Choosing The Right Education System For Your Children: National, National Plus, or SPK

When selecting a school for your child, there are many types of schools to choose from. So how do you choose which is best for your child? In choosing a school for your child, there are three things to consider: language, curriculum, and culture.

If you are looking to enrol them in an English-speaking school in Indonesia, you would be wise to consider SPK schools. This is because SPK schools offer internationally recognised curriculums, such as Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) for both IGCSE and A-Levels, taught by a native English speaking staff. 

Unlike national and national plus schools, SPK schools are well-known for their English-speaking staff. Subjects are entirely taught in English, encouraging students to practice their English in daily conversations with teachers and fellow students alike.

CIE and IB are the two best international education systems recognised by top universities all over the world. Students of SPK schools that offer these programs stand a higher chance of being recognised and accepted by the best international universities and colleges due to the prestige of their high school diploma. The CIE-based education system is one of the preferred bridges for Indonesian students to various prestigious universities in Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe. 

When it comes to Cambridge-based curriculum education provider, Bina Bangsa School (BBS) is the country's most experienced. Since 2001, BBS has consistently held the title for the best Cambridge school in Indonesia. BBS students garner the highest number of Cambridge's Brilliance Awards in the country and numerous academic awards such as High Achievement, Top in Indonesia, and Top in the World for various subjects.

Bina Bangsa School takes pride in offering a wide range of opportunities for our students' higher education beyond their time on campus. As a result, BBS alumni have been accepted to various top universities in Indonesia, America, Europe, and Asia. 

SPK schools such as BBS offer one avenue of opportunity through our selection of co-curricular activities and non-academic programs. From sports, like basketball and football teams, to arts, like Chinese and Western orchestras and drama programs, there is something for every student. Through these activities, students are taught to practise our school's core values: dedication, integrity, teamwork, passion, and compassion.

Students of BBS also benefit from experiencing the school's core values in a multicultural setting that may not be available in all national and national plus schools. In addition, students would be exposed to a diverse set of cultures in their learning. BBS also adopts a global approach to learning, applying a global perspective on its subjects. Both skills are essential in preparing students for their journey beyond high school.

BBS believes in the importance of preserving our students' cultural identity. Therefore, on top of subjects being taught in English, students are also taught Indonesian and Chinese Language in BBS to maintain their cultural roots.

BBS accepts applications for Pre-School, Primary, Secondary, and Junior College education levels.
