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.

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.

A massive well done to our budding little bakers! After all their hard work making their cookie creations, we took a moment to hear their verdicts.
We were absolutely chuffed to bits to hear them confidently using their new vocabulary to describe their handiwork. The reviews are in, and it’s official: the cookies are “good” and, best of all, utterly “yummy”!
It’s such a lovely thing to see them expressing their satisfaction and building their confidence after a successful baking session. This shows that every practical life activity also includes valuable language and communication skills!

The kitchen was filled with a cracking aroma as our freshly cookies came out of the oven! 🍪
Safety first, of course; our brilliant teacher was the only one allowed near the scorching hot tray, as we all watched the final stage of our baking masterclass. The students were thrilled to learn how the cookies changed texture, noting that they were now “harder than before”.
After a quick sniff test, there was nothing left but to try them, even if one little champion admitted it was still “burning my tongue”! What a smashing end to a fantastic, hands-on lesson about transformations and safety!

A cracking time was had by our students as they got stuck into a cookie creations session!
Following the recipe to the letter, they were diligently measuring the salted butter and icing sugar—a brilliant example of practical life skills in action. Some of the students got to be the ‘kitchen angel’ to help with the initial mixing and stirring. The students then got their hands covered in the soft dough, practising their fine motor skills as they squeezed and shaped it, much like they do with Play-Doh.
It’s wonderful to see the concentration and joy on their faces as they learn that a bit of effort leads to a delicious treat!

A great time was had by all as our students were making waves in their swimming lesson! Our teacher was on hand to teach the finer points of technique, ensuring everyone was learning, swimming, and splashing with confidence.
We focused on the demanding butterfly stroke, with a great drill to practise the dolphin kick motion—remember, it’s a wave from the hips, not massive splashes! The lesson also covered important elements like the pull in the water, which helps perfect the streamline position for faster swimming.
Well done to everyone who got in the pool, you’re all doing a cracking job!
