Parents Comments Indonesia We were very selective when we chose the right school for our daughters. Finally, we decided to enroll both girls in SLI. My oldest have been in SLI for the past 4 years and my youngest one just enrolled last July 2005. SLI is the school that not only offer academic excellence, but they put strong emphasis on character building and family values. We appreciate the discussion we could have with the teachers from time to time and we can work together as a team in helping our children to becoming responsible learners. Mr. & Mrs. Setiono Parents of Megan and Anjanie What I love about SLI is the teachers’ dedication and the personal care that my son Thomas is getting. Coming from a tough situation in his previous school, my son now is able to cope with the academic challenges and overcome the insecurity he used to have. I am very sure that Thomas will get the guidance to develop to his greatest potential. I am glad I enrolled Thomas in SLI three years ago. He loves his school, teachers and friends. Mr. & Mrs. Ishikawa Parents of Thomas Ishikawa, Grade 3 My son moved to SLI in October , 2005. The reason we moved him was the lack of language application in the previous school. We were concerned that he was not able to use English actively despite the National Plus curriculum he was taught. We are both amazed to see how the environment at SLI helps him communicate in English so fast. The classmates are very supportive and helpful. We feel secured that SLI will help my son grows in academic and build great character. Mr. & Mrs. Yulius Parents of Andreas Andika, Grade 5 Our youngest daughter is naturally very shy. When we enrolled her in SLI, we knew that she will be provided with a very supportive team of educators. In a couple months time, we notice a huge change in her confidence. She is more outspoken and she just grew from strength to strength. Now, not only that she is able to speak English well, she could do a speech in front of a big audience. We are both very grateful. We appreciate the dedication of the teachers and the school to building character and academic excellence. Mr. & Mrs. Martheo Parents of Vinitha, Grade 2 My husband and I looked through different schools before we chose Lentera. Being parents to Sextuplet, we feel that choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions in our life. We need to find a school that will care for our children the way we do. School should be like a second home to our children. They need to feel secure and safe to be able to learn and develop to their best potential. We are happy to watch the way our children are growing and to see what they are learning in school. Not only academic, our children are taught important values and life skills. Mr. & Mrs. Tjokrosetio Parents of Grade 1 Douglas, Dominique, Deidree, Danny, Dylon We have had so many challenges dealing with our oldest son. The environment he was in before was no conducive for him. He was not very motivated to learn or go to school. When we found out about Lentera, we send our son to school and let me make the decision. Interestingly, he said he likes the school and today, we are pleased to see his progress. He is making more effort to study. We appreciate the personal attention they are paying on our son. We can see him progress in his responsibility and motivation to study. Parents of a Middle School student My children love to learn and study in English. We looked through several options before we chose SLI. We see several strengths in SLI: personal attention and approach to help the students learn, a beautiful library that students love and I saw children laying comfortably enjoying reading, the students we met possess great attitude, manner and confidence. It is very rare to see children in general are confident enough to initiate conversation with adult; I saw that in SLI, very impressive indeed. I can definitely see that SLI has a healthy yet strong positive culture. I am glad we are introduced to SLI. My daughter developed her confidence over a few months being in SLI. She was able to present her ideas in public. My son loves going to school everyday. He loves playing football with his friends in the morning. I also appreciate the community we have amongst the parents. This is a school where I see great communication amongst parents and teachers. Mr. & Mrs Walandouw Parents of Celinda and Rayner
