  FAQ  
 
  • What is the biggest change?
  1. Theachers quality improved
  2. Theachers attitudes and performance has improved
  3. Spirit and camaraderie has greatly improved
  • Does this now mean that our student will no longer be required to do the UAN?
  1. No.
  2. But being fully international as an educational facility means we do not hava to put the student through the UAN.
  • Does mean that the National Curriculum is forgotten?
  1. No.
  2. Because the students are mostly Indonesian they should still be given the foundations of the National content to help maintain their feeling of citizenship all the while becoming internationalized.
  • If we decide to opt out of the UAN, will there be a difference in timetable and syllabus for each subject, e.g. more time given to core subject, e.g. English, Math, and Science?
  1. No, there should not be.
  2. School that follow dual degree programs concentrate on main curriculum making sure the contents of the subordinate curriculum are covered.
  3. Most of the school do this by following a Saturday preparation class for the student following the UAN exams giving them any missing vocabulary or contents required to fully and successfully follow the UAN.
  • How can we benchmark our students progress and performance with other schools if the majority (if not all) of our students choose not to follow the UAN as grade 6?
  1. Benchmarking is very simple and much more adequate as an international school following the CIPP or other Cambridge curriculums.
  2. Rather than students being benchmarked just in Indonesia with the UAN they are being benchmarked in a worldwide atmosphere using the Cambridge exams and evaluations.
  • Can we now expect more expatriate teachers?
  1. No answer for above questions can give a yes to this question.
  2. The school does need more expatriate teachers but only way to get more towards the ability to raise the fees allowing enough money to cover the costs of hiring expatriate and/or native speaker teacher.
