Jakarta Intercultural School to Open Learning Center for Students With Specialized Needs
Jakarta Intercultural School (JIS) is set to launch a specialized program called the JIS Learning Center as part of its ongoing mission to provide an inclusive, high-quality educational experience to students with intensive learning needs. One of the few to operate in a Joint Cooperation School (SPK) in Indonesia, the JIS Learning Center will be a program designed for children aged 4 to 11 with intellectual disabilities. Plans are in place to expand the program to older students in the coming years.
The JIS Learning Center will offer a safe, nurturing space for children who need more support in their overall development—specialized, expert guidance they may not receive in a conventional classroom. The culminating goal of the program, designed by JIS educators with decades of combined experience in special education, is for students to acquire and confidently use a range of functional academic skills and daily life skills, resulting in a level of independence.
Students will be actively engaged in both individual and collaborative activities in a structured yet stimulating learning environment. The aim is for them to be future-ready, developing into contributing members of their community.
The JIS Learning Center will open its doors in August 2022, in time for the 2022/23 academic year. Registration is currently open.
