This study aims to identify the communication model used in sexuality education for children at elementary schools in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The data were collected through in-depth interviews and passive observation in three schools: a public school, a religion-based school, and an international school. The findings indicate that all three schools have different communication models of sexuality education depending on each institution’s character. The public school uses a simpler model, where sexuality education is delivered by teachers in a regular class. The private schools involve external parties as speakers and organize a special session to discuss sexuality education.
