Developing strong study habits is a core part of early education at Surabaya European School.
Our primary students are currently making wonderful progress in their ability to concentrate on both independent tasks and collaborative projects. Whether they are solving mathematical problems individually or sharing digital resources with a partner to complete a drawing, the children consistently show a brilliant attitude towards their work.
