Celebrating Joy, Gratitude, and Togetherness this Christmas Season!

Dear ISMILE Families,

As we approach the festive season, I am filled with immense joy and gratitude. It has been a delightful journey through the past semester, and I want to extend my warmest greetings and heartfelt thanks to all our incredible parents.

The past Christmas concert was a true highlight, where we celebrated not only the joy of the season but also the virtues that are fundamental to our ISMILE ethos. The performances beautifully highlighted values such as joyfulness, forgiveness, thankfulness, and more, showcasing the children’s incredible talents and their character development.

Reflecting on the past year, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the collective efforts that have made ISMILE a nurturing and thriving educational haven. Your partnership, support, and commitment to your child’s education have been invaluable.

I also want to take this opportunity to acknowledge and appreciate the dedication of our educators. Their unwavering commitment to providing a supportive and enriching learning environment has played a pivotal role in our students’ growth. Their passion for education and the well-being of each child is truly commendable. As we enter this magical time of the year, I want to express my sincere gratitude to each family in our ISMILE community. Your dedication and involvement make ISMILE the special place it is. May this festive season bring you immense joy, love, and the warmth of togetherness.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable moments. May the New Year bring prosperity, good health, and continued success to everyone. 

With heartfelt wishes,
Ms.HalimSuheppy

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.
