Welcome to Our School Community

Dear BINUSIAN Families,

Education is one of life’s great adventures. It offers us the tools to understand the world and, equally importantly, to understand ourselves. At BINUS SCHOOL Serpong, we believe that real learning is about much more than tests and textbooks. It’s about helping young people grow into thoughtful, kind, and capable individuals who can face the future with both confidence and care.

As a parent myself, I understand that what we want for our children stretches far beyond grades or career success. We want them to be happy. We want them to be whole. We want them to live meaningful lives and to help shape a more compassionate and just world. That’s why at BINUS SCHOOL Serpong, we place equal importance on academic, social, emotional, and spiritual growth. The heart matters as much as the mind.

As BINUSIANS, we come from many countries, cultures, religions, and walks of life. Yet we are united by a shared love for Indonesia; its warmth, its depth, its sense of community. Ours is a truly international school, but one that proudly embraces Indonesian values. We believe this mix gives our students something rare and powerful: a strong sense of identity and a wide view of the world.

We are currently a candidate school for the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and Diploma Programme (DP)*. This means we are integrating IB’s Approaches to Learning and the Learner Profile into our existing academic strengths. It’s a process that challenges us to think deeper, ask better questions, and reflect on what matters most. We want our students to be excellent, yes, but also curious, resilient, and wise.

Our SPIRIT values, like striving for excellence and respect, are not just words on a wall. They are ways of being. They show up in how we treat each other, how we face setbacks, and how we choose to grow.

Thank you for joining us on this journey. While no school is ever truly finished, we are growing stronger, wiser, and more intentional every year. We are proud to be a school that challenges itself, that questions not just what we do but why we do it, and that holds fast to the belief that student learning is not just a goal, but the very reason we exist. The future is being built here and with your partnership, it is becoming brighter every day.
