Our vision is to cultivate critical thinking, innovation, and social responsibility to our students, equipping them to make meaningful contribution to society through our fully integrated 21st century skills.
PLA offers the best of both worlds, incorporating a focus on
21st-century learning approaches, alongside an emphasis on traditional learning methods to
provide a solid academic foundation.
• The 21st-century learning component
places a strong emphasis on developing critical thinking, creativity, collaboration,
communication and digital literacy skills.
• Students engage in hands-on,
project-based learning experiences that encourage exploration, experimentation and
problem-solving
• Collaborative projects, interdisciplinary connections and
real-world applications are integrated into the curriculum, to provide meaningful context
and relevance to their learning experiences.
• Each student is matched with a mentor based on their interests,
aspirations and personality. This personalized approach ensures that students feel
comfortable and supported by their mentor, fostering a strong and meaningful connection from
the outset.
• Mentors work closely with their students to identify short-term and
long-term goals, both academic and personal. Through reflective discussions and goal-setting
exercises, students gain clarity about their goals and develop actionable plans to achieve
them.
• Mentors provide opportunities for students to explore and develop key character
traits such as integrity, resilience, empathy and leadership
• They play a crucial role
in building students' confidence and self-esteem by providing positive reinforcement,
constructive feedback and encouragement.
• They help students develop essential life
skills such as communication, problem-solving, decision-making, and emotional
intelligence.
• Mentors serve as a bridge between the school and parents in terms of
proper communication about the students’ needs at school
• The examination system primarily assesses students' proficiency
in core subjects including English Language, Chinese Language, Mathematics, Science and
Bahasa Indonesia.
• Includes regular quizzes, class tests, and mid-year assessments,
leading up to the final IPSL Examination, however, these assessments do not always include
pen and paper and focused more on the students’ performance on fostering the four C’s
•
The examination system employs a progressive assessment approach where students are assessed
periodically throughout the academic year to track their progress and identify areas for
improvement.
• STEAM principles are integrated in each subject’s lesson, with
the essential skills needed for success in the 21st century.
• Through hands-on
exploration, collaborative projects and interdisciplinary connections, students are immersed
in a learning environment that fosters creativity, critical thinking, communication, and
collaboration.
• From robotics to design thinking and artistic expression, our curriculum
prepares students to thrive in an ever-evolving world
• We foster a strong partnership between home and school to
support student success through timely communication using the Storypark platform to make
sure parents are informed about the students’ progress
• Parents are given volunteer
activities in classrooms, school events, and extracurricular activities to enhance their
children’s learning experience.
• An active parent support team providing input and
feedback on school policies, programs, and initiatives. Their perspectives help shape
decisions that impact the entire school community.
PLA stands in the belief that linguistic diversity enhances the educational experience. The school creates a foundation for academic success and global citizenship from the earliest stages of education, exposing them to three languages on a daily basis: English, Mandarin, and Bahasa Indonesia
Harmonizing the two, the fusion marries dynamic Western methodologies, fostering critical thinking and technological fluency, with enduring Eastern principles like discipline and respect. Our students benefit from an innovative curriculum that prepares them for a globally competitive world, while instilling traditional values.
