About this school
Bina Bangsa School Balikpapan is the East Kalimantan campus of Bina Bangsa School (BBS), a group that opened its first campus in Kebon Jeruk, Jakarta, in 2001 and was among the first schools in Indonesia to adopt the Singapore-based Cambridge curriculum with a strong Chinese-language programme. BBS now has about 4,000 students and 500 teachers across six campuses in Jakarta, Bandung, Malang, Semarang and Balikpapan, and aims to combine Western education and technology with Eastern culture and values, grounded in the Word of God.
The Balikpapan campus is located in the Balikpapan Superblock complex on Jl. Jendral Sudirman. The school highlights the diversity of its community, with several nationalities and ethnic groups represented among its students.
BBS programmes start with an English–Mandarin bilingual preschool for ages 2–6, drawing on Singapore's Kindergarten Curriculum Framework and the UK EYFS, followed by a primary programme focused on English, Chinese and mathematics. Group-wide activities include HSK Chinese exams (BBS is an authorised centre), coding and MakeX robotics, olympiad training, an entrepreneurship fair and student exchanges.
