Surabaya European School

The school is committed to a holistic education that prioritises high academic standards, essential life skills, and a sense of social responsibility. It fosters a family-like, inclusive atmosphere where diversity is valued and students are encouraged to be independent, critical thinkers. The educational ethos is built upon core values of independence, respect, engagement, resilience, and confidence, aiming to shape students into compassionate leaders.

The school offers a comprehensive academic programme beginning with Montessori education for children aged 3–6 (extending to Year 1). Primary students (Years 2–6) follow a customised programme integrating the Cambridge Primary Curriculum with the International Primary Curriculum (IPC). The Secondary School (Years 7–13) follows the UK-based Cambridge International Examinations syllabus, leading to IGCSE qualifications and culminating in A-level examinations. English is the primary language of instruction, with all students receiving lessons in Indonesian and a choice of either Mandarin or French.

Graduates of the school have successfully transitioned to educational institutions in Europe, the USA, Canada, Singapore, and Australia. The school’s educational journey concludes with A-level examinations in Year 13. Students are prepared to be empathetic, adaptive global citizens who possess the critical thinking, resilience, and leadership skills necessary for success in university and beyond.

The school maintains a small overall size and a 1:8 teacher-to-student ratio, which allows staff to provide personalised attention and support to each individual. Teachers and the leadership team closely monitor student progress to ensure every child is challenged according to their potential. The school portal serves as a key tool for communication between teachers, parents, and students, facilitating additional opportunities for learning support and enrichment.
