The SIS Group of Schools is delighted to announce that Nicola Krause of SIS South Jakarta has been shortlisted for the prestigious Cambridge Dedicated Teacher Award. This nomination is a testament to the values that SIS holds dear—fairness, respect, integrity, compassion, and courage—which are embodied and exemplified by Nicola’s unwavering commitment and extraordinary dedication to her students and our school community.

Nicola, serving as the Deputy Head Teacher, has notably adapted her teaching methods to cater to the diverse learning needs of her students, ensuring that every individual feels valued and supported in a nurturing and inclusive environment. Her leadership has seen our preschool inclusivity initiatives flourish, creating a space where learning thrives for every child.

But her influence doesn’t stop at the classroom door. Nicola’s reach extends to impactful projects like student entrepreneurship programs to raise funds for children with terminal illness and organizing care packages for non-teaching staff. Despite undergoing treatment for serious illness in 2022 and 2023, she has continued to work and provide support to students, teachers and parents. She also extends her compassion beyond our walls to support parents facing similar health challenges.

Her resilience and compassion do not go unnoticed. Nicola’s positive influence reverberates through our school, making her an inspirational figure to both peers and students. Her dedication to instilling empathy and social responsibility in our community is nothing short of remarkable.

Nicola Krause truly embodies what it means to be an outstanding educator at SIS, making significant contributions and maintaining unwavering determination in the face of adversity. We wholeheartedly celebrate her nomination for the Cambridge Dedicated Teacher Awards.

Her story is a shining example of the ethos we cultivate at SIS—where our educators are not just teachers, but EFFECTOR’s of change, mentors, and pillars of the learning community. With a unique academic program that integrates the best aspects of international curricula and a focus on active learning, SIS is committed to nurturing well-rounded individuals ready to make a positive impact on society.
