IPEKA Integrated Christian School

Most of the local teachers employed here do not speak English really well. Classes are taught in Indonesian despite their claim that courses are delivered in English. That is one of the many reasons why they have such low number of students. BPK Penabur or SPH are more recommended over IICS. They changed their name from Ipeka International to Ipeka Integrated simply because they lied to people at first - this school is never an international school.nnTo parents: Please do your research, do not be amazed only by the facility. Facilities are available, however, with many restrictions along the way before students can actually use them. The school fees are expensive not because of the quality of their education, but more because of their decreasing revenue over time due to the decreasing number of students. The students who have accomplishment outside the academic materials (music, art, sport) are not a product of IICS, but, they learned those skills outside school, yet IICS, without doubt, took credits for it.nnUpdate 8/29/2020:nNow, after their reply, they said things that are very irrelevant to my previous points. In addition to that, they said that they hope to hear from me personally. I sent an email to the school's email and they did not respond at all. All they are doing here is just to make the school looks good, as if they are responding to their emails, even though if it is not. Please, find another school. The normal Ipeka is a lot better than this one (although still, other schools such as Penabur, SPH, or Ghandi are way better than any Ipeka), this school is simply a ripoff, you pay the expensive tuition only for their facilities, which most of the time can only be accessed by the teachers. So, technically, if you enroll your children to this school, you are paying the teachers' school facilities, their free trips by joining the students' trips (they never pay, they only sneakily put a price so that their expenses are covered). They will come up with multiple reasons so that your children won't be able to use the facilities you've paid for.nnAnother piece of advice: Avoid Moses Simbolon, Yang Wi Supandi, Elviani Sugianto, Aldjento Ondy, Paul Ludwig, Eko Sulistiyono, Bonauili Sitindaon, Marcelo Stanley, Franky Tanuwijaya, Luke Eka Putra (all pictures below) at all cost - these guys are total fraud, non-English speaker, never teach anything in English, does not understand English when the students speak in English, only enjoy the free rides provided by the students' expensive tuition. Some or all these people may not be at IICS anymore, but beware, make sure these people are not in the school you want to enroll your children into.nnUpdate 9/24/2020:nI believe it is better for me to convey my opinions through this platform instead of through email. The reason for that is because by using this platform, all people can read this and understand the actual reality of the school. Through email, it will only be between me and the school, and other people who may be thinking of enrolling their children will not be able to know about this. Now, my question is, what is the school's plan to deal with the non-English-speaking teachers in an Integrated school? I believe most parents expected their children's English to improve by enrolling their children to this school and willing to pay the hefty expensive tuition fee. The goal here is not to convey my personal opinion, however, to let all people know what they are getting themselves into by enrolling their children to this school, which I think is fair since they have the right to know what they are going to pay for.

Absolutely trash. All the reviews above 4 are teachers, staff, or students forced to give good reviews

For Senior High School Future Parents/students, please explore more informations about this school as much as you can before you decide to register, not just base on their facilities.nnFor IICS parties :nWe suggest you to reflect and review many things in your systems :n1. The qualities of some teachers are incompetent in delivering their responsibilities and doing the assessment for students,n2. Majority there are no rooms for students to take discussion and express what they are thinkingn3. The most important is IICS Senior High School NEVER THINK about their majority students's futures

IPEKA has good vision and mission in educating children since the early childhood. My children have been studying in IPEKA since they were in Nursery. I see how their character and faith are growing. Off course parents need to educate their children as well because we are responsible for their education. Choosing the right school is important for their life.
