Term 1 (Jul-Sept 2025) Newsletter ISMILE Permata Hijau

Welcome Remarks | Introducing New Teachers | Professional Development Teachers’ Training | Parents’ Orientation Day

Welcome to the Jul-Sep 2025 edition of our Permata Hijau newsletter! We have lots of exciting updates and stories to share this month.​

Dear Parents and Guardians,

A warm welcome to the new academic year at ISMILE! We are excited to begin this journey together, filled with opportunities for growth, joy, and meaningful learning experiences for our children.

We extend a special welcome to the new children and parents joining the ISMILE family for the first time. We’re also delighted to welcome our new teachers, who bring fresh ideas and passion to our growing team and classrooms.

Before school began, our teachers participated in a week of professional development, exploring our school framework, Jolly Phonics, Social Emotional Learning, Montessori, and the Key to Learning modules. These sessions help us grow as educators and enhance the learning experiences we offer your children.

We’re grateful to all the parents who attended the Parents Orientation Day—your presence and support mean so much as we work hand in hand to nurture the best for our children.

We’re pleased to share that Mr. Argel, our current K2 teacher, has been promoted to Vice Coordinator for the Kindergarten level. His dedication and leadership will enrich our students’ learning journey and support our teaching team.

This year, we’re focused on building a supportive environment and fostering strong collaboration with parents. We believe education thrives when teachers and families walk together. Together, we will nurture not only academic growth but also the holistic development of every child—their character, creativity, and confidence.

Thank you for trusting us with your child’s early years. We look forward to a wonderful year ahead, filled with learning, laughter, and shared success.

With warm regards,
Ms. Halim Suheppy
School Coordinator

Nafas To Install Clean Air Zones in 7 iSmile Pre-School Campuses in Indonesia

As pollution in Jakarta and many other Indonesian cities continues to get worse, Nafas has been appointed as the air quality partner for iSmile Family of Schools in Indonesia and is tasked with bringing healthy air quality to 7 campuses in Permata Hijau, Menteng, Kelapa Gading, Pantai Indah Kapuk, P. Antasari (for Alam Atelier & BazGym) and Bandung. As part of the partnership, Nafas will be providing healthy air quality management, analytics & reporting as well as leading educational programs for parents across iSmile, iShine, Alam Atelier and BazGym  to continue to raise awareness about air pollution and public health.

Over 800 students attend iSmile Family of Schools, one of the top pre-schools in Jakarta, Bandung and Bali. The dedication of iSmile administration to providing the optimal learning environment for its students extends to ensuring that healthy indoor air quality levels are always maintained. 

For their schools that already have a Clean Air Zone, Nafas successfully reduced indoor air pollution by over 80% in classrooms at the Kelapa Gading campus in April 2024.  Unhealthy indoor air quality in schools provides a sub-optimal learning environment for children and long term exposure to PM2.5 reduces concentration, focus and can impair cognitive development. Nafas even published an article about this – The Smog Effect: How Air Quality Could Be Affecting Test Scores.

Clean Air Zones by Nafas are a subscription based B2B service which provides companies with air quality diagnostics, healthy air management, data analytics and real-time reporting of indoor pollution levels. The end to end service is the first of its kind in Indonesia, and already serves over 100 clients in offices, schools, small businesses and residential locations.
