From Jakarta to Paris: The Journey of a Jakarta Academics Alumna Now Studying at Université Paris-Saclay

Every student’s journey looks different. For some, having the flexibility to learn in a way that suits them best can open doors to opportunities around the world.

At Jakarta Academics, education is designed with that flexibility in mind. As an international homeschooling hybrid school using the Pearson Edexcel curriculum, Jakarta Academics allows students to choose whether they want to attend classes onsite or online, while still following internationally recognised academic standards

For Cherienoel Yazzana Pada, this flexible learning environment became an important part of her academic journey. Today, she is continuing her studies in Economics at Paris-Saclay University, one of Europe’s leading universities.

Learning in a Way That Fits the Student

At Jakarta Academics, students are not limited to one way of learning. Some prefer attending classes onsite, while others join online. This flexibility allows students to choose the learning environment where they feel most comfortable and productive.

We welcome students from Grade 1 to Grade 12, offering globally recognised qualifications such as IGCSE and A-Level. These programs are widely accepted by universities around the world and help students build a strong academic foundation for their future studies.

Another key difference is the approach to time. Instead of following a rigid schedule, students are given more flexibility in how they manage their learning. This encourages them to develop independence, discipline and responsibility. These are skills that are especially valuable when preparing for university life.

Taking the Next Step Abroad

After completing her A-Level studies at Jakarta Academics, Cherienoel decided to continue her academic journey overseas. With the strong foundation she had built during her studies, she successfully gained admission to Paris-Saclay University, where she is now pursuing a degree in Economics.

Located just outside Paris, France, Paris-Saclay is widely recognised as one of the world’s leading research universities. In the Academic Ranking of World Universities (Shanghai Ranking), the university has been ranked 13th in the world, making it the highest-ranked university in France and continental Europe.  

The university is known for bringing together several prestigious institutions and research centres, which create a dynamic academic environment that attracts students and researchers from across the globe. For students interested in fields such as economics, mathematics, and science, Paris-Saclay offers an intellectually stimulating environment where innovation and collaboration and collaboration thrive.

For Cherienoel, continuing her studies there marks an exciting new chapter, one that began with the academic preparation and flexibility she experienced during her time at Jakarta Academics.

A Journey That Opens Global Opportunities

Stories like this highlight what the right learning environment can make possible. At Jakarta Academics, education is designed to support students not only academically, but also in developing independence, confidence, and a global mindset.

Homeschooling in Jakarta: How Students Stay Social, Active, and Connected

When parents begin exploring homeschooling in Jakarta, one question often comes to mind:

“Will my child still have opportunities to socialise?”

It’s a completely understandable concern. School is not just where children study – it’s also a place where children build friendships, learn to collaborate with others, and develop confidence through everyday interactions.

At Jakarta Academics, we believe homeschooling should never feel isolating. That’s why our program combines flexible academic learning with regular enrichment activities, allowing students to stay socially connected while benefiting from a personalised education.

In other words, students enjoy the flexibility of homeschooling without missing out on the social side of learning.

A Space for Students to Connect

A common misconception about homeschooling is that students spend most of their time learning alone. In reality, when designed well, homeschooling can offer many opportunities for social interaction.

At Jakarta Academics, our enrichment program allows students to meet regularly, spend time together, and build friendships outside their academic sessions.

These activities create a relaxed and welcoming environment where students can:

  • interact with peers
  • develop teamwork and communication skills
  • form friendships beyond the classroom

For many students, these moments become some of the most enjoyable parts of their learning journey.

Staying Active Through Sports

Physical activities are an important part of both social development and overall wellbeing. Through our enrichment program, students regularly participate in sports together, including:

  • Tennis
  • Futsal
  • Basketball
  • Badminton

Sports naturally encourage teamwork, communication, and confidence. Whether students are playing competitively or simply enjoying the game together, these activities provide a space where friendships will grow naturally.

Sometimes, the best connections happen off the screen and on the court.

Learning Practical Life Skills: Financial Literacy

Education should also prepare students for life beyond school. That’s why our enrichment program includes sessions on financial literacy.

Students are introduced to essential concepts such as:

  • understanding money and spending habits ● basic saving and budgeting principles
  • developing responsible financial behaviour

These lessons help students begin building the awareness and independence they will need as they move toward university and adulthood.

A Balanced Homeschooling Experience

At Jakarta Academics, homeschooling is designed to support both academic success and personal development.

