Our Educators
Alongside their qualifications and experiences, Surabaya European School’s teachers have the qualities needed to support and inspire students in a high performing international school.

We also ensure that each student receives the educational support they need while being challenged to extend themselves according to their individual potential.

Much like Charles Buxton’s insightful quote, “In life, as in chess, forethought wins,” our aim is to equip our students with the foresight to set their sights, map out their journey, and achieve success in their academic pursuits and personal lives.

Our SES explorers’ visit to the chocolate factory provided a rich context for the IPC’s emphasis on Knowledge, Skills, and Understanding.
By getting their senses properly involved and observing the entire “bean to bar” process, they moved beyond just the basics to develop a more nuanced grasp of the industry and how it all works. 🍫👃👀

Have a peek at the playful side of our International Food and Culture celebration! We delved into Korean culture with Ddakji, a traditional flipping game, experienced the strategic fun of Indonesian Congklak, and tested our reflexes with the classic European game of skittles! Plus, so much more! It was a global playground of fun!

This sentiment encapsulates the journey towards Independence that we actively foster at Surabaya European School (SES). Through encouraging experimentation and viewing setbacks as integral to the learning process, our students cultivate a deeper comprehension and develop the capacity to navigate challenges with autonomy. Indeed, failure often provides the most profound lessons.
