About this school
Sekolah Mutiara Harapan (SMH) was set up by Riau Andalan Pulp and Paper, now part of the APRIL Group, for the families of its employees, and sits inside the company's Town Site 1 complex in Pangkalan Kerinci, Riau. It began in the 1990s as a home-schooling group for expatriate children that became Global Andalan International School; SMH opened for Indonesian students in 2003 and the two merged under the SMH name in 2006.
SMH is a private, non-profit, co-educational K–12 school with SPK status. Its sections are:
- Kindergarten and primary (JKG–Grade 6), following the IB Primary Years Programme; SMH became an IB World School in 2009 and is the only IB school in Riau
- Junior high (Grades 7–9), with Cambridge Lower Secondary Checkpoint and IGCSE
- Senior high, offering Cambridge IGCSE and A Level, in a new building opened in 2025
English is the main language of instruction, with Bahasa Indonesia used for required government subjects. The school reports 712 students and 99 teaching staff, and is also the first PDQ centre in Sumatra.
