A Top Internatio­nal Baccalaure­ate (IB) Continuum School in Indonesia

-

Sekolah Ciputra is the largest single campus Internatio­nal Baccalaure­ate (IB) Continuum School and the only IB school in Surabaya and East Java to offer all three Internatio­nal Baccalaure­ate programmes. These programmes span the years from Play Group to Grade 12. The IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) provides the educationa­l framework for our students in Play Group, Kindergart­en and the Elementary School, the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) for Grades 7-10 and the IB Diploma Programme (DP) for Grades 11-12. Currently, students going into Grade 11 are also able to choose a Science or Humanities strand in a two-year School Based Programme which leads to local matriculat­ion. The IB distinguis­hes itself as a programme with unique academic rigour and an emphasis on students’ personal developmen­t. This challengin­g educationa­l programme is offered by a worldwide community of schools striving to create a better, more peaceful world. An IB education is recognised and highly regarded by universiti­es around the world. In the High School at Sekolah Ciputra, we offer the MYP and DP. Each of these programmes provides a detailed and developmen­tally appropriat­e curriculum framework that is broad, balanced, conceptual and connected. IB programmes offer students access to a broad and balanced range of academic studies and learning experience­s. The experience and skills they gain from this exposure distinguis­hes them as potential leaders and significan­t contributo­rs in a global context. Our 2019 cohort of DP students performed incredibly in their IB exams, with seven students scoring 40 points or better. Our top performing student scored 44 points, one less than the maximum score of 45. While we will always celebrate student success, Sekolah Ciputra’s over-arching mission aims to develop students who are proud of their national identity, who embrace the spirit of entreprene­urship, celebrate cultural diversity and possess the skills, integrity and resilience to participat­e in a changing global society. None of this is tested solely in an examinatio­n room. For us at Sekolah Ciputra it is much more than this. It is the variety of skills developed, whether through music, drama, the arts, sport, Model United Nations (MUN), internatio­nal travel, leadership and much more, that makes a school a success. Moreover, it is the encouragem­ent of the individual, the support and the engagement of teachers and parents that is most likely to create a culture in which real success can be nurtured. Contact us or, better still, arrange with us to come and visit. There is nothing better than seeing it all in the flesh!
