Jenaplan is a teaching approach centered around the concept of community life, where schools are not isolated institutions. This approach prefers a multi age group and they value differences among children.
In Project Based Learning students will gain knowledge and skills by working for a certain period of time to investigate and respond to an authentic, engaging, and complex problem, question, and challenge.
Instead of the traditional arrangement of school subjects, students of the same age in classrooms, the Jenaplan School is characterized by mixed-age learner groups.
One of our teaching approaches is through Self-Progress Learning (SPL). Where students are able to learn based on their own pace and without any pressure to catch up with others.
Coding is one of our subjects at Taruwara Primary, where students learn the basics of programming in a fun and engaging way.

Finn Luas’s A Mother - Netherlands
“I choose Taruwara because my son was in Rumah Kecil before, which we loved for him. It was natural to continue to Taruwara Primary. I like the small-scale and self-directed learning that really matches with my son, Finn. He is intrinsically motivated and the school feeds right into that. Finn likes everything about Taruwara, the teachers are nice and all the subjects are interesting.”

Rayner Caughey’s Parents - New Zealand
“Rayner went to Rumah Kecil before and we always like it. It’s time for Rayner to join primary school and Taruwara was our first choice. I like it because it has a lot of outdoor space for the children to play. It’s a small school with a high student-teacher ratio. I like the community and family spirit. It’s a beautiful environment and school building. I like that the kids are feed healthy plant-based food. I like the nature focus and there’s animals. I really like that there are sports, coding, and art classes as well as the usual studies.”

Adzka Ahsanul Khalqi F’s Parents - Indonesia
“We choose Taruwara because Adzka went to Rumah Kecil before, so it was easier for him to adapt. His development was also very good at kindergarten, so we thought about why we don’t just try at Taruwara Primary which is under the same management. We like the teachers, how they teach the children and also the education system. Adzka is starting to be able to say “No” or stand up for himself and his English is also developing.”

Olivier and Loic’s A Mother - France & Indonesia
“We accidentally saw a tree house while surveying for a school. I choose Taruwara because of their tree house, huge playground and the small community of the students. I like the concept, so the teacher can focus on the students. Both of my sons love the teachers, the school environment, and the classroom facilities.”

Guinea Pig Project
Children love animals, and for good reason having pets at school has been dreamed of by our students. Our "pet project" started with creating an egg incubator, so that we can hatch our own chick. But unfortunately, it failed after three trials. Haven't given up yet, we discussed and decided to continue the project by adopting another pet. It wasn't an easy decision to decide which pet we would like to adopt. Finally, we agreed to adopt a guinea pig and our guinea pig project began. To support our project, we need to prepare everything thoroughly. We learnt many theories about guinea pigs in each class. In science, we learnt that guinea pigs are rodent animals. We got to know their natural predators and foods. It helps us to take care of them. Inviting guinea pig owners is also on our list. We would like the experts to share their real experiences in order to take care of guinea pigs. We also got a chance to ask some questions regarding guinea pigs. As mentioned before, we learnt many things in order to support our project. We learnt measurement in math so that we can design and create the best guinea pig cage. In order to take care of our guinea pig, we set up a duty schedule and took turns giving food and cleaning the cage. A mind map helps to visually organize all the records of ideas about a project. It also helps us to track back all information or steps to enhance creative problem-solving skills. In order to conduct our guinea pig project, the students record every piece of information they have learnt on mind mapping. They also add more information they wish to enrich. It also shows the steps and goals of their project. Documentation: Q&A with guinea pig expert. All kids were very passionate to know more about guinea pig before they can adopt them They were learning about guinea pig and how to take care of them The first time they met a guinea pig.

First Ever “Output Day” Event!
The other day we successfully completed our first attempt to hold an Output Day. Output Day, as the name suggests, is a day to output what students have been inputting. We have been preparing our presentations and bulletin boards for that day. The primary class students with their teacher prepare 3 booths. They are assigned to each booth with their teacher. There was a booth for science and thematic, English with art, and mathematics. The children in each booth are tasked with presenting their projects and things they have learned so far at Taruwara. The teachers are just as nervous as their students, some of them feeling very tense before the event starts. However, they manage to overcome their tension and nervousness to welcome all the parents and kindergarten children. Some of the students who were not very good at public speaking gained her confidence by seeing her teachers, mothers, and younger students who were trying their best. Her teammates were also motivated by her efforts. After the three-hour event, the children and teachers were exhausted, but despite the short preparation period and the fact that it was their first experience, they were able to pull it off, which was a very valuable experience for all of us. During the reflection time, we were able to hear comments such as, "We can do this better next time! I want to do something like this!” and other positive things. We wondered if this was also the result of the daily circle time and reflection session. On that day, the kindergarten children also had an opportunity to do activities together with their parents, and everyone seemed very happy to see the children's responses and reactions, which they do not get to see every day. We were also very anxious about the parents' opinions after coming to observe the elementary school presentation, but we were very grateful for their warm and supportive attitude toward the children throughout the event, even if some of them could not speak well. Good job kids!! We are so proud of you all. Documentation: Our math class team ready for presentation about how to build a tent Our science class team ready for the presentation Warmest welcome from primary students to attending parents Primary school children showcase their cooking skills in front of the attending parents. They prepare the same menu, rice balls, just like they did during the previous project camp.
