Sekolah Alam (Nature School)

Sekolah Alam

In this PDR Project, I do a research in a school named “Sekolah Alam”, it’s a school with Natural Orientation. According with my research result, Sekolah alam (note: Nature School) is a private school with natural environment orientation. Sekolah Alam is really different with other school, Sekolah alam is like study without any class in the nature, without any desk, chair, etc. They usually study about nature, so they can know nature well, for example Jungle, Mountain, etc. If they already visited one place, they move another place, so they like travel like taking a journey in one place to another place. The Subject of Sekolah Alam is different, the concept studied taught is totally different with another schools. This school also was not owned by certain individuals, but by all the interest s that were not involved inside. All school’s staffs, the teachers, parents, and the employee was “shareholders” in this school.

The nearest Sekolah Alam from High/Scope is Sekolah Alam Ciganjur, also, I would like to explain about this school’s information. Here is the address of Sekolah alam in Ciganjur:
