Image credit: @ slpguidetodyslexia on Instagram The Yale Center for Dyslexia & Creativity defines dyslexia as an “unexpected difficulty in reading” in children and adults who have the intelligence to be much stronger readers. Dyslexia primarily stems from challenges with phonological processing —the ability to connect sounds with written letters and words. This can make decoding new words, spelling, and reading fluency difficult. Students with dyslexia may also struggle with memory for names, dates, or sequences. It’s important to know: Dyslexia is not related to effort or motivation. Dyslexia is not tied to intelligence —many students with dyslexia are highly capable and creative thinkers. With the right support, children with dyslexia can and do become confident readers and learners. Our school uses structured phonics instruction, audiobooks, and technology tools to help students access learning. 👉 Learn more here: Yale Center for Dyslexia & Creativity In support of this awareness, the Student Support Services Team also prepared informative Dyslexia Awareness Boards for you to visit. When you are next in the school building, please take a moment to stop by and learn more about dyslexia, including facts, strategies, and resources for supporting children. You can find the Dyslexia Awareness Boards on the 1 st  and 4 th  Floor. At SPH Kemang Village, we believe every child is made uniquely and wonderfully by God. Just as each student has their own unique gifts, they also have a unique way of learning. We are committed to understanding these differences and providing a supportive environment so every student can flourish in their learning journey.

October is Learning Disabilities Awareness Month, and we’re focusing on raising awareness of dyslexia. Dyslexia is the most common learning difference, affecting an estimated 1 in 10 children worldwide. Chances are, you know someone with dyslexia—whether a classmate, family member, or public figure. Unfortunately, myths often surround dyslexia. Some believe it means “seeing letters backwards” or that students just “need to try harder.” In reality, dyslexia is about how the brain processes written language, not motivation or intelligence. Brain scans show that dyslexic readers use different neural pathways—often drawing more from the right hemisphere of the brain. This month, we’ll share facts, strategies, and resources for families to better understand and support children with dyslexia. 👉 Test your knowledge with a quick quiz In support of this awareness, the Student Support Services Team also prepared informative Dyslexia Awareness Boards for you to visit.

At SPH Kemang Village , our mission is to provide a Christ-centered education that shapes not just the minds, but the hearts and characters of our students. We believe that true education is about equipping young people to live a life of purpose, anchored in faith. This commitment is focused on developing our students toward six Expected Student Outcomes (ESOs) . Flourishing Learners Confident Communicators Truth Seekers World Changers Servant Leaders Faithful Disciples These ESOs are intentional goals we work toward every single day in our classrooms, on our sports fields, and in every interaction within our school community. We are thrilled to announce that this year, we will be recognizing students who exemplify these characteristics with our ESO Award  on a termly basis. These awards are a recognition of the hard work, dedication, and character that our students demonstrate inside and outside the classroom. It is with great pleasure that we announce the recipients of the Middle and High School ESO Awards  for this term! Congratulations, students!  We are incredibly proud of your achievements and look forward to seeing how you will continue to flourish and impact the world around you.

We all want the best for our children, and we want them to succeed. But what does success really mean? 🤔 Sometimes, as we watch our children grow and navigate their school life, we find ourselves asking questions like: Are they on the right path to success, and how do we know for sure? In a world that is constantly changing, what is truly needed for them to thrive? How does the school work on building the right foundations for student success? And as parents, how can we best support our children on their journey? Join us for a special parent session with Mr. Dale, our Head of School, as he shares The Secret to Student Success. This session is designed to give you new insights and practical answers to these important questions. 📅: Thursday, 25 September 2025 ⏰: 7.30 - 8.30 AM 📍: UG Seminar Room ✅ RSVP here: bit.ly/sphkvparentseminar We look forward to seeing you there.

Dear SPH KV Parents,  Warm greetings once more from me and our leadership team at SPH KV. We are grateful for steps that have been recently taken in Indonesia to preserve peace and restore stability. Though some protests have continued, in Jakarta these have been peaceful; again, we are grateful for this.    In light of these positive developments, we plan on returning to campus for in-person learning Wednesday and Thursday, September 3 and 4 respectively. We will resume our regular schedule on campus for both of those days.     We know, based on educational research, that in-person learning is the best option for our students; as such, hybrid learning will not be an option for our students who are unable to come to campus. For these two days this week, we will post communications and assignments via Teams or Managebac for the Senior School students and for JS students work packets will be emailed to parents. This will help to allow these students to progress with their learning.  If events occur which necessitate a change between now and Wednesday morning, or if given direct instructions from the Ministry of Education, we will communicate as soon as possible and revert to remote learning, following the modified online schedules.    We thank you for your trust and continued partnership as we navigate this challenging period. Please continue to pray for our school, our city, and our nation, that God would bless us with His peace.  Sincerely,  Dale Wood Head of School Sekolah Pelita Harapan Kemang Village
