ABOUT US
The buildings are architecturally designed and equipped with facilities to meet the Montessori philosophy. The specially prescribed Montessori equipment is imported exclusively from the official worldwide manufacturer, Neinhuis Montessori, Holland.
Montessori children are adaptable. Since they have been encouraged to make decisions from an early age, these children are problem-solvers who can make choices and manage their time well. They have also been encouraged to exchange ideas and to discuss their work freely with others.
Good communication skills ease the way in new settings.
Montessori programs, based on self-directed, non-competitive activities, help children develop good self-images and the confidence to face challenges and change.
The first Montessori school established in Jakarta began in 1981 as a play group under the name of Srikandi Montessori School and was formed under the guidance of Gloria Kalff. Due to the ever-increasing appeal for Montessori education, the school evolved into a complete primary program. We are currently serving children from Toddlers (16 months) through to Prep-1/Kindergarten (6 years). The school changed its name to Jayakarta Montessori School in 1995.
