The Intelligence
Schools don't pay to be listed here. Our reviews are independent, written for parents, not for schools.
If you want strong academics with a genuine Christian foundation and you're in South Jakarta, SPH Kemang is worth a look. The Kemang Village location is convenient, and the Cambridge-to-IB pathway is well-established.
The word among expat families is that SPH Kemang Village is the school for families who want strong academics with a genuine Christian foundation. Located in Kemang Village since 2010, it's more accessible than SPH's Lippo Village campus for families in South Jakarta. The curriculum combines Cambridge Primary and IGCSEs with IB Diploma in high school.
What comes up again and again is the Christian values. The faith-based approach creates a sense of belonging that secular schools can't match. Chapel services, Bible study, and Christian character education are woven into daily life. The flip side is that if you're not Christian or comfortable with faith being central, this isn't the school for you.
Fees run US$8.1K to US$26K - mid-range, making it accessible to self-funding families. The Kemang Village location is convenient for families already in South Jakarta. The Cambridge-to-IB pathway is well-established, and the academic standards are strong. Just know that faith is central to everything - if that's not your thing, look elsewhere.
+What parents value
- Kemang Village location in South Jakarta is convenient for families already in the area. More accessible than SPH's Lippo Village campus.
- Cambridge Primary and IGCSEs in middle school, then IB Diploma in high school - a well-established pathway that gives students internationally recognised qualifications at multiple stages.
- Christian values integrated throughout the curriculum - suits families who want faith-based education alongside strong academics.
- Fees at US$8.1K to US$26K are mid-range, making it accessible to self-funding families who want Christian values without premium prices.
- Founded in 2010, the campus has been running long enough to have credibility and an established approach to education.
−Points of consideration
- Faith is central to everything. Chapel services, Bible study, and Christian values are woven into daily life. If that's not your thing, this isn't the school for you.
- The student body is predominantly Indonesian Christian families. The expat community is smaller than at JIS or BSJ. If you want a more international mix, this might not fit.
- IB Diploma results aren't publicly available. If you're targeting top-tier universities, ask about individual results and university placements.
- The school doesn't publish detailed fee schedules, exam results, or leadership team profiles as openly as competitors. You'll need to contact admissions directly for specifics.
- At 800 students, extracurricular options are more limited than the bigger schools. Fewer sporting teams, fewer clubs, and narrower social circles.
