Kindergarten

Personal, social and physical education, quality teaching with proven achievement.

Early childhood marks a time of significant growth and learning. The experiences of children at this time have a powerful effect on their future development. At ACG International School Jakarta, the emphasis behind all our teaching and interaction is on building foundations for the future growth of the child through inquiry based learning. We help our students acquire skills and knowledge that will benefit their development and also aim to install a positive attitude towards learning. Children are actively engaged with their environment through exploration and investigations that the students often initiate themselves.

The ACG International School Jakarta Kindergarten encourages children to see learning as both enjoyable and meaningful to the real world we live in. We focus on developing the child as a complete global citizen through social, physical, intellectual and emotional learning. The School's programme has a strong emphasis on language development and opportunities for thinking, problem-solving, self-expression and discovery.

Kindergarten and Primary School Curriculum

Teaching from Kindergarten to Year 6, ACG Jakarta is based on the Primary Years Programme (PYP) developed by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO).

The PYP seeks to enhance student's thinking skills and deepen their understanding of the themselves, their environment and our changing world. It prepares students for the essential skills and understandings they will need for the future.
