About this school
Amman Academy, formerly Sekolah Buin Batu, opened in July 2008 on the island of Sumbawa. It serves the dependants of employees and contractors at PT Amman Mineral Nusa Tenggara's Batu Hijau copper and gold mine. The school was formed by merging two earlier schools: Sekolah Nasional Buin Batu, founded in the townsite in 2000, and Batu Hijau International School, founded in Mataram in 1998. In January 2024 it moved into a new purpose-built campus.
The school offers International Baccalaureate programmes alongside the Indonesian curriculum:
- Early Childhood, with a play-based approach
- IB Primary Years Programme
- IB Middle Years Programme
- High school, offering either the Indonesian national curriculum (SMA) or the IB Diploma Programme
Staff are mainly Indonesian, complemented by expatriate teachers from Australia, Canada, India, Ireland, Malaysia, New Zealand and the USA. School life includes a student representative council, community service, visual and performing arts, a physical education and sports programme, a library and e-library, student support services and an active parent-teacher association.
