Its hard to describe what makes Chandra Kusuma School different, if for no other reason than whenever we try to distinguish ourselves many other schools claim to do the same. What I am sure of is that nobody in Medan offers the level of education we provide for the amount we charge.
When a student enters any school they are to some degree limited by the knowledge of their teachers. Subjects and teaching methods obviously continually expand, develop and improve after teachers complete their initial training. With this in mind we continually educateour teachers to top up their knowledge. It is our firm belief that education is not a phase that children go through, but is a philosophy to live your life by.
Students today live in a digital world (even with the power cuts and slow internet), and this is effectively doing the same on a global scale. Digital media is turbo-charging innovation, education and understanding on a global scale for everybody with access to it. Schools must task themselves with providing students with the motivation to use this media, and teachers with the ability to disseminate, explain, and critically evaluate this information. If we can do that we will be able to bypass many of the problems holding students back while Indonesia is striving to catch up with the developed world.
Effectively we aim to provide an environment which not only teaches students, but fills them with an overwhelming desire to learn and better themselves. If you take nothing else from reading this article, and regardless of whether you come to, or send your child to this school, I hope I have passed on one small piece of information. Every time you have to force your child to learn, you have already failed in their education, because truly great people are driven by enthusiasm, education is just the box they stand on while working, but should be the motivation that drives them.



Chandra Kusuma is a great small school with great facilities. Since the number of students per class is limited to a maximum of 24 students, there is ample one-on-one attention from teachers. There is an extensive extra-curricular program which offers students a wide range of sporting, art and educational activities. School events (such as Sports Day, School Camp, Charity Bazaar, Art & Music Night, etc) are organized together by students and teachers, it gives us some experiences in working with people and also building togetherness. Chandra Kusuma has made my university life so much easier since the teaching system does not focus mainly on theories. Field trips are held at least once a year in every grade to encourage students to apply what they have learned in real environment. The tests given are not only written, but could be in practical, presentation or a group/individual project which help students not to only memorize but really understand the lesson. Another plus point is students are motivated to speak only English or Indonesian language inside school, and punishments that educate will be given to those who do not obey, such as writing stories in English or Indonesian. Chandra Kusuma also makes sure that students are ready for college or university. I think this is how I reached this stage today and I take this opportunity to thank everyone at Chandra Kusuma.
