How the assessment criteria of international school

About International School

International school is school that applied international education system in their school. Teacher, student, language, all designed based on international system. International school in Indonesia also called as Satuan Pendidikan Kerjasama (SPK). “International School” has changed name as SPK because “international” label can be salling point by some school that used it and in fact that school not apply international school. So, parents not get the international curriculum for their children.

SPK also required to get some government rules. SPK must take accreditation process, national exam (Ujian Nasional), SPK still has to teach Citizenship, Indonesian Language and Religion subjects for Indonesian students.

Quality of Education

The quality of education in international schools applies international education standards which use the Cambridge and IB curriculum. The essence of Cambridge that schools can take and apply now is how to apply the learning approach used by Cambridge to make students become “reflective learners”. The word “reflective learner” for me was first heard and rather difficult it seems to define clearly its meaning. From the various literacy that I am looking for, there is no definite definition of the meaning of “reflective learner”, but I can conclude from the characteristics listed in the Cambridge module that “reflective learner” is how to form students into a true learner, learn how to learn and manage change both for himself and his environment.

Quality of Teacher

Teachers in international schools come from various countries in the world, for example USA, England, Australia, China, India, and so on.

Quality of Facilities

Facilities for academic learning in several international schools are quite interesting to discuss. Some examples are IT laboratories, science laboratories, visual arts laboratories, and libraries. Each student can use these facilities to develop academic value at school.

With complete facilities as mentioned earlier, students are more enthusiastic and active in learning. This means that with adequate facilities they are able to innovate and explore any project that must be completed. Every available facility is guarded by teaching staff who are competent in their field. That way students more easily absorb the lessons given without significant obstacles.

Quality of Alumni

Prospects for graduates of international schools are to work on an international scale or continue their studies at leading universities in the world. Several international schools in Indonesia have produced graduates who study at Cambridge University. Hopefully international school alumni can boast and build this country for the better.
