Sangkara School

Our Story

From a Bold Vision to a Thriving Cambridge Community

Founded in Medan under the visionary stewardship of Yayasan Pendidikan Nasional Sangkara, our school was born from a transformative conviction: that children in North Sumatra deserve a world-class Cambridge education that opens global pathways while keeping noble Indonesian values and moral character deeply rooted.

What began as an ambitious educational blueprint has grown into Medan’s premier Cambridge-accredited international school. From our foundational Kindergarten learning through to rigorous Cambridge Primary, Lower Secondary, and Upper Secondary pathways, Sangkara provides an immersive bilingual and multicultural environment where learners do not merely memorize facts—they inquire, question, innovate, and lead.

Today, our modern campus at Jl. Abadi stands as a proud testament to this mission. Supported by 100% Cambridge-certified educators, advanced STEM laboratories, rich arts spaces, and an inclusive school community, Sangkara continues to inspire each student to discover their true potential and graduate as confident, compassionate global leaders.

A Word From Our Founder

Nurturing Bright Minds, Anchoring Noble Character

“When we founded Sangkara, our dream was never simply to build classrooms, but to nurture a sanctuary of intellectual inquiry and moral integrity. We envisioned a school where our children master world-class Cambridge pathways, converse with confidence on global stages, yet remain humble, empathetic, and deeply proud of their Indonesian heritage. Seeing our students flourish into thoughtful, courageous leaders is our greatest honor.”
