IGCSE
SES is proud to offer the full Cambridge Pathway for learners from 5 to 19 year of age
SES is fully accredited by Badan Akerditasi Nasional with 'A' grades for Montessori, Primary, Lower Secondary and Upper Secondary
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 caring 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.
SES celebrates the sporting, cultural, social and charitable activities of our school community. Providing our students with opportunities for fitness, sport, artistic expression as well as a supportive social environment is a very important part of their holistic development. We appreciate the extensive efforts of our teachers and parents in providing a well-rounded experience. Check out our Instagram feed…
Solids, Liquids, and... Gas! 🎈💨
In Year 4 Science, we have been exploring the different states of matter. But how do you study something you often cannot see? You trap it! 🕵️♀️
Students conducted a fascinating experiment to “make gas”. By mixing specific solids and liquids, they triggered a chemical reaction that released gas, inflating the balloons right before their eyes. It was a brilliant visual demonstration of how gas takes up space and exerts pressure.

Year 6 students swapped the classroom for a culinary adventure at Haidilao. This field trip was all about applying their language skills in a real-life setting. Students confidently ordered their meals in Chinese and navigated the etiquette of a traditional hot pot meal—including the challenge of using chopsticks!
A brilliant experience that combined language building with cultural discovery.

In our Junior Primary School classes, we use hands-on resources—like these colourful counters—to help students visualise concepts before putting pen to paper. By physically moving objects and counting them out, students build a solid, logical understanding of Maths that lasts a lifetime.

How do you describe the crunch of a biscuit or the texture of a brownie without seeing it?
In Year 4 English, we turned the classroom into a sensory laboratory! 🕵️♂️✨ Students participated in a Taste Test Challenge, where they were blindfolded and asked to identify mystery foods.
But the real challenge wasn’t just guessing the food—it was describing it. Students had to use their senses of smell, touch, and taste to find vivid sensory words for their writing. It was a brilliant way to expand their vocabulary and bring their descriptive writing to life.

3... 2... 1... Blast Off! Year 5 is Mission Ready. 🚀🔴
Our Year 5 students have officially launched their new IPC unit: Mission to Mars.
To kickstart this interplanetary journey, we began with an energetic ‘Entry Point’ designed to simulate Astronaut Training. Students faced a series of timed ‘Minute to Win It’ challenges—from keeping balloons afloat to precision throwing—testing the essential skills every astronaut needs: ✅ Hand-eye coordination ✅ Focus under pressure ✅ Resilience
Once the crew earned their stripes, they shifted gears from physical training to intellectual inquiry. The session concluded with a deep-dive Q&A, where students began investigating the atmosphere, terrain, and conditions of the Red Planet.
