JETA Study Visit to Mountainview International School

Last Tuesday, 28 September 2010, JETA visited Mountainview International Christian School Salatiga. There were 32 teachers from various of SMA at Jepara joined this activity. It was very great experience, we were accepted beyond our imagination. We didn't think that we would get such a great experience.
JETA left for Salatiga at 5.30 in the morning. Actually we planned to depart at 5 o'clock, but the bus came late. We arrived at Mountainview at 8.30. Ibu Maria Teguh, the public relation of Mountainview, had already waited for us.
On the first agenda, we were allowed to observe teaching and learning process at the classroom. We were divide into groups of five,and we were allowed to join the class, but during observation, they were not allowed to disturb even make a phone call and SMS.
On the second agenda, we had a chance to discuss with the principle of Mountainview, Ibu Lisa Richardson, at a very nice and luxuary auditorium. The principle presented a series power point of mountainview followed by questionand answer. We were discussing on everything at mountainview including curriculum, intra and extra activity, shool board and more.
The last, we were given opportunity to  interact with students. Actually it was bahasa Indonesia lesson, ibu Maria ask the students to talk to us. We were having chat at a beautiful hall. Students of Mountainview were very nice. They shown us the environment surrounding Mountainview. They brought us to gym, soccer field and salak field.
Many thanks to Mountainview. We hope that our visit will create relationship between Indonesia and the countries of Mountainview students.
Here are some picture of our visit.
