About this school
Surabaya European School (SES) was founded in 1997 as the first Montessori school in Surabaya with an AMI-trained teacher, starting with a class of seven children. In 2001 it began using the British National Curriculum in collaboration with the British International School Jakarta; it became fully accredited by Cambridge in 2011, holding its first on-site Cambridge examinations that year in a newly built campus, and adopted the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) in 2016.
Today SES has around 170 students from 17 nationalities. Its programme runs from Montessori early years through primary, using the Cambridge curriculum and the IPC framework, to secondary, where students follow Cambridge International from Year 7 leading to IGCSE and A Level. Teaching is in English, with Bahasa Indonesia, Chinese and French lessons.
The school keeps a teacher-to-student ratio of about 1:8, employs subject specialists in mathematics and science, and offers co-curricular programmes including music, art, drama and The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award. The campus is in the Pakuwon Indah area of West Surabaya, and the school describes a warm, family-style community.
