ACADEMIC SUPPORT

Through our programme, our early Primary students build and strengthen their English language skills to communicate with confidence both in the classroom and socially with their friends.

In-class support

We know that when children can confidently communicate in English at our school, they feel happier, included and comfortable. They have more confidence to contribute to class discussions, and build stronger friendships. 

Our programme highlights in-class learning through additional support, like encouraging a child to read a book chapter. The EAL teacher will invite students out of the class setting to read a picture book that matches their language level, advancing their communication skills.

We ensure that every child has what they need to succeed. With the help of our parents, teachers, department heads, medical professionals and assistants, we will create a customised learning plan, building a tailored framework for your child’s education.

Children are integrated into mainstream classes as much as possible and where necessary additional learning support systems, along with EAL assistance, is provided. We have a range of qualified staff, including teachers with Special Education Needs qualifications to work closely with your child. 

NAS Jakarta uses existing links with a broad range of resources including specialised assistants and a Dutch, dual lingual educational psychologist.While our programme aims to be as inclusive as possible, there are some limits to the support that the school can offer. If you would like to discuss your child’s particular needs or want to know more about our supportive education programme, we warmly encourage you to get in touch and see how NAS Jakarta can work for you.

In the Early Years, learning through play is a fundamental part of development. Rather than focusing on rote learning (memorisation based on repetition), outside-class learning emphasises parents playing with children - talking and interacting with them as they explore the world around them. Nurturing and encouraging passions in children from a young age is fundamental to cultivating a lifelong love of learning.

As children move into Primary, the focus remains on exploration. Our world-class teachers encourage students to work on personalised projects that foster their individual passions. Through this, teachers can deliver inspiring lessons and guide children towards their passions in meaningful ways.
