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.
Educating Global Citizens
Our consistent focus for students is on high academic standards, essential life skills and a sense of responsibility to the community all within the framework of a ‘family like’ atmosphere. We also ensure that each student receives the educational support they need while being challenged to extend themselves according to their individual potential.
As an international school we pride ourselves on the family atmosphere and culturally diverse community we have created here in Surabaya. 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.

Our students had a brilliant time engaging in a fantastic ‘garden-to-table’ experience right here at school. After exploring our garden and identifying the fresh produce, they watched keenly as our teacher demonstrated how to prepare some delicious treats.
On the menu was a savoury vegetable bake with ricotta and parmesan, alongside a refreshing green smoothie made with freshly cut greens and coconut water. It was a splendid opportunity for the students to see how ingredients they’ve just seen growing can be turned into a yummy meal.
This hands-on lesson beautifully illustrated the journey of our food from the soil to the plate. What a flavourful and educational day for everyone involved!
