Ipeka School

What Ipeka School does

IPEKA Christian School is a non-profit K-12 educational organization operating under the Yayasan Iman Pengharapan dan Kasih (IPEKA Foundation), founded in Jakarta in 1978 by Rev. DR. William Hodaviah Hosana and operating its first school on July 16, 1979 with 5 teachers and 100 students. Today it serves approximately 11,500 students with 1,300 teachers and staff across 16 campuses in Jakarta Barat, Jakarta Utara, Tangerang, Bekasi, Palembang, Balikpapan, and Makassar. The organization delivers education from Nursery through Senior High via two principal tracks: the IPEKA National Program, which layers the proprietary ICE (IPEKA Christian Education) Curriculum onto Indonesia's National Curriculum with Creation-Fall-Redemption-Consummation philosophy and English/Mandarin enrichment, and the IPEKA International Program at selected campuses (IICS, IPEKA BSD, Palembang, CPI), which integrates International Baccalaureate or Pearson Edexcel with the National Emancipated Curriculum.

The technology stack is anchored on Google for Education — Chromebooks and Google Classroom are deployed as the primary digital learning environment, and IPEKA BSD was designated the first Google for Education Reference School in Indonesia by Google Asia Pacific. Pedagogy is delivered through the proprietary iLEAD framework (Internal Growth, Leadership, Entrepreneurship, Acquisition of Skills, Digital Literacy & Numeracy) and the IPEKA IDEA project-based learning program (design thinking and challenge-based learning for Grade 4+). Affiliations with the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and the Synod of Gereja Kristus Yesus (GKY) provide international and ecclesial backstop, while wholly owned subsidiaries — Arrowstar Kindergarten and IPEKA Counseling Center (est. 1996) — extend the offering into early childhood education and psychological/career counseling services.

Revenue flows almost exclusively from recurring tuition fees across the National and International programs (subscription-style, recurring revenue model). The school does not publicly disclose tuition pricing, and detailed financial metrics are unavailable because IPEKA is a non-profit foundation. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: families enroll through dedicated admission portals (psb.ipeka.org and pmb.ipeka.org), with marketing conducted via the ipeka.org website, campus-dedicated Instagram accounts, parent-facing content articles, and university visit events. Distribution is fully physical and domestic, anchored in 16 owned-and-operated campuses with no evidence of online or international program delivery.
