Head of Academics Early Years - Primary

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Peace and blessings from St. Johannes Berchmans School.


Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make as a parent. It is a decision not only about academics, but about values, character, and the kind of person your child is becoming. At St. Johannes Berchmans School (JBS), we understand this deeply—and it is our commitment to walk with you in forming children who are not only intelligent, but compassionate, faith-filled, and purposeful.

As the Head of Academics for Early Years and Primary, I am proud to lead a program grounded in academic excellence, Catholic values, and holistic formation. Our approach is not only about teaching concepts—it is about forming hearts, shaping habits, and developing a lifelong love for truth, goodness, and service.

Our academic vision, “From Play to Purposeful Learning,” reflects the journey your child will take from the Early Years through Primary: beginning with joyful discovery, progressing to structured inquiry, and culminating in leadership, reflection, and readiness for the world ahead. From INLA and ADL in Preschool, to WOW Projects in Kindergarten, to Whitespace Formation Programs in Primary, every step is intentional, supported, and designed for growth.

We hold ourselves to high standards—not only in academics, but in discipline, formation, and care. At STJBS, your child will be known by name, guided by teachers who serve as mentors, and formed in a community that places Christ at the center.

As a school leader, and educator, I assure you that your child’s dignity, potential, and purpose will be protected and nurtured in our care. We do not simply prepare students for the next grade—we prepare them for life.

Head of Academics Secondary and Junior College

Dear parents, guardians, and students,

Peace and blessings from St. Johannes Berchmans School.


Welcome to St. Johannes Berchmans School (STJBS), where education extends beyond academics and is rooted in the Ignatian values of cura personalis—care for the whole person—and magis—the call to do more and be more.

At the Secondary and Junior College (SJC), we pair academic excellence with character formation and leadership development through three essential pillars:

  1. Culture – Our REACH values (Respect, Empathy, Acceptance, Compassion, Honesty) are lived out in traditions, inclusive classrooms, and daily practices that nurture character and faith.
  2. Leadership – Students are empowered to lead through roles, projects, and service initiatives.
  3. Academics – With trilingual instruction, inquiry-based learning, and critical thinking, students are challenged to reach their full potential.

We walk together in CLAP—Culture, Leadership, and Academic Preparedness—for Excellence, helping students grow, discover their talents, and shape their narrative.

For parents, SJC offers a rigorous curriculum blending Cambridge International and Indonesian Merdeka frameworks, holistic development of students, strong collaboration between home and school, and a commitment to adapt and evolve for the future.

Together, let us pursue magis—to do more, be more, and become our best selves for the greater glory of God and the good of others
