About the school
| Qualities and characteristics best defining the school |
We believe that the power of an integrated system ensures that each student is developed and nurtured holistically – from academics, to character building and cultivating a life-long love for learning. We are motivated by the belief that the future growth and progress of Indonesia depends on our ability to educate and develop a new generation of leaders who are able to compete and succeed at an international level. To do this, more Indonesians must have access to a world-class education that meets or exceeds international standards. Sampoerna Academy, is the starting point of our unique end-to-end education system. We groom our students, preparing them for entry into tertiary education at either our sister institution – Sampoerna University or to allow them access to over 1000 Universities in the United States. We are the only Asian-based integrated system that offers multiple pathways to an internationally-recognized American degree. |
| Teaching approach of the school |
Sampoerna Academy philosophy encourages students to inquire, explore, innovate and communicate, providing vital skills required for leadership in Indonesia and abroad. Coupled with internationally-recognized academic credentials, we are equipping our students to compete and succeed at every stage of life. With the advent of the information age available at our finger-tips, our job as a school is to teach our students “to learn how to learn”. Drawing from the world’s best curricula and American-based STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) methodologies, we are equipping our students with global exposure and an internationally-recognized academic qualification. Our environment was created to encourage a culture of innovation and collaboration. Moreover, our integration of communication, multiple language proficiency, and collaboration in team projects sets us apart from most other schools in ASEAN. |
