This is Alex’s new school The Wesley International School in Malang East Java. It is a beautiful purpose built site with somewhere around 200 pupils. It caters for children from 6 to 18 and follows an American style curriculum.
These schools are run by the Wesleyian church in the USA and were set up to cater for the children of missionaries, but now are open to any English speaking pupils who can pay the fees. Malang was a Dutch hill station from colonial times and is now surrounded by military bases and tea plantations. The city is growing fast and due to its cooler climate is very popular with the ex-pat community.
Alex is in 10th grade and his class of 10 consists almost entirely of Koreans, mostly girls, and an American boy. He has begun a course on psychology and is working on the school magazine. School starts at 7:30 am and ends at 2:30 pm.
