At Surabaya European School, our young learners are building strong foundations in spelling and writing โ€” one word at a time. Through guided practice and meaningful reflection, students develop not only accuracy and fluency, but also the confidence to express their thoughts clearly and creatively.

Each writing session is a step towards confident communication, nurturing skills that go beyond the classroom and into everyday life. ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ“š
