Cultivating Excellence: Educators from BINUS SCHOOL in Jakarta Enrich Learning at BINUS SCHOOL Surabaya

With a commitment to fostering innovation and critical thinking, BINUS SCHOOL Surabaya is the pioneer and the only institution in Surabaya offering the S.T.R.E.A.M. programme (Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) across all grades. This innovative educational method provides students with hands-on, personalised learning experiences, ensuring they are well-equipped for the ever-evolving world.

As part of this commitment, BINUS SCHOOL Surabaya is proud to welcome two experienced educators from BINUS SCHOOL in Jakarta: Ms. Juli and Ms. Denok. Their expertise and dedication bring fresh perspectives and enhanced learning experiences to the classroom, further strengthening the S.T.R.E.A.M. initiative.

Meet Ms. Juli: Inspiring Inquiry-Based Learning

With over a decade of experience in international curricula, Ms. Juli is passionate about nurturing young minds through inquiry-based learning. As she joins BINUS SCHOOL Surabaya as a homeroom teacher for primary students, she is eager to keep students motivated and actively engaged in the learning sessions in her classroom. 

“I am committed to delivering inquiring mixed learning in my class and encouraging students to ask and explore their interests,” says Ms Juli.

She also expressed that she was excited to be part of the dynamic environment at BINUS SCHOOL Surabaya since she strongly believed that learning should be a journey of discovery. To that end, she wants to provide a classroom ambience that lives up to curiosity and exploration. 

Her teaching philosophy aligns seamlessly with the S.T.R.E.A.M. approach that our school implements, which emphasises active learning through questioning, hands-on experimentation, and critical thinking. 

With her guidance, students will develop problem-solving skills and a deeper understanding of the subjects they explore, setting them on a path of academic excellence and personal growth.

Meet Ms. Denok: Fostering a Passion for Science

Ms. Denok, a dedicated science educator with 12 years of international teaching experience, is equally passionate about inspiring young learners. Having spent eight years at BINUS SCHOOL in Jakarta, she has honed her ability to make science both engaging and meaningful for students.

“I believe that education is the cornerstone of a brighter future, and I am passionate about fostering a love for science in my students,” says Ms. Denok.

Demonstrating her passion for inspiring young students, she is dedicated to equipping them with the confidence and necessary skills to face real-world challenges. 

Her experience in applied learning and education perfectly complements our school’s S.T.R.E.A.M. program, which encourages students to think like scientists and engineers. Through interactive experiments, project-based learning, and interdisciplinary connections, she aims to cultivate a deeper understanding of scientific concepts while sparking curiosity and creativity.

The Power of S.T.R.E.A.M. at BINUS SCHOOL Surabaya

Unlike traditional STEM or STEAM models, BINUS SCHOOL Surabaya’s S.T.R.E.A.M programme integrates Reading as a fundamental element. This learning model aims to bridge the gap between theoretical learning and real-world application, by nurturing imagination, comprehension, and critical thinking across disciplines.

Moreover, this approach is implemented in all grades, from EY to Secondary, where every activity is designed to cater to each grade’s needs by igniting curiosity toward exploration and enhancing problem-solving skills. 

By integrating Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics in a cohesive framework, the programme encourages students to explore connections between disciplines, fostering a holistic learning experience that prepares them for future challenges.

Strengthening the S.T.R.E.A.M. Vision with Experienced Educators

The expertise of Ms Juli and Ms Denok in inquiry-based education and practical science instruction aligns harmoniously with the S.T.R.E.A.M philosophy and our school’s holistic education approach. 

Their contributions will play a pivotal role in enhancing our school’s reputation as a leader in innovative and all-rounded education while ensuring the students receive essential guidance and mentorship. 

To that end, BINUS SCHOOL Surabaya reinforce excellence in empowering every BINUSIAN to reach their fullest potential.
