The 20th Anniversary of Ichthus Schools
20 years ago, our founding director, Mrs SeeMun Suparno, in her prayers to look for the right school for her children, was inspired with a vision which became a promise, a promise to God to start a school to prepare students to strive for excellence in a global society and to glorify God through their daily walk.
Ichthus started from a one building campus in the West Jakarta offering primary education and progressively expanded to the current 2 campuses in West and South Jakarta with classes ranging from primary to high school. In the span of only 20 years, the transformation stories of Ichthusians achieved through the dedication of passionate leaders and teachers has been nothing less than remarkable.Â
Every single year, each cohort of Ichthusians make us proud by breaking new records and setting new highs in the national and international arena. Â Join us as we chronologize the 20 remarkable years of transformation in Ichthus Schools. We are honored and blessed to be a part of the transformative journey of our students and we look forward to many great years ahead.Â
