Singapore School, Bona Vista (SIS Bona Vista) formerly known as Singapore International School (Indonesia) is an international school in Jakarta, Indonesia. The school caters for students from Preschool to 12th grade (JC2) based on an international curriculum. It is located next to Bona Vista Apartment in South Jakarta and has 7 sister schools in Indonesia.〔 *()〕 ==History== In 1995, leading members of the business community felt the need for a Singapore-style school in Jakarta to cater to children of Singaporeans and other nationalities working in Indonesia. Several initial meetings with Singapore's Ambassador to Indonesia H.E. Edward Lee, fired the enthusiasm needed to start the project, culminating in a meeting in early 1996 with H.E. The Deputy Prime Minister of Singapore, Dr.Tony Tan, who was then the Education Minister. The inspiration drawn from that meeting set the wheels in motion.〔 *("Our Start" ), ''SIS Group of Schools''〕 The team moved quickly to secure the help of their almamater, Raffles Institution, one of Singapore's premier schools. The expertise of one of Singapore's most respected educationist, Eugene Wijeysingha (former Principal of Raffles Institution), was utilized to give the school a good foundation. Soon afterwards the Board of Governors of SIS successfully lobbied for the release of Magendiran also from Raffles Institution to be the first Principal of Singapore International School in 1997. Magendiran is today still with Raffles Institution, Singapore. In 1999, with a small investment, SIS Bona Vista was able to build a one-story school in yet another temporary site. After a year the school constructed its first basketball court and a small playing field. Despite not having many facilities, the high standards of teaching under the principals or another prominent educationist, Ms. Nanda Bandara, former Principal of the premier Singapore Raffles Girl’s School and Haig Girl’s School saw the enrollment increase from 50 to the school’s maximum intake of 200. The school soon had a long waiting list students. This pushed the founders to conduct a search for more permanent premises with facilities matching the top international schools in Jakarta. Located in a quiet neighborhood bordering the elite Pondok lndah real estate, SIS Bona Vista is two minutes from the Outer Ring Road making it accessible from many parts of Jakarta.〔 *("A Permanent site for Singapore International School (Indonesia)" ), ''SIS Group of Schools''〕 The SIS complex has lush, contoured gardens. SIS Bona Vista welcomed its first batch of 25 pupils in January 1997 to its small premises in North Jakarta. The school was set up with the moral support of Singapore's Ministry of Education and financial support from the International Finance Corporation.〔 *("IFC’s Supports Primary Schools in First Indonesian Education Loan" ) ''The International Finance Corporation'', June 23, 2004.〕 With the rising enrolment and also to cater for the international community, the school was moved to a larger premises in January 1999 at Gandaria in South Jakarta. Finally in January 2002, SIS opened the doors to its new building at Bona Vista, South Jakarta with present enrolment reaching 400 students from many nationalities. The founders later started Secondary (Secondary 1-4) and Pre-University Classes.〔 * ("Singapore-Style Schools Catch On In Indonesia" ), ''Straits Times'', April 20, 2007.〕 To comply with the new Ministry of Education regulation (Permendikbud Nomor 31 Tahun 2014),〔 * ("Permendikbud 31/2014, Satuan Pendidikan Kerja Sama Harus Bermitra dengan Lembaga Pendidikan Asing" ), ''Kemendikbud'', May 25, 2014.〕 which also affected all International School in Indonesia〔 * (Under New School Regulation, Quality to Drop Along With the International" ), ''JakartaGlobe'', Dec 1, 2014.〕 – the school has changed its name from "Singapore International School (Indonesia)" to "Singapore School, Bona Vista". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Singapore International School, Indonesia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
