St. Johannes Berchmans School

St. Johannes Berchmans School is a Catholic institution rooted in Ignatian values, guided by the principles of Magis—the call to do more, be more, and love more—and Cura personalis. The school promotes the REACH values of Respect, Empathy, Acceptance, Compassion, and Honesty to nurture students into joyful, benevolent, and sincere individuals.

The academic programme integrates the Cambridge International curriculum and the Kurikulum Merdeka, enriched by Singaporean pedagogies and trilingual instruction in English, Mandarin, and Bahasa Indonesia. The curriculum is structured across Early Years, Primary, Secondary, and Junior College stages, incorporating STEAM integration, project-based learning, and a unique value-added framework focused on culture, leadership, and academic preparedness. Secondary and Junior College students follow a qualification pathway that includes Cambridge Lower Secondary, IGCSE, and AS & A Level examinations.

The school emphasizes the principle of Cura personalis, or care for the whole person, and utilizes the ClassDojo reinforcement discipline framework to make values visible. Support is provided through guided reflections, prayer circles, and peer mentoring programs to ensure the emotional and behavioral well-being of students.
