At PIAGET Academy, we see education as a journey that goes far beyond textbooks. It is about nurturing values, shaping character, and guiding students to develop the confidence and skills they need to flourish in today’s fast-changing world.
Established in 2001 by Mr William and Mrs Daisy Yiu, PIAGET Academy was founded on a vision to blend timeless values with a progressive curriculum. Drawing inspiration from Singapore’s world-class education system, the Academy adopts and refines this model to meet the needs of families in Indonesia. This approach has gained the confidence of both Indonesian and international parents who value an education that is rigorous, well-rounded, and globally relevant.
The adoption and adaptation of the Singapore curriculum received a very positive response from discerning Indonesian parents and families in the international community who shared our educational values. The success of NationalHigh Jakarta School in Jakarta also attracted many like-minded parents in other Indonesian cities, and some requested Mr Yiu to enter into joint ventures with them to set up similar schools in their respective cities.
Mr Yiu successfully applied to the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB) for the schools in Indonesia to be the authorised centres for the implementation of the International PSLE (Primary School Leaving Examination). The eager acceptance of the examination from the Indonesian community and the schools is a testament to the international recognition and branding of Singapore education.
To broaden opportunities for the exchange of professional ideas, expertise, and advise, Mr Yiu successfully invited several international education practitioners, including representatives from Singapore and Australia, to form an independent Board of Governors (BOG) of the schools.
Under Mr Yiu’s stewardship and the leadership of their respective teams, the schools have prospered, consistently contributing to the ASEAN Scholarship and Singapore’s school-based scholarship programmes, transnational experiences and fostering a close and very positive relationship between Indonesia and Singapore.
Over more than 20 years, PIAGET Academy has evolved while remaining committed not only to educating students’ hearts and minds, but also to preparing them for the complexities of an ever-changing world. – facilitating and equipping them with the mindset and essential skills to connect the dots in their lives to help them drive meaningful change to make this world a better place.
Piaget Academy operates two schools in Indonesia, located in Jakarta and Surabaya. It has offices in Singapore and Jakarta.
