Welcome to Sekolah Ciputra for the 2026 – 2027 school year
We are excited to open the new academic year, which is our 30th anniversary! Our enrolment is the highest it has ever been, at 1330 students, which creates an even more vibrant learning community for everyone. We have continued to improve and expand our facilities, with the addition of our new swimming pool as well as classroom refurbishments and other construction projects. These investments reflect our commitment to providing first-class facilities that inspire both current students and future generations, and it is always a joy to hear from our alumni about how amazed they are with all of the new facilities when they come back to visit the school.
Academic excellence and university pathways
The Class of 2026 enjoyed significant success International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) achievement, with every Grade 12 student sitting examinations in at least three subjects, and an overall pass rate of 92% for our students attempting the full IB Diploma (the world average is approximately 82%). We also continued our trend of more than tripling the world average for Bilingual IB Diplomas, as 91% of our graduates achieved the Bilingual Diploma (the world average is approximately 27%) for this most prestigious IB Diploma.
Special congratulations go to our top achiever Hilton Felix Hartanto who attained a superb 40 points, and to the entire cohort for continuing the trend of the school’s overall average being above the global mean. As an inclusive school that allows our students to attempt the full IB Diploma Programme, the fact that our overall pass rate, Bilingual Diploma pass rate, and the reality that 60% of our graduates scored 30 or higher on their exams show how amazing our students and staff are! Our most recent university admissions data confirm offers from leading institutions across North America, Europe, Australasia, and Indonesia, underscoring the global competitiveness of a Sekolah Ciputra education.
Our identity as an IB Continuum School
Founded in 1996, Sekolah Ciputra is proud to be an authorised IB World School offering the full continuum—Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and Diploma Programme (DP). We are fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and hold Satuan Pendidikan Kerjasama (SPK) status with an ‘A’ rating in each school division. Membership in the East Asian Regional Council of Schools (EARCOS) further connects us to educational best practice across the region.
Vision, Mission, and strategic direction
2026 – 2027 marks Year 3 of our current three-year Strategic Plan, rooted in the vision first articulated by our founder, Pak Ciputra. Guided by our motto Non Scholae Sed Vitae Discimus—We learn not for school but for life—we remain committed to a broad, balanced curriculum that nurtures the academic, ethical, social, physical, emotional, and cultural growth of every learner. Child protection remains our highest priority; our policies, procedures, and recruitment practices meet or exceed international safeguarding standards.
A diverse, caring community
Our students are from 30 different nationalities and speak 15 different home languages, creating a truly international community. They are supported by an energetic Parent Support Group (PSG) and an ever-growing Alumni Association (SCAA), both of which play a vital role in strengthening our community bonds and extending learning beyond the classroom.
Outstanding facilities and co-curricular opportunities
Every teaching space is equipped with an interactive technology such as Smart Board or large-screen smart TV, and all staff receive ongoing training in digital pedagogy. Ciputra Hall, our 710-seat performing arts centre, hosts school productions and community events using state-of-the-art audio-visual technology.
Beyond the classroom, our students excel in a wide range of activities. Sekolah Ciputra continues to host the Surabaya round of the World Scholar’s Cup, Model United Nations conferences, and numerous national and international academic, sporting, and cultural competitions. Teams regularly advance to Global Rounds in Seoul, Bangkok, Dubai, Melbourne, and the Tournament of Champions at Yale University. Music tuition, over 50 extra-curricular clubs, and an expanding sports programme ensure that every learner finds—and hones—his or her passion.
Looking ahead
Students of Sekolah Ciputra are proud of their Indonesian identity, embody the spirit of entrepreneurship and professionalism, celebrate cultural diversity, and develop the skills, integrity, and resilience to thrive in a rapidly changing world. We believe that every day is an open day at Sekolah Ciputra and warmly invite you to visit our campus, meet our students and teachers, and experience our learning community first-hand.
We look forward to partnering with you throughout the 2026 – 2027 school year and beyond.
