Job description

SAMPOERNA ACADEMY

Our teaching philosophy encourages students to inquire, explore, innovate and communicate, providing vital skills required for leadership in Indonesia and abroad. Coupled with internationally-recognized academic credentials, we are equipping our students to compete and succeed at every stage of life. With the advent of the information age available at our finger-tips, our job as a school is to teach our students “to learn how to learn”.

Drawing from the world’s best curricula and American-based STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) methodologies, we are equipping our students with global exposure and an internationally-recognized academic qualification.

Our environment was created to encourage a culture of innovation and collaboration. Moreover, our integration of communication, multiple language proficiency, and collaboration in team projects set us apart from most other schools in ASEAN.

Our end goal is to prepare students for tertiary education and to make them work‑ready and world‑ready.

Core Beliefs

• Academically, we prioritize the development of cognitive skills and communication skills over rote memorization because we believe that more than acquiring facts, students must be able to apply their knowledge in real situations.
• We seek opportunities to engage all stakeholders to play a part in the success of our students.
• We maintain a strong Asian cultural value system that celebrates social harmony, order, and respect.
• STEAM competency will differentiate our students from those attending other schools.
