Welcome
to Ukarumpa International School. We’d like to take a
few minutes to introduce ourselves to you. Ukarumpa International School is a
Christian day school that includes classes from grades Pre-Kindergarten to
grade 12. We are located in the beautiful highlands of Papua New Guinea, about one hour by air from
Port
Moresby, the capital of PNG and three and a half
hours from Lae by road. The town of Ukarumpa is the setting for our school,
nestled within the tropical but comfortable Eastern Highlands Province. Please come inside for a
closer look.
Kindergarten
The
kindergarten classroom and the primary grades are colourful, interesting learning
environments where we introduce our children to the wonderful world of the Kingdom of
God
and tell them of their place in it. As we develop literacy and numeracy
skills, socialization skills and Bible knowledge, arts, physical education,
and explore the world around us, we do so in the knowledge and confession
that we are created by God, and that it is our purpose in life to respond
to him in obedience, and with joy.
Professionally trained teachers guide the learning process and
individually and collectively “train up a child in the way that he or she
should go."
Elementary
School
The junior grades build on the knowledge acquired in
the primary division and expand the students’ horizons. New areas of interest are explored and
new talents are discovered. The
skills or reading and writing, arithmetic and social sciences become
somewhat more complex and more interrelated. Bible classes and Bible memory work
continue to be an important part of the curriculum and Biblical concepts
are applied in all the curricular areas.
Again, bright, well-decorated classrooms create a rich learning
environment for our students.
Middle School
Students in grades 7 & 8 are being groomed for
further studies in high school. They
delve deeper into literature and the structure of language,
into the axioms and problem solving of mathematics, into history, geography
and science, art, music and physical education, always guided by the
perspective of the Word of God.
High School
One of the strengths of Ukarumpa International School is
that students can continue their studies in our high school. Here in grades 9 through 12 students can
concentrate on studies that are a continuation of the strong foundations
laid in the grade school. They can
focus in more depth on the various disciplines of literature, mathematics,
Bible, history, geography, the sciences, law, family studies, economics,
computers, etc. all within the same Biblical perspective that permeates our
entire curriculum. Modern science
and computer laboratories provide the tools necessary for this level of
study.
