TK ABATA

Abata English Speaking Moslem Kindergarten (ABATA) is one of the leading kindergartens which uses English for communication as well as a teaching medium and applies Islamic values and methods in day-to-day life. ABATA is specifically designed as a school for 1 to 6 years old children. Established in August 2007 with only 5 active students, currently, we have as many as 120 students studying in four grades. So far, alhamdulillah, we have successfully graduated over 90 students. Most of our graduates are continuing their study in leading and high-quality primary schools in Jakarta namely Madina, Global Sevilla, Al-Azhar, Global Islamic School, Tugasku, SD Labschool, etc.

We believed that children need to be enriched as early as possible with spiritual education, embracing Islamic principles and beliefs to strengthen them and provide a solid foundation in their character building. We are using age-appropriate activities that enable the children to learn according to their own pace and need in a small group class. ABATA uses a national plus curriculum basis. Our curriculum is designed according to our vision, to educate children to become creative intelligent, and independent individuals with Islamic morality.

Students are taught using the phonics reading method. Islamic values, methods, principles are applied and taught to the students intensively in the class in an interactive and interesting way. We have two dedicated and experienced religion teachers to carry out that task. A range of facilities is provided to support students: outdoor and indoor playground, swimming pool for water play, multimedia computer in each class, daily healthy snacks, teaching materials, etc.

Islamic activities are also regularly held. Teachers every year set up the school for Manasik Hajj to facilitate the students to experience the amazing haj pilgrimage. On every Friday, because students are too young for Friday Prayer, we request the students to perform Shalat Dhuha, lead by one of our male staff. Giving charity is one thing that wasn't missed: both parents and students are asked to donate for Zakat Fitrah, Qurban, natural disaster victims, Zakat Maal for the orphanage, Ifthar on the road, etc.
