At Rimbun, every lesson starts with a question the children care about. Our job is to make sure they leave with the tools to answer it.

Curriculum highlights

  • Bilingual by design

    Half of each week runs in Bahasa Indonesia and half in English, so students can think and write in both.

  • Project-based units

    Each unit ends in a real product: a model, a report, a performance or a community survey.

  • Cambridge enrichment

    Cambridge English and mathematics enrichment from Grade 6, alongside the national curriculum.

  • Character first

    Respect, curiosity and responsibility are taught and assessed. Lessons are open to every faith and family background.

Where learning happens

  • Library

    Two floors of books in Indonesian and English, with reading nooks facing the garden.

  • Science Labs

    Four labs for physics, chemistry and biology, open to students from Grade 5 onward.

  • Organic Garden

    A 1,200 m² garden where younger pupils grow vegetables and study the seasons.
