Academically, Sedaya Bintang adopts a hybrid curriculum that combines Indonesia’s Merdeka Curriculum, Pearson Edexcel’s International Curriculum (UK-based), and Singapore’s Mathematics Curriculum. Its approach emphasizes character education, trilingual learning (Mandarin, English, Indonesian), and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics). The school also embraces Holistic Education, aiming to nurture students intellectually, emotionally, socially, physically, artistically, and spiritually.
Soegianto Nagaria, Chairman of the Sedaya Bintang Education Foundation, expressed his hopes for the school's impact. “I hope the presence of this school will realize high-quality education for Indonesia’s bright future,” he stated. He also thanked the parents who entrusted their children’s education to Sedaya Bintang.
To support this vision, teacher capacity-building is a top priority. Ongoing professional development includes training with international experts like Prof. Pei-Jung Lin and Dr. Yeap Ban Har. Through a Community of Practice model, teachers are encouraged to share best practices, reflect on their teaching, and continue growing professionally.
