History of SIS

Surabaya Intercultural School is the only school in Surabaya accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), one of six regional associations that accredit public and private schools, colleges, and universities in the United States.

1971

Surabaya Intercultural School first opened its doors under the sponsorship of the American Consulate. Its goal was to provide students with an opportunity to acquire an internationally-based education. It began its operation with just 24 students.

1985

First accredited by WASC, SIS continues to pursue excellence in international education. The self-study and accreditation visits provide opportunities for our school community to reflect upon current practice and develop a plan to continue to move forward.

1995

As the school grew, it moved to the present campus, a site of 50,000 sq. meters located in Citra Raya, a self-contained city development in West Surabaya.
