite programs the most (Spreadsheets, Slides, Docs, etc).”

“I have learned how to make friends even if it’s online. I have also learned how to use my laptop better with the help of my teacher. Now I know how to make slides, documents, sheets, bookmark folders, and a jamboard. For the first week all my teacher did was teach us how to use all these tools, which taught me a lot and is really helpful.”

“As a student in NZSJ, the best thing about online classes is that students are taught by their teachers how to manage their time by making daily plans, which encourage students to be more independent. Also, we learn to not always depend on our teachers for everything. The teachers provide enough information on the subjects and give the students enough time to complete their assignments.”

“One of the ways we show our work to the teacher is by using a program called Google Classroom where we take pictures or share documents for each assignment and get graded for it just like an actual normal school. Our school knows that students are in a new environment and have never done school from home, so our school includes fun activities, projects and friendly discussions to cope with this new way of learning”

“This school provides a community not just a school, it is the perfect creative and nurturing, inspiring environment for my children to learn”

“My child is happy and excited to attend the online class.”

“NZSJ being one of the top international schools in Jakarta have put together an amazing online programme. This has benefitted my son immensely.”

“My son really enjoys his teachers and friends. Even though he has a new teacher, it didn’t take long for him to really like him. He can’t wait for school to reopen again.”
