- Being Part of the SPH Team
Together, we nurture a loving and supportive community in Christ
Since 1993, SPH has committed to providing both Indonesian and expatriate families with excellent Christian education,
where we focus on academic excellence, faith, character building, and personal growth. More than a school facility or a regular workplace, SPH is a community, a team, walking hand in hand in our ministry through international Christian education with our faith in Christ as our foundation.
SPH forms part of a ministry of educational institutions under Yayasan Pendidikan Pelita Harapan (YPPH), with almost 60 schools throughout Indonesia. YPPH offers a Christ-centered western style of education taught in Bahasa Indonesia. YPPH has extended education opportunities in the mountainous area of Papua, where education facilities are limited. Watch this video to see a glimpse of our school as part of a bigger mission:

Rachel Feather
Teacher at SPH Pluit Village
As a teacher with a passion for international ministry, SPH was the perfect fit for me. Initially intending to stay for just a few years, I have now been a part of this incredible community for a decade. SPH has provided me with the opportunity to grow both as a teacher and a leader, allowing me to teach students at every level, from elementary to high school. Through professional development opportunities, I have gained various skills and a deeper understanding of how to be most effective in the classroom. But what I love most about SPH is the sense of family within the school community, from my colleagues to the students. Additionally, being part of YPPH and its efforts to raise passionate young people across Indonesia has been a truly inspiring experience.
Helen Schleper
Head of School at SPH Lippo Village
At SPH, my professional growth as an educator is a top priority. With weekly in-house professional development sessions, external opportunities for training, and designated professional development days, there are endless opportunities for growth. From attending IB training to ACSI leadership conferences, I have been able to expand my skills and knowledge in the field. The school also provides a platform for networking with educators from all five SPH campuses. I am grateful to be part of a community that values professional development and invests in the growth of its educators.
Mark Thiessen
Head of School at SPH Kemang Village
I love the community at SPH. Although we are a big system of five schools with hundreds of employees and over two thousand students, we retain a strong connection to one another through our shared mission and vision. We are all working toward the same desired outcomes, and this commonality is stronger than any differences that might be present based on the diversity of our team. Additionally, I love that SPH strongly focuses on growth and improvement. As schools, we will never be good enough–we will always seek ways to improve.
Natasha Caroline
Teacher at SPH Sentul City
At SPH, I have found a community that is not only passionate and supportive but also feels like family. The SC family has been a source of inspiration and growth for me professionally and personally. The school’s commitment to its employees’ development is evident through regular professional development sessions and opportunities to attend workshops and collaborate with educators from other schools. It’s a privilege to be part of a school that values its employees in many ways.
Alex Tho
Head of School at SPH Pluit Village
The sense of community at SPH is truly special, and I feel grateful to have experienced it at three out of the five campuses. While each campus has its own unique qualities, the supportive community has been a constant source of personal growth for me. The school’s commitment to professional and spiritual development is evident through a wide range of opportunities, from in-house professional development to external conferences and leadership roles. I am thankful to be part of a community that values personal and professional growth.
Rayfel Rori
ICT Staff at SPH Lippo Village
SPH has been instrumental in my professional growth, offering a variety of resources and opportunities to enhance my skills beyond the three annual professional development sessions. For example, the school has facilitated access to some of the best English courses in Jakarta, helping me improve my language proficiency. In addition, as an IT professional, I have benefited from Microsoft Azure courses that have improved my job-related skills. I appreciate the school’s commitment to providing a comprehensive approach to professional development that goes beyond traditional training sessions.
Angela Chandra
Senior Marketing Associate at SPH Kemang Village
When I first applied to SPH, I wasn’t even sure where God was calling me to be. But during the interview process, I knew that SPH was different. It started with a prayer asking God for guidance and discernment. And though the position offered wasn’t what I was looking for, I felt at peace saying “yes” at the time.
What makes SPH different is the people and how all of them are rooted in Christ and living out the same vision and mission. At SPH, we understand that though we might not be perfect, we can still walk hand in hand to grow together as lifelong learners. In addition to that, with regular chapel time and professional development dedicated for the teachers and staff, we are empowered to keep growing and learning.
SPH is not just a workplace, it’s a second home with people who are just like a family.
Ryan Fawcett
Science Teacher at SPH Pluit Village
When my family and I first arrived in Jakarta, we didn’t quite know what to expect other than a hunch that SPH was a tight-knit community. We quickly discovered that it was that, but even more so. The leaders all did a fantastic job of making us feel welcome and orienting me to my new teaching position, as well as supporting us as we faced unforeseen health challenges in the first few months. Their care for us was a huge gift, and a testimony to how the school values loving others as Jesus loves us.
The staff and my colleagues have been wonderful to work with as well. Everyone here loves and cares for the students in their own unique way. There’s plenty of opportunities to grow both professionally and spiritually here at SPH.
Selwyn Khoo
Director of Marketing at SPH Central Office
SPH is a place that invite ideas. It’s a place that encourages you to try new things and take your work to the next level. I had the opportunity in abundance to improve and introduce new ways of work. That greatly helps a leader when you are able to figure out on what works best to build a robust team and continuously get better at the work we do. More importantly it’s not just to elevate the quality of work but to bless and positively impact the larger community of students, parents and teachers. What a joy and privilege to be in a place that allows you do just that!
