| Qualities and characteristics best defining the school |
Founded in 2001, Bina Bangsa School intended to fulfil the aspirations of families who wished to give their children a national education with a global outlook. Henceforth, BBS came into existence – with an internationally recognised Cambridge programme - IGCSE and ‘A’ Levels Curricular. We have integrated our academic training with the teaching of the Christian faith as our central value system. We are also proud to claim that each campus holds a niche area either in the field of Music and Dance, Chinese and Western Orchestra or Sports. As a family of schools, we act synergistically by executing a common educational model. |
| Teaching approach of the school |
BBS, serves as International School in Jakarta, thus pioneered a school embedded in an international curriculum based on the rigorous standards of the Singapore education system to prepare students for the University of Cambridge IGCSE and "A" levels examinations. Students were prepared from K to 12 predominantly in English but with a strong emphasis on the teaching of the Chinese language and culture. |
