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 education curriculum attracted very positive response from discerning Indonesian parents who believes in our brand of education and those from the international communities as well. 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 testimony to the international recognition and branding of Singapore education.
To enlarge and enhance the bandwidth and exchange of professional ideas and advice, 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 schools’ leadership, they have prospered, consistently contributing to the ASEAN Scholarship and Singapore’s school-based scholarship programmes, trans-national experiences and fostering a close and very positive relationship between Indonesia and Singapore.
After more than 20 years, PIAGET Academy has evolved into not only educating the hearts of students, but preparing them for the complexities of the 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 three schools in Indonesia located in Jakarta and Surabaya. It has offices in Singapore and Jakarta.
