Metta Elementary School is a national school that implements the Kurikulum Merdeka Pembelajaran Mendalam (Deep Learning) under the Indonesian Ministry of Education, complemented by Cambridge programs for our core subjects.
Our students are equipped with Mandarin communication skills, both written and spoken, alongside fluency in English and Bahasa Indonesia.
At Metta School, we emphasize a balanced combination of academic excellence and character development, the “double helix” of education. We believe that high academic achievement and the cultivation of virtues should grow hand in hand. More than simply schooling, Metta School provides holistic education where teachers serve as coaches, guiding each student to become the best version of themselves, recognizing that every child is unique.
We maintain a low student–teacher ratio, enabling teachers and students to work together within a close-knit community. This intimate learning environment allows teachers to build meaningful relationships with students, establish shared values and practices, and foster a caring culture where individuals truly know and support one another.

High Quality Instruction & Broad-based Assessment
We emphasize a balanced approach to instruction, combining structured direct teaching with student-centered learning strategies such as project-based learning and cooperative learning.
To ensure high-quality instruction, teachers assess student learning comprehensively through both traditional assessments aligned with Cambridge Checkpoint standards and authentic performance-based assessments.
Formal Assessment
Cambridge Primary Checkpoint
The assessment is exclusively available to schools offering Cambridge Primary program. The tests are marked by Cambridge and provide schools with an international benchmark for learner performance. Metta School administers the Checkpoint assessment at the end of Grade 6. Cambridge Primary Checkpoint is designed to support student learning by providing comprehensive feedback on strengths and areas for improvement in English, Mathematics, and Science.
Each student receives a Statement of Achievement and a detailed diagnostic feedback report, giving schools valuable insights and providing parents with greater confidence in their child’s academic progress.
Assessments Regulated by Indonesian MOE
At the end of Grade 6, students also undertake assessments regulated by the Indonesian Ministry of Education. As a result, graduates receive not only internationally recognized diagnostic feedback, but also a nationally recognized certificate.
Extracurricular Activities
Our extracurricular activities are designed to provide students with a productive balance to academic study, while developing skills beyond the classroom and encouraging them to explore existing and new interests.
These activities also reinforce classroom learning by giving students opportunities to apply their academic skills in real-world contexts, contributing to a well-rounded educational experience.
