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. These include enthusiasm, independence, resilience, adaptability and a sense of humour. From Montessori school, Primary School and Secondary school these characteristics all contribute to the caring, supportive environment and community that encourages each students to explore and develop their potential in their own way.

We make a conscious effort to hold events that offer our community the opportunity to come together in wide range of sporting, artistic, intellectual and cultural activities. In addition to cultivating a sense of belonging, this allows our students to explore their creativity and imagination and gain confidence in expressing themselves.

Following a successful field trip to Garda Pangan, our teachers held a special presentation to reflect on the experience and celebrate the learning that took place.

🚌✨ During the session, students shared their highlights and asked thoughtful questions, showing how much they had gained from the journey. It was a fantastic opportunity to reinforce knowledge and connect classroom learning with real-world experiences. We’re proud of how engaged and curious our students were throughout the entire process. A big thank you to our staff and parents for making it all possible!

The Year 2-4 students then held a successful bake sale where they raised money for Garda Pangan. They raised an impressive Rp. 6,950,000!

To celebrate World Book Day, our students brought their favourite fictional characters to life in a vibrant fashion show. From classic heroes to modern icons, each costume reflected creativity, confidence, and a love for reading. It was a delightful blend of literature and style, with every step on the runway telling its own tale. We’re incredibly proud of the imagination and effort put into every look. Books inspire us - and today, they dressed us too!
