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.
Korean Language
Sophos School Indonesia is proud to be one of the very few schools in the Jabodetabek area that offers a Korean language program. Students begin learning from the very basics — starting with reading Hangeul (the Korean alphabet system) — and progress towards being able to hold simple daily conversations, deliver short presentations, and explore the richness of Korean culture.
Sophos School Indonesia는 Jabodetabek 지역에서 한국어 과정을 개설한 소수의 학교 중 하나입니다. 학생들은 한글을 배우며 기초를 다지고, 일상 대화와 자기 표현을 통해 한국 문화를 즐겁게 배워갑니다.
This year, we established a sister school partnership with Samsan High School in Incheon, South Korea. Through this collaboration, our students have the valuable opportunity to participate in cultural exchange, connect with Korean peers, and broaden their global perspectives beyond the classroom.
또한 올해 Sophos School Indonesia는 인천에 있는 삼산고등학교와 자매학교 협약을 맺었습니다. 이를 통해 학생들은 문화 교류 활동에 참여하고, 한국 또래들과 교류하며, 교실을 넘어 더 넓은 글로벌 시각을 기를 수 있는 의미 있는 배움의 기회를 갖게 됩니다.
