Jakarta,+Indonesia

Jakarta, Indonesia ====The Netherlands International School is a little different from a regular school. International Schools can be found all around the world, but are usually located in non-English speaking countries to offer education to the English Speaking children of expatriates. An expatriate is a person who lives in a country other than the country where they are a citizen. These people are usually people who have moved to another country for work. Most of their work is in mining, gas & oil, engineering, business and banking but there are others too.==== ====NIS is even more unique than a regular International School. It offers education in two languages - English and Dutch. Students either belong to the Dutch Stream or the English Stream. Both streams also learn Bahasa Indonesian - the official language of Indonesia. Many of our students speak two or more languages very well! Children from many countries attend NIS. There are children from the Netherlands, England, Ireland, India, the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, Korea, Asia and the Middle East, Indonesia, Central and South America, Africa and many parts of Europe.==== ====The weather in Jakarta is usually quite hot, averaging about 32 degrees Celsius every day! (about 91 degrees Fahrenheit). There are two main seasons, the hot/dry season and the rainy season. The thunder is so loud during the wet season that it makes you jump out of your skin every time you hear it! Sometimes there are floods near our school during the wet season. One time a giant python was found just out front of the school! It had been disturbed during a flood.==== ====Jakarta is one of the 10th most populated cities in the world and the traffic here is crazy! Jakarta is the capital of Indonesia. Indonesia is an archipelago. This means that it is made up of many, many islands. Some big ones and many smaller ones.====