Students benefit from flexible learning while still having opportunities to:

  • socialise with peers
  • stay physically active
  • develop real-world skills

This balanced approach ensures students are not only prepared for university, but also growing into confident, well-rounded individuals.

 

For parents exploring homeschooling options in Jakarta, this means knowing that their child is part of a learning environment where they can study, connect, and grow together.

 

Speak With Our Admission Team

Every child’s learning journey is different, and choosing the right education pathway is an important decision.

If you would like to learn more about homeschooling at Jakarta Academics, our Admission Team would be happy to guide you through the program, enrichment activities, and university preparation pathways.

Anak Kurang Mendapat Perhatian di Kelas Besar? Microschool Kini Hadir di Bali

Pernah merasa anak kita sebenarnya pintar, tapi seperti tenggelam di kelas yang terlalu ramai? Guru baik, fasilitas oke, tapi karena muridnya banyak, perhatian jadi terbagi. Akhirnya anak yang butuh support lebih malah jadi kurang terpantau.

Kalau ini yang sedang Anda rasakan, mungkin sudah waktunya kenal lebih dekat dengan konsep microschool  dan kabar baiknya, sekarang sudah hadir di Bali.

Kenapa Kelas Besar Jadi Tantangan?

Di sekolah konvensional, satu kelas bisa diisi 25–35 siswa. Artinya, waktu guru untuk setiap anak sangat terbatas.

Beberapa hal yang sering terjadi:

  • Anak yang pemalu jadi makin diam
  • Anak yang cepat belajar jadi kurang tertantang
  • Anak yang butuh waktu lebih jadi tertinggal
  • Guru fokus ke kurikulum, bukan kebutuhan personal

Bukan berarti sistem lama salah. Tapi faktanya, setiap anak itu beda. Gaya belajar beda. Kecepatan paham beda. Minatnya pun beda.

Microschool: Sistem Belajar dengan Perhatian Lebih Personal

Microschool hadir dengan konsep kelas kecil (small group), biasanya hanya beberapa siswa dalam satu kelas. Dengan jumlah murid yang lebih sedikit, guru bisa benar-benar mengenal setiap anak.

Di JA School Bali, pendekatan ini dibuat supaya:

  • Anak lebih percaya diri untuk bertanya
  • Guru bisa menyesuaikan cara mengajar sesuai karakter siswa
  • Pembelajaran lebih interaktif, bukan hanya duduk dan mendengar
  • Fokus bukan cuma nilai, tapi juga perkembangan karakter dan skill

Jadi bukan sekadar sekolah kecil, tapi sistem belajar yang lebih dekat dan lebih peduli.

Cocok untuk Anak Seperti Apa?

Microschool biasanya sangat cocok untuk:

  • Anak yang butuh perhatian lebih
  • Anak yang cepat bosan di kelas besar
  • Anak yang punya minat khusus dan ingin dikembangkan
  • Orang tua yang ingin lebih terlibat dalam perkembangan anak

Karena suasananya lebih nyaman dan tidak terlalu formal, anak biasanya lebih enjoy. Belajar jadi terasa seperti eksplorasi, bukan tekanan.

Kenapa Microschool Jadi Tren di Bali?

is IGCSE difficult

Bali punya komunitas yang unik banyak keluarga lokal maupun internasional yang mencari sistem pendidikan fleksibel, global, dan tetap personal.

Orang tua sekarang tidak hanya bertanya: “Nilainya berapa?”

Tapi juga: “Anak saya berkembang tidak? Dia percaya diri tidak? Dia siap menghadapi masa depan tidak?”

Microschool menjawab pertanyaan itu dengan pendekatan yang lebih relevan dengan kebutuhan zaman sekarang.

Belajar Lebih Dekat, Berkembang Lebih Cepat

Bayangkan anak Anda berada di lingkungan belajar yang:

  • Gurunya benar-benar mengenal karakternya
  • Punya ruang untuk bertanya dan berekspresi
  • Tidak merasa tertinggal atau terlalu tertahan
  • Didorong untuk berpikir kritis dan mandiri

Itulah tujuan microschool hadir di Bali.

Karena pada akhirnya, pendidikan bukan soal siapa yang paling cepat selesai materi. Tapi siapa yang paling siap menghadapi masa depan.

Kalau Anda ingin tahu apakah sistem microschool cocok untuk anak Anda, mungkin sekarang waktu yang tepat untuk cari tahu lebih jauh.

Karena setiap anak berhak mendapatkan perhatian yang cukup — bukan hanya tempat duduk di kelas.
