Just something to consider.
This is coming from a student.
It pains me to admit that this school is very much mismanaged. More expensive than even more prestigious schools. Small, limited facilities, and teachers with less than admirable credentials.
But don't blame the teachers, they're underpaid, too.
A chronic lack of understanding of A-level exams leads to absolutely disastrous results. An 'unmarked' grade is the norm, especially for those taking English. A*s are literally nowhere to be seen, and As are a rare breed.
All of this is made worse by an apathy for academics. School management seem to put marketing and image management above pupil achievement, this shows itself in the incompetence with regards to interschool competitions. Just this month (Sept '17), more than 4 interschool competitions have been cancelled not because of a lack of student interest, but because of failure of bureaucracy on the school's part.
I'd say a lot of my higher education dreams have been shattered. I don't profess to have the evidence to blame the school directly, all I can say is that my friends studying at other institutions are now thinking of applying to universities with names like 'Berkeley' or 'ICL', while I'd be stuck in this country for the foreseeable future.
It's a good school if you have money to burn, do not want the best in education, or just obsessed with Christian fundamentalism.
I really, really hope reforms can be made, but I've got to be honest in my review.
BUT
on an honestly positive note, the classes here are so small, you won't have any trouble making longtime friends, so the school has that going for it.

Sangat kurang menghargai kinerja guru, prestasi guru tidak pernah dilihat dikala sebuah kesalahan yang tidak di konfirmasi/dibuktikan kebenarannya oleh sekolah dan pihak yang bersalah, dijadikan alasan untuk memecat guru.
Jadi berhati-hatilah ketika diberikan penawaran atau menerima kompensasi dari sekolah tersebut, tidak terjebak akan situasi yang hanya terlihat oleh mata. Pelajari atau banyaklah bertanya kepada guru/staff yang sudah berpengalaman bekerja di sekolah tersebut. Karena kinerja anda sangat perlu dihargai dan jenjang karir anda sangat berarti dalam hidup anda sendiri. Bukan karena Anda bergereja bernaung dengan sekolah tersebut, namun karena memang anda memberikan prestasi yang baik sehingga membuat harum nama sekolah dimana anda mengajar.

I would definitely give a 0 star review, but unfortunately 1 star is the lowest I could give.
The school is terrible. And as a former student of the school, I regret to ever study there.
The school has a lot of teachers are just plain terrible. Examples of these teachers are the ones who don't teach at all and tells us to "self-study" the entire book, the ones who would just throw worksheets at us and tell us to just do it and look for the answers in the textbook despite the fact that nothing on the worksheet has been taught, the ones who comes in to the class to gossip about things that are going around amongst the teacher and students of other levels and there are the ones who takes favouritism to a whole new level.
I feel like I have to touch on the subject of favouritism as it is the most common issue I've seen in the school. Favouritism happens in every single class and it is usually spotted by how the teacher gives a particular student the best grade despite of the student not exactly deserving of it. This usually happens to those who have connections to the school board of directors. And another example is that those students who have connections to the school board of directors would be given better treatment and chances in maximising their potential. So, yes, it is a huge issue.
The school cares about nothing but money. They don't even care about students and it is seen by how they never want to invest in better facilities and teachers, despite the expensive tuition fees students are required to pay each year, including activity fees and other fees. With a lot of terrible quality teachers and so few great teachers (who are underrated and underpaid), they still have the neck to expect A*s in the Cambridge examinations.
This school used to be great and fun for everyone. The teachers used to be great and all that. But it went downhill when they started replacing foreign teachers with locals and high quality teacher to low quality teachers to cut costs. Some can't even speak English properly, despite teaching an English-based subject and some just don't speak English at all. (And they still are brave enough to promote that the school is an international school despite having hired a lot of teachers that don't speak English well.) And that's where the quality of the school declined massively.
Now, the school is terrible and not one bit fun in any way. Students' potentials are wasted, as chances of maximizing potential are only given to students with connection to the school board of directors. And students are treated so unfairly amongst each other. They treat students differently. They treat the ones with connection to the school board of directors better than the regular ones. And that's just messed up. The school have taught us to treat people equally, yet this is what they do. Very hypocritical, if you ask me.
Students are also forced to think and be certain ways just to "fit in" into their weird criteria, which has personally caused severe insecurity issues, anxiety and minor depression at one point.
They also have this weirdly fanatical view of Christianity and constantly implies that they're the best and their church is the best and all that, which I find super annoying at times. And there are also some people who just acts super saint-like to promote their church but is actually probably worse than any of us.
The school is just plain horrible since they only cared about money and their fanatical views and church (which they constantly promotes) and I won't ever recommend anyone to enroll here.

A wasted potential.

Potent traffic generator. Underperforming staff reflected by their students' performance in the Cambridge International Examinations. They pretty much accept anyone who can pay their way into the school. They have no standards for intelligence to the point that getting the grade "U" in IGCSEs is regarded as a norm. Great school if you're looking forward to burn some cash and your future but otherwise, I suggest applying to other schools in the area.

Terrible management, teachers are not getting the recognition and respect they deserve, and staff are severely underpaid for their efforts. Students are terribly exhausted; satisfaction levels are as low as the Mariana Trench, and teachers don't seem to care for their overall experience in education. Facilities are highly overestimated and poorly budgeted. This is taken to account how much students are forced to pay their monthly expenses for enrollment. School doesn't even know that their students are experiencing extreme discomfort, stress, anxiety and even depression because of how taxing the current curriculum is. For the sake of your children, please HIGHLY reconsider if you plan to enroll. For teachers, you deserve better. Wasting Rp.50 million for enrollment and Rp. 4-4.5 (subject to increase) million each month isn't worth it. You shouldn't even CONSIDER this school as an option once you've read this review.

Limited facilities and too many "local teachers" for an International curriculum based school.
