Marigold Community Learning

British

We do not believe that learning environments should be competitive and as such we do not grade students. Teachers do make corrections and provide alternative approaches to student workbooks and other class work, however the feedback is given individually and without comparison to other students. Children are assessed by teachers throughout the school year through a number of methods.

We do not have such assessments to share as we do not collect this information collectively. Each student is assessed based on their skill levels and readiness to learn.

All students have weekly Bahasa Indonesia classes that incorporate fun real world learning using pretend play. Examples include recreating a local market at school, envisioning a visit to a farm visit to see animals, fruits and vegetables, etc.

Each child with additional support needs is on a case by case basis. We will not enroll a student at our school that we cannot fully support on their learning journey with our trained teachers and staff.

We has limited availability to support children with additional learning needs. As our classes are small and we are not designed as a special learning facility, our ability to support children is case by case and determined by our expertise and current class dynamics. We do not currently have teachers trained to support dyslexic children learning literacy.

Our teaching team offers english classes for all levels of english speakers. We have had several students come to Marigold with minimal english skills who begin to thrive upon entering our program due through planning with our team prior to enrollment for english classes and continuing upon arrival in Bali. Additionally, we use project based learning which provides contextual learning, further aiding non-english speakers to grasp language fundamentals.

Gates open at 8:30am to allow time for the children to play and settle at school prior to class beginning at 9am. – Classes for children aged 3-4 finish at 2:45 or at 12:45pm if they are doing a half day. Classes for children aged 5-12 finish at 2:45pm

We outsource our lunch program and both snacks and lunches can be delivered to school daily.

The company we outsource our lunch program to has created a special menu for Marigold and they are very willing to adjust menu items to accommodate various special requests.
