As once said: walk the talk, our MYP students have implemented one values of the IB Learner Profile, caring, into a real action. They engaged in a community service at the elderly care home in Yogyakarta. As much as they cared for the elderly women, they also develop essential life skills such as leadership, collaboration, and reflective thinking, sense of responsibility.

“Service as Action remains a vital pillar of the IB MYP program, offering students authentic opportunities to apply their learning beyond the classroom,” as said by Ibu Candra, the MYP Coordinator.

YIS Math Competition is an annual event that is always waited by many of the YIS students. Students are genuinely happy when it come to learning Maths, let alone to collect score during the competition.

At YIS, Math is not scary, it is applicable and fun to learn. Mathematics is indeed a field for creative thinking!

We are delighted to share that Yogyakarta Independent School has succesfully completed the National Accreditation process last week. It was a very rewarding and meaningful series of meetings with the acessor, held on the following dates: the October 22-23 for the Junior High School, October 27-28 for the Senior High School, October 29-30 for the Primary School, and November 5-6 for the Kindergarten. We would like to express our heartfelt appreciation for the wonderful students and parents for their valuable testimonials and generous support. We truly could not have done it without their continued commitment to our school and community.

Adventure time!

YIS MYP & DP students wrapped up the school year with an epic outbound trip full of bonding, nature, and next-level memories!

This wasn’t just fun in the sun; it was all about growing together, building friendships, and celebrating the wins (big and small). From teamwork and leadership to real-world problem solving, our students leveled up their life skills in the great outdoors!

Thank you, Desa Wisata Pulesari, for your hospitality!

Last Friday’s field trips took us on a journey from the Seken Living furniture factory to Suraloka Interactive Zoo where we met both artisans and animals!

Students in Grades 3 to 6 had an enriching experience learning about the craftsmanship behind furniture made from recycled teak wood. They gained valuable insights into recycling, environmental sustainability, and entrepreneurship. A big thank you to Ibu Vera and the Seken Living team for warmly sharing your knowledge with us!

The adventure didn’t stop there. We continued to Suraloka Interactive Zoo, where our Preschool to Grade 2 students had visited earlier that morning. From feeding parrots to observing binturongs, students had a blast interacting with the animals and are already excited for the next field trip!
