Upper Secondary at Sophos
A Global Academic Journey Rooted in National Identity
About Upper Secondary Level
At Sophos School Indonesia, students in Grades 9–10 follow the International GCSE (IGCSE) curriculum, culminating in final examinations at the end of Grade 10, with a Matriculation Program available to support those transitioning from the national curriculum. In Grades 11–12, students advance to the International A Level system, with the option to take AS Level exams in Grade 11 and A2 Level exams in Grade 12, ultimately earning a full A Level Certificate over the two-year period.
National Curriculum
Sophos Indonesia Senior High School implements the Merdeka Curriculum for Phases E and F with international adaptations to support students’ development according to their interests, talents, and future goals. Phase E covers all core subjects as a foundation with a total of 44 lesson hours per week, while Phase F consists of mandatory and elective subjects chosen based on academic interests and career plans, such as science, business, and social humanities. Bahasa Indonesia is used as the medium of instruction for subjects like Bahasa Indonesia, Pancasila Education, and Religious Education, while a bilingual approach (Bahasa Indonesia & English) is applied to other subjects and daily interactions. This curriculum is integrated with the International GCSE and A Level programs, equipping students with strong academic foundations, strong character, and readiness to compete both nationally and internationally.
Movie Making
As part of the Merdeka Curriculum implementation, Sophos School Indonesia involves students in a class-based film project where they create original films from concept to production. These films are showcased at official school events, providing a platform for creativity, collaboration, and public performance. The project also incorporates business management elements, with students planning budgets, managing teams, and promoting their work—cultivating both artistic abilities and an entrepreneurial mindset.
