JAKARTA, Indonesia, July 15, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Providing authentic, meaningful learning experiences is a priority for ACG

School Jakarta(https://jakarta.acgedu.com/) as they help prepare their students

for the future. While inspiring students to become creative, innovative

problem-solvers with an entrepreneurial skillset, the school's holistic

philosophy also encompasses the importance of compassion, collaboration, and

the willingness to affect change in both local and global communities.

ACG School Jakarta's dual curricula, the Cambridge International and

International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes reflect this vision, encouraging

students to design their own projects and initiatives to provide real-life

insights and understanding. One of the core components of ACG's IB Diploma

Programme is Creativity, Activity, and Service (CAS), which emphasises the

significance of learning beyond the classroom setting.

CAS projects offer unparalleled opportunities for students to develop teamwork,

integrity, resilience, and commitment values, while building confidence,

self-belief, and leadership abilities.

"I believe ACG Jakarta fosters a culture of care and independence that

encourages students to take action and contribute to society in the best ways

possible," says twelfth grade prefect Lina Hutchinson who played a pivotal role

in the school's recent COVID-19 relief fundraising campaign.

Lina worked alongside her fellow prefects and Student Council members to raise

17 million IDR in donations. This was used to purchase protective equipment and

supplies for medical centres, as well as food and resources for families in

need.

"Though the values we learn at school such as compassion and integrity were

rooted in our desire to support these causes, we were mainly motivated to help

after seeing the realities of the local community and how COVID-19 was

affecting everybody's daily lives.

"While we would not be able to provide donations and resources for everyone, we

had to take on the mindset that we were doing our part to help. We had to be

hopeful that everyone doing their own part, no matter how big or small, could

affect many people for the better," adds Lina.

Alongside several other philanthropic initiatives undertaken during the

coronavirus pandemic, many additional student-directed programmes are already

firmly in place at the school. Operated entirely by secondary students, these

range from internal media projects including the ACG Radio Station, STUCO

Student Council Instagram and ACG Times digital magazine, to environmental and

talent nurturing initiatives like the Eco-Warriors, KarangKita and Café Society.
