Our Programs

Monday December 14th 2020

 

To support our learning, Al Azhar 55 Yogyakarta has programs to guide students’ improvements based on students level, such as:

1. Teachers’ TKT Program

All teachers in Al Azhar 55 present their best and set the high standard to teach in their field.. Native teachers are legal based on Surat Ijin Mempekerjakan Tenaga Asing/Working Permit License. Local teachers are certified with TKT (Teacher Knowledge Test) and speak english actively in all school activities.

2. Hands-On Learning

When students are given the ability to learn in practical hands-on environment, they are very often engaged and stimulated. It is our hope to create a fun learning environment, stick the experiences of learning in their brain and at the same time better equipping students to face challenges that await them.

3. SLC (Student Led Conference)

At the end of term 1 and 3, students are asked to assess their own learning and understanding of the ideas and concepts taught throughout that term. This encourages students to be more responsible with their learning and help to shape child’s attitude, effort, success and public speaking level.

4. Reading Log

It is a journal where students can record their activity in reading. It is a great way to summarize what a student reads. Everyday, students are encouraged to borrow a book from library based on their reading level and bring it home to read with their parents. then, students will retell what the book is about to their homeroom teacher.

5. Global Perspective

Al Azhar 55 implements Global Perspective as a subject to learn. It is aimed to help students laying the foundations for lifelong learning i.e.; curiosity about the world and understanding their personal and local context, as well having a global awareness.

6. Numeracy Log

Numeracy is important for individuals to develop logical thinking and reasoning strategies in their everyday activities. Numeracy log applies to treat student in solving their problems and making sense of numbers, time, pattern and shapes.

7. Life Skills Project

Every week, students will get life skills project that have to be done at home such as; making cup of tea for parents, washing the dishes and shoes, folding their clothes, watering plants etc. These all will help students develop a sense of self discipline, responsibility, and independent for their future life.


Testimony

Prof. Dra. Hj. Suwarsih Madya, M.A., Ph.D.

 

Amidst the globalized situation which poses challenges of which one is a possible threat to identity, yet provides ample opportunities to excel for those who possess the prerequisites, we need to equip our children as the continuing generation with necessary competencies—affective, cognitive, psychomotor and interactive. In other words, we need to help them grow and develop into total persons and this can be achieved through the whole-child development approach which ensures the development of all potentials.  In addition to this is the need for developing some competence which enables the children to communicate    globally. All of this will ensure that the children will develop their citizenships both at the national and global levels. How can this ideal development be realized?

If you want to find out about how efforts are made to develop children’s whole potentials, you can come to SD Islam Al Azhar 55 Yogyakarta. Here you can see how the four-year old school has grown fast due to the stakeholders’ trust to send their children to study here. With only 54 children in the first year, this school now has 185 students. These students are educated to respect and preserve the social-cultural environment by learning the local language (Javanese, including the script) and arts (dance). Simultaneously, they certainly learn the national language (Bahasa Indonesia) and national content, which is unquestionable since it is compulsory, and English, which has now become a global lingua franca; thus, a prerequisite for successful global communication.  More importantly, children in this school also learn to practise their religion consistently. So, in this school children’s identity is rooted in the local culture, with nationalism and global awareness being inherently developed together with reliogiosity.

Does the whole-child development approach at SD Islam Al Azhar still give room for children to excel? In my belief, when all their potentials are developed, children will have a greater chance to excel and I can see the truth in my belief in this primary school. In the last two years, the students have made great achievements in various competitions held at the local and national levels–gold medals in English, math and science competitions (national), silver and bronze medals in IT competitions (national), silver and bronze medals at colouring and swimming competitions (local) to mention some.

In conclusion, SD Islam Al Azhar has given evidence of the right efforts of true education to develop both intelligence and character.

Testimoni Sebagai Orang tua menyekolahkan anak Di Al-Azhar 55

Sudah menjadi kewajiban bagi orang tua untuk memberikan pendidikan yang terbaik bagi putra putrinya. Tantangan untuk mendidik anak di Era Global dan Digital pun semakin besar, kita tidak bisa lagi membendung segala perubahan yang begitu cepat terjadi, dan harus mempersiapkan anak-anak supaya bisa survive dan sholeh/sholehah tentunya. Saat ini dunia bagaikan kampung, dimana tidak ada batas-batas untuk melakukan transaksi kehidupan, untuk itu anak harus bisa berkomunikasi dengan bahasa universal sebagai modal utama. Disamping itu, pendidikah Ahlak dan Aqidah harus diberikan secara dini sebagai dasar anak dalam menghadapi gejolak gelombang kehidupan. Atas pertimbangan tersebutlah, kami selaku orang tua memilih untuk menyekolahkan putra kami tercinta Hikari di Sekolah Islam, yang menggunakan dua bahasa pengantar, yaitu Al-Azhar 55.
