We combine a Montessori-inspired approach with California state learning standards and IB-inspired inquiry-based learning to nurture joyful, capable, and globally-minded learners in a bilingual (English & Indonesian) environment.

Our Mission

  • Combine Montessori-inspired methods with California state learning standards.
  • Use IB-inspired inquiry and project-based learning across all grades.
  • Develop bilingual fluency in English and Indonesian.
  • Nurture the whole child — academic, social, emotional, and creative.
  • Build strong partnerships between school, family, and community.
Our Values

The colors of our identity.

Joy

Learning is a delight, not a duty. Curiosity and wonder light every day.

Excellence

We hold high standards — California-aligned, internationally benchmarked.

Inquiry

Students ask, investigate, and construct understanding — real 21st-century thinking.

Creativity

Dance, drama, music, visual arts — multiple channels for every voice.

Bilingual

English and Indonesian side-by-side, rooted locally, open to the world.

Our Approach

A thoughtful blend of proven methods.

Rainbow School of Joy builds on established educational traditions — chosen because they work.

Montessori-Inspired Early Years

Hands-on, sensory-rich learning where children explore the world through touch, sight, and sound — building independence and a lifelong love of discovery.

California State Standards

Rigorous, internationally-benchmarked learning standards for Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, The Arts, and Physical Education.

IB-Inspired Inquiry

From Elementary onwards, our inquiry-driven, project-based lessons develop concepts, skills, knowledge, attitudes, and action — the foundation of 21st-century learning.

Bilingual Immersion

English and Indonesian developed in parallel from Preschool. Students graduate fluent communicators in both languages, ready for local and global opportunities.
