Islamic Boarding School of Darul Ilmi (IBS-DI)

Actually, this school was founded under the foundation controlled named Darul Ilmi, the foundation itself was founded in 1980, it was long time story since the school founded in the mid 2017. Before the school founded, this foundation is only oriented in islamic teaching educations, as the traditional teaching, the foundations explored and develops their program time to time, till they announced their first legal Islamic Teaching School (Pesantren/Dayah called in Indonesian) in islamic government department, especially Indonesian Religion Ministry.

By the time, the activities well popular and already know by society, the foundation try to expand their traces to creating the modern school which is combined with both curriculum (Islamic and Schools Curriculum). Till then Darul Ilmi Junior High School founded, and met the requirement in goverment officials by attended 50 students in school classroom activity.

IBS-DI Students Background, Potentials and Characteristics

Most of students in IBS-DI school nominated by local people which is closed by the school area. It caused to make their parents more economics and ease to access, there are various background family within students eg. Orphan, divorced children, and etc. These background made them little hard to form the attitudes in daily life or school activities.

While we see through their potentials, most of students are clever and smart, especially in their memorizing aspects, they just easily to memorize the vocabularies (Arabic and English). Beside, their voice already sounded well through their reciting Holy Al-Qur'an. We just find something more exciting within their extracurriculer activity, it show that most of students are well and organized in playing football? Can you see it while their activity if full scheduled within the boarding, but still they can maintain their hobby, especiallly in football.

Anothers potentials revealed, as we can see through their smart creation in forming something from the hand works. next time we will provided their works hand in this post

IBS-DI School Curriculum (Islamic & Modern Combination)

By having a boarding school entitled, its not made the school limited access to provided their best curriculum to students, we found interest when we see through the curriculum integrated by school principal, thats modern and Islamic curriculum are combined in one syllabus while teachers and school stake holders are responsible to the project/curriculum.

For instance, while we see they studied physics, in the end of class, teachers tell students about the Islamic Verses whereas quoted from Holy Al-Qur'an about Physics cases, this is awesome! Beside, in all subject that students learn they just can connected their study into religions aspects from Holy Qur'an as the proof.

IBS-DI Environment (Classes, Park and etc.)

While we see this school as the baby born school, we knew that all building in this school are still on the progress, and its on develops into a good ones surely. As we can see the photograph below shown one of building still in developing, and actually this building allocated to Language Laboratory.

This buidling is inder development which is predicted would be ready and settled in the end 2018. Hopeful, we can see a lot of innovation and development within IBS-DI.

The next photograph will shown the school environment realted about their motto or every positive suggestion worth to students.

This motivational pictures described about students obligatory to maintain their cleaness, attitudes and language inside the school areas. We knew that most of barding school adopted English and Arabic as their obligatory language to communicate and interac each other.
