Welcoming Mr. Ben Clapperton to SPH Kemang Village

We are delighted to introduce the newest member of our faculty, Dr. Ben Clapperton, who is joining the SPH Kemang Village family! We're excited for him to share his passion for education and his unique background with our students.

Originally from the UK, Dr. Clapperton holds a PhD in Statistics from King’s College London. His journey has taken him across continents, from teaching university students and mentoring young professionals in data science to now stepping into the vibrant world of middle school education. His decision to join SPH was shaped by a strong desire to teach in a faith-based environment, where both hearts and minds are nurtured.

Dr. Clapperton believes that every student has potential waiting to be unlocked, and he strives to create a classroom where students feel safe, seen, and supported. He values curiosity, critical thinking, and resilience, which are skills he sees as vital in academia and elsewhere in life. His Christian faith deeply influences his teaching, encouraging students to grow in both wisdom and character, and to view learning as part of God’s call to stewardship and service.

Outside the classroom, Dr. Clapperton is a dedicated husband and father, who enjoys family adventures around Jakarta. He’s also a passionate football player, playing for the Jakarta Vikings. When he’s not on the pitch, you might find him enjoying a good book, crafting data-driven projects, or designing creative learning experiences.

Dr. Clapperton is especially excited about the opportunity to integrate faith and learning at SPH Kemang Village, and to walk alongside students as they grow intellectually and spiritually. He sees this season as a meaningful new chapter, and is eager to contribute to a Christ-centered learning community.

Please join us in warmly welcoming Dr. Ben Clapperton to SPH Kemang Village!
