Kindergarten

Grade: Nursery (TPS), PK (PS), K1(MS), K2 (GS); from age 2 to 5 years old

The French School Jakarta kindergarten follows a precise teaching structure based on the official curriculum. Our main goal is to encourage children to learn, grow, and develop their personalities at school. Children learn to socialize and develop their autonomy, their knowledge, and their skills while studying French and English.

Learning, growing and succeeding together

Completely renovated, the nursery school has 6 classrooms. Children evolve in a bright and functional space. All the furniture has been replaced in order to meet the teachers’ ways of teaching.

All kindergarten students follow the French national curriculum, which focuses on the following areas:

1. Mobilize language in all its dimensions
2. Act, express themselves, understand through physical activity
3. Act, express themselves, understand through artistic activities
4. Construct the first tools for structuring thought
5. Explore the world

The language of instruction at the FSJ is French. But as a multicultural school, we adopt a bilingual (English) curriculum starting in kindergarten.

In PS and MS, half of the activities are in English depending on the child’s language skills. In GS, the emphasis is put on the French language, with students preparing for CP. We also offer support classes in English and French, where applicable. Each kindergarten class has a teacher and an assistant for a maximum of 20 children.

Developing bilingual skills

All classes are composed of students from the Reinforced English section and students from the Reinforced French section. In order to develop bilingual skills in our students, they come together many times a week for the language pathways:

  • Students in the Reinforced English section meet up with their Anglo-Saxon teacher
  • Students of the Reinforced French section get together with the French teacher of the class.

This system allows for greater diversity in our nursery school, while respecting the personalized language paths chosen by families. The students thus benefit from tailor-made language teaching according to their skills.
