HIGHLIGHTS
The Learning Process and Characteristics of Children at Elementary School Age
The formation of students’ abilities at school is influenced by the learning process they carry out. A good learning process needs to pay attention to the characteristics of student according to their level so that they can support the formation of student’s abilities. The characteristics of student at the elementary school age level are that they prefer to play, move, work in groups, and enjoy feeling or doing things directly. For this reason, Kasih Baptist School is called to participate in developing every student’s potential and character through quality education and teaching based on Christian values.
The Character Education through Learner Profiles
Students are images of God who have different characters so they are very unique. It is a gift and opportunity for us to be entrusted with forming student’s characters. Our desire is for student to have a character that is increasingly similar to Christ and make Christ as the main thing in their lives.
Kasih Baptist School implements Bible-integrated learning and has learning profile achievements carried out in teaching and learning activities in each subject and training at school. The goal is that students are not only intellectually intelligent, but also have noble character.
Appreciation of Cognitive Achievement and Skills
Kasih Baptist School implements a learning process that is comfortable, enjoyable, and supports children’s holistic development. The process of assessing student abilities is carried out according to the student’s learning style with authentic assessment, such as students carrying out projects, presentations, portfolios, direct observations, or assignments that involve solving relevant problems. The learning approach is carried out on a weekly system for Mathematics, Science, Civics, Social Affairs and English subjects. This is done with the aim of deepening and completing students’ understanding of the subject matter.
We believe that every student has different cognitive abilities in each subject. There are student who excellent in one subject, several subjects, and some even excellent in all subjects. We appreciate the achievement of each student’s cognitive abilities by providing certificates for success in obtaining the best grades in subjects in which the excellent student.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES
We prepare learning activities that promote confidence for our elementary students, enhancing their academic and social capabilities. They are introduced to our specially designed plan-do-review method, leading them to value both the process and end results, which enriches their learning experiences. In addition, we encourage students to develop their unique intrapersonal, interpersonal, and academic skills through the generation of their own thinking and ideas.
Kasih Baptist integrates the National Curriculum with the International Curriculum.
Kasih Baptist curriculum is uniquely designed to cover:

The multi-age class is a class consisting of students who are 1-2 years apart in age, in the same class. This multi-age class describes a real life situation where students interact with other students of different ages and abilities, e.g. grade K with grade 1, grade 2 with grade 3, and so on. Research shows that multi-age classrooms develop interpersonal and academic skills.
If we view it from everyday life (real life), e. g., in our work environment, we work with people who are different ages to collaborate and produce something worthwhile. Kasih Baptist believes that by providing these real life experiences, children will learn how to socialize with people of different ages. That’s why Kasih Baptist runs the Multi-age Classroom consisting of a combination of adjacent ages in the same class.
From the Elementary Program to the High School program, Kasih Baptist Indonesia School implements a dual language program. The language of instruction used is both English & Indonesian.
These two languages are used in an academic context (academic language) and a social context (social language). In an academic context, there are several subjects delivered in English & there are other subjects delivered in Indonesian.
Examples of subjects delivered in Indonesian are Indonesian Language, Religion & Social Studies (IPS & PPKN) lessons, while subjects other than the 3 subjects above are delivered in English.
In the social context, Kasih Baptist Indonesia School has a Language of the Day program. Indonesian & English are spoken alternately at socialization times and morning meetings, for example Monday in English, Tuesday in Indonesian, and so on. With the implementation of the Dual Language Program, students will be proficient in two languages at once, both academically and socially.
HighScope religion lessons are Compulsory of Protestant
The support provided and supervision of students is an important part of learning at Kasih Baptist. The ratio of teachers to students is organized so that teachers can carry out their duties optimally
The ratios implemented in Kasih Baptist are taken from the ratios used by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). NAEYC is a professional organization that aims to improve the quality of education from early childhood to 8 years old in America.
Kasih Baptist Indonesia School applies the ratio of 1:12 for Elementary & Middle School.

At every Kasih Baptist School, new students, first go through a “Screening” process by taking the “Basic Competency Test”. One of the subjects assessed is English. In addition, Kasih Baptist Indonesia School also asks prospective students to complete the admissions “Requirements”, one of which is the “Academic Report Card History” to see the history of achievement in English from the prospective student’s previous school.
Thus, if Kasih Baptist School accepts these prospective students, then the consequences are that they must fulfill the standards of Kasih Baptist Indonesia School. If they need support, they are required to take the Afternoon English Program (AEP).
To join the Elementary Program, there is an observation class for the prospective students and parents with the child psychologist or school principal and an interview of the prospective parents. “Academic Report Card History” to see the history of achievement in English from the prospective student’s previous school.
Forming character and developing achievement is our commitment to educating the nation’s generation. We are happy to welcome and serve the nation’s next generation. We also thank the parents who entrusted their children to be educated at the Kasih Baptist School.
God bless us.
