Assalaamu'alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh. Ahlan wa Sahlan. Welcome to Al-Irsyad Satya Islamic School.
Alhamdulillah, the Covid-19 pandemic situation is getting better in our country. Students are gradually returning to school for face-to-face learning which reduces the barriers for in-depth teaching/learning processes and healthy collaborative learning/socialization among students.
Despite the pandemic, we are continuing to improve the quality of the implementation of the International and National curricula. Our students' critical thinking, problem-solving and collaborative skills continue to develop and they are able to apply their knowledge to real-life situations. We are in the process of adding more IGCSE Cambridge subjects as Business Studies, Chemistry, Art, and Global Perspectives in Secondary 4 (Grade 10). Our students will have more choices to focus on their interests and enhance their knowledge.
We ensure that the integration of the National and Cambridge IGCSE and AS/A Level curricula is smooth to guarantee the students to have broad choices to continue their education at both local and international universities by various pathways such as the Cambridge AS/A Level examinations, SNMPTN, SBMPTN and local university entrance examinations.
We are very grateful that the pandemic did not hinder our teaching/learning processes and the care for the students. Many of our alumni have been accepted at overseas and local top universities such as Nanyang Technological University (Singapore), University of New South Wales (Sydney), ITB, UNPAD, UI and UPI. Some of our alumni have provided feedback that the education they experienced at Al Irsyad Satya provided them a solid foundation to succeed at university and also taught them important life and leadership skills.
During the face-to-face learning, the implementation of Islamic values especially through our niche program - ILP (Islamic Leadership Program) alongside a strong emphasis on discipline will effectively ensure that all students have beneficial knowledge, depth in faith, are physically strong and know how to care for their own social-emotional well-being.
We are also preparing to re-start extracurricular activities to facilitate students’ hobbies and interests. These activities improve the soft skills needed for their future.
We pray to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala that the Covid-19 pandemic ends so that all pupils are able to benefit from face-to-face learning. Inshaa Allah, our teachers are trained well to meet the challenges of post-pandemic schooling and are ready to conduct the teaching process in any mode. We will continue to serve our students to the best of our abilities.
Wassalam
Your Sincerely,
Ridwan Siddiq
