Singapore Intercultural School Bona Vista

Overview

Singapore Intercultural School Bona Vista is the flagship school of SIS Group of Schools, located in the housing complex of Bona Vista, South Jakarta. The school has an open, airy concept amidst lush, contoured gardens. The facility includes a competition-sized pool, soccer field, basketball courts and tennis courts. Singapore Intercultural School first opened its doors in 2002 and has now an enrolment of over 220 students for the 2016/17 academic year in pre-school through Junior College representing 25 nations around the world.

SIS models itself after top schools in Singapore adapting the Singapore curriculum as well as its teaching methodologies. Recent worldwide assessments by TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study), PIRLS (Progress in International Reading Literacy Study), and the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) placed Singapore at the top of global rankings, effectively rating Singapore's education system as the "best in the world".

SIS uses an enquiry-based program. In the Early Years, students' focus is on the foundation of Maths, Science and English amidst a well-balanced aesthetics and sports program. Secondary School students then move into the Cambridge Curriculum, and High School (Junior College or JC) students do the internationally recognised International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma. Students work to be fluent in regional languages like Mandarin and Bahasa Indonesia. The SIS program is imbibed by important life and work skills through our PACE initiative: Perseverance, Analytical Thinking, Collaboration/Communication and Entrepreneurism.

At SIS, the school walks alongside the learners, as a friend, a philosopher, and a guide. The faculty is passionate about its philosophy of "Inspired Learning for Inspired Futures" and the future can only become brighter if access to all the best universities/colleges is made available by a progressive school. It is this inherent passion that drove SIS to take the initiative of starting two academic intakes, the first of its kind in this part of the world by a school.
