It can be interpreted that the role of the school as an institution must provide learning that can develop a wide range of student competence. The most appropriate learning strategies to achieve what is thought of this school is by using learning model of ˜project citizen™. This model is basically based on the strategy of inquiry learning, discovery learning, problem solving, and research-oriented learning.
