Personal  peer  relationships  and  preparation  for  the  formal university  /  college  preparation  program  found  at  the  high school  level  are  central to  Middle  School.  It  is  the  most  intense developmental  time  in  a  child’s  life  when  physical,  emotional, and  social  changes  are  experienced.



This  transition  period  is called pre–adolescence.  Middle School is designed to build upon the  foundation  that  students  have  acquired  in  Lower School  and prepare  them  to  take  advantage  of  educational  opportunities  in the future. The program strives to achieve a balance between the rigorous demands of a college-preparatory school and the needs of  a  growing  adolescent.  Maintaining  focus  on  the  development of  the  whole child,  the  curriculum  addresses  intellectual,  social, emotional,  aesthetic,  creative,  physical  and  ethical  development.  Teachers combine their knowledge with students’ special interests to promote an academically stimulating environment.  Opportunities are available for individual and collaborative experiences.



 The  middle  school  curriculum  provides  a  solid  foundation  in  all learning areas:




  • ADVISORY

  • BAHASA

  • ENGLISH

  • MATH

  • PHYSICAL EDUCATION

  • SCIENCE

  • SOCIAL  STUDIES

  • ENGLISH  LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT  I,  II  and  III

  • PERFORMING  ARTS

  • LIBRARY

Curriculum

The Middle School program at North Jakarta Intercultural School (NJIS) helps our students transition from their homerooms in the Lower School to a more independent and challenging classroom environment in the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades. Middle School students have more responsibility in music and drama productions and can participate on sports teams. They are guided by grade-level advisors who assist and support each student in their choices and by a team of faculty who know and understand this age group.



 



In the Middle School students take the core subjects of reading, writing, social studies, math and science and also enrichment courses in physical education and swimming, art, film studies, STEM and choral music. All students study Bahasa Indonesia, and our Indonesian students have additional courses in Indonesian studies and civics, and religion.  The 6th grade is the first year where the students from Indonesia take part in the National Exam. For our students who come from homes where English is not their first language, our English Language Learner (ELL) teacher works closely with the faculty and students in a full immersion program.



 



Our newest Middle School program is STEM, where science, technology, engineering, and math are integrated into an exploratory, problem-solving study. STEM learning takes place in all classrooms and also in our focused STEM rooms where students can engage in innovation and connect their academic and their personal curiosities.  By the time our students reach Middle School they can complete more challenging and complex projects and are expected to learn through trial and error rather than from a ready-made kit where the outcome is more predictable.
