Our 8 Pillars of Learning are...
Foster a Love for Learning:
We strive to create a dynamic and inspiring learning environment where students develop a lifelong love for exploring, questioning, and discovering. Through hands-on experiences, imaginative play, and guided exploration, we aim to ignite the spark of curiosity in every student.
Cultivate Kindness and Respect:
We aspire to instill in our students the values of kindness, empathy, and respect for themselves, others, and the natural world. Through meaningful interactions and a strong sense of community, we aim to nurture compassionate individuals who understand the importance of treating others as they want to be treated.
Encourage Responsibility and Independence:
We believe in empowering students to become responsible and independent individuals. Our approach encourages self-directed learning, decision-making, and problem-solving, fostering a sense of agency and confidence in each student.
Celebrate Multicultural Understanding:
We celebrate the richness of our island’s diversity and promote multicultural understanding through teaching and learning about the many cultures represented in our community and beyond. Our curriculum highlights and lifts up cultures from around the world, fostering open-mindedness and an appreciation for different perspectives.
Promote Learning and Curiosity:
We are committed to providing a student-centered curriculum that is engaging and supportive of individual learning styles. Our aim is to provide a holistic approach to education, whilst equipping the children with foundational skills, and nurturing their innate curiosity and critical thinking abilities.
Embrace Environmental Stewardship:
We are committed to instilling a deep sense of environmental responsibility in our students. Through nature-based learning experiences, outdoor exploration, and an eco-conscious approach, we aim to foster a deep respect for the natural world which leads to students becoming champions for environmental stewardship.
Emphasize Play-Based Learning:
We envision a school where play is recognized as a fundamental component of childhood development and a gateway to discovery and creativity. Through imaginative play and creative exploration, students will develop essential life skills, problem-solving abilities, and discover a joyous approach to learning.
Value Community Building:
Bumi Kecil values a strong sense of community. We are dedicated to forging deep connections within our local community by actively engaging in projects and initiatives that benefit our neighbors, teaching our students the value of empathy, compassion, and social responsibility from an early age.

Family Testimonials

Bumi Kecil school is like a big family where everyone knows each other. The teachers are incredibly friendly and genuinely care about the kids. What I really love is that it's not just about academics; they really focus on the whole child.
As for activities, they've got it all covered - from sports to arts and crafts. Every day, my daughter comes home with some funky little project she's made, and seeing her so proud of it is just priceless.
What really sets this school apart is their communication with parents. Every Friday, they print a colorful newspaper filled with updates about everything happening at school. It's become one of our favorite family activities to sit down together and read through the newspaper, discovering what my daughter has been up to all week. It's such a wonderful way to stay connected and involved in her school life.
It's amazing how much my daughter loves her school, especially considering my own school years were pretty stressful. Seeing her thrive and enjoy every moment at Bumi Kecil is such a relief and a joy. It's like she's in a completely different world, and I couldn't be happier for her.
At Bumi Kecil, we nurture big dreams, curious minds, and kind hearts in a one-of-a-kind setting. Join us in creating a childhood filled with adventures and a love for learning.
