IB Continuum education is offered: Primary Years Programme (Playgroup – Grade 6), Middle Years Programme (Grades 7–10) and Diploma Programme (Grades 11–12). The PYP is an inquiry-based framework that emphasizes knowledge, skills and attitudes to develop active, independent learners and international mindedness. The PYP curriculum is transdisciplinary with six Units of Inquiry; English is the language of instruction, Bahasa Indonesia forms part of the core curriculum, and Mandarin is offered as an additional language. A Grade 6 Exhibition marks the culmination of the PYP, and a Graduation Certificate from the Indonesian Ministry of Education is awarded to PYP 6 students who meet requirements. The MYP continues the inquiry-based approach with eight subject groups and enables service-learning and leadership opportunities, and English is the language of instruction in all MYP subjects except Bahasa Indonesia, Civics and Religion, which are taught separately to align with government regulations. The MYP culminates in a Personal Project in Grade 10 and supports a pathway to the Diploma Programme with college counselling; the Diploma Programme is delivered in English and provides a two-year pre-university study with external examinations. Students select from DP Core (TOK, EE, CAS) and six subject groups, with options including Language and Literature, Language Acquisition (English, Indonesian, Mandarin), Arts, Mathematics, Sciences, and Individuals and Societies; there are Diploma Programme pathways (IB DP, IB Courses, Sekolah Ciputra Courses).
