Record-Breaking Alumni Acceptance at Top Global Universities: From the Ivy League to Favorite PTN

The success of an educational institution is ultimately measured by the quality and competitiveness of its graduates on the global stage. Entering 2026, the competition to secure seats in higher education—both elite international institutions (the Ivy League) and top-tier State Universities (PTN) in Indonesia—has become increasingly fierce due to shifting selection systems and rising global qualification standards.

As one of the best international schools in Serpong, BINUS SCHOOL Serpong consistently sets breakthrough records for alumni acceptance at prestigious universities worldwide. This ongoing milestone stands as a concrete testament to the efficacy of the holistic educational framework implemented since early childhood.

  • The Russell Group (UK) & Global Hubs: Leading universities across the United Kingdom, Australia, and East Asia that demand exceptionally high standards of research competency.

Pathway Flexibility: Success in Elite Local State Universities (PTN)

One of the unique advantages of holding a Satuan Pendidikan Kerjasama (SPK) status with a consistent Grade A Accreditation is legal flexibility.
