SPH Kemang Village Parent's Portal

Our recent Parent Session on Wednesday, 11 February 2025, “Entrusted to Us: Disciplining the Next Generation”  by Jacqui Harmeling was truly insightful. We explored practical ways to guide our children biblically, helping them grow into responsible and Godly leaders of the future. Parenting is a journey filled with both challenges and joys, a continuous walk with God as He leads us daily. Sessions like these remind us to remain grounded in His truth and principles, guiding our children along the right path with wisdom and love. We sincerely thank all parents who participated in this session. For those who were unable to attend, you can access the presentation materials  and audio recording below : At SPH Kemang Village, we believe that parenting is not a journey to be walked alone. As partners in education, we are here to support you every step of the way. Parent sessions like this are designed to equip and encourage you as you guide your children in God’s truth. We look forward to welcoming you at our next parent session!

At SPH Kemang Village, excellence in education is a continuous journey. To serve our students well, we consistently reflect and enhance our spaces, programs, and practices. Every improvement is guided by our academic vision of rigor, relevance, relationship, and restoration, ensuring our campus remains a place where students flourish in True Knowledge, Faith in Christ, and Godly Character. With excitement, we share that several major facility enhancements have been approved for the 2026–2027 school year, all designed to support student-centered learning and growth. Upcoming Facilities Improvements Makerspace Expansion & New Robotics Lab (6th Floor) Our Makerspace will undergo a major upgrade and expansion, including the addition of a dedicated Robotics Lab in the current Senior School Library area. We believe STEM learning must be hands-on — where students design, build, test, and refine ideas while developing problem-solving skills, creativity, collaboration, and confidence. This enhanced space will support Senior School subjects such as Design Technology, Maths, and Science, while also enriching Junior School project-based learning. New Senior School Research & Discovery Lab (5th Floor) A new Senior School Research and Discovery Lab  will be built in a central and accessible location on the 5th floor. This space will become a vibrant hub for research, collaboration, and creative thinking. Students will learn to find, evaluate, and use information wisely — an essential skill in today’s information-rich world. The Research Lab will continue to provide access to selected print resources while expanding opportunities for digital research and innovation. Green Room Enhancements (8th Floor) Our drama program has been growing each year, and to support our students, we are enhancing the Green Room (backstage) . We know that every great performance on stage begins with careful preparation behind the scenes, and this upgrade will provide a more functional and supportive space for our student performers. Campus Restroom Enhancements In addition to these academic-focused developments, we will also enhance and upgrade campus restrooms across the school from the Ground Floor to the 8th Floor, ensuring they continue to meet our standards for safety, comfort, and student well-being. As shared in the email from Mr. Dale (Our Head of School) on Monday, 9 February , these enhancements are more than physical upgrades — they are opportunities for our students to flourish even more. Through these spaces, students become thoughtful problem-solvers, innovators, and creators who move from consuming knowledge to producing meaningful solutions. They will gain real-world skills, learn to collaborate, and develop agency, voice, and ownership over their learning. We are excited about these improvements and the ways they will help our students explore, create, and grow. Thank you for your continued support, and stay tuned for more updates as these spaces come to life for our community.

SPH Kemang Village is proud to celebrate the outstanding achievement of Abraham Hutapea (Grade 8) , who recently represented both his school and team with excellence at the National Gokart Championship – EShark ROK Cup Indonesia 2026 Round 1 . The event took place on 24–25 January 2026  at the Gokart International Circuit in Sentul, West Java, and brought together young racers from across Indonesia. In this highly competitive national event, Abraham achieved 2nd Place in the Junior Non-Seeded category  and 3rd Place in the Junior Newbie category . These results mark a meaningful milestone in his journey as a young athlete and demonstrate consistent growth in performance. Just one season prior, Abraham finished in 5th place , making this year’s podium finishes a testament to his dedication, perseverance, and commitment to improvement. Abraham has shown strong discipline and focus both on and off the track. His achievement reflects not only technical growth in racing, but also the development of character—resilience, patience, and a growth mindset—that aligns with the values we seek to nurture at SPH Kemang Village. As a school, we believe that true success comes from holistic education, where students are encouraged to develop their God-given talents beyond the classroom. We are thankful for the opportunity to witness Abraham’s journey and celebrate his progress. His accomplishment reflects the Eagle Spirit  of SPH Kemang Village—soaring higher through hard work, integrity, and perseverance. We pray that Abraham will continue to grow in wisdom and character, continue to excel beyond the classroom, and remain grounded in humility. May he use every opportunity and achievement to bring glory to God in all that he does . We congratulate Abraham on this remarkable achievement and look forward to seeing how he continues to grow and thrive in the years ahead.

Dear Grade 9 & 10 Parents, We are pleased to extend a special invitation for you to consider enrolling your child in our upcoming PSAT preparation classes . Beginning next year, many Top 50 universities worldwide are making the SAT a mandatory component of their admissions process. Strong performance on the SAT not only increases admission prospects but also lays a solid scholarly foundation for college success. According to the College Board, the PSAT and SAT share approximately a 90% concordance rate. The PSAT, however, is particularly advantageous for Grade 9 and 10 students, as it emphasizes core skills and familiarizes students with the test format early, allowing them to become truly test-ready. The course will be taught by Mr. Stephen, an American University graduate and a 15-year veteran SAT instructor who has successfully helped many international students in Jakarta improve their SAT scores by 150–200 points. He has thoughtfully designed this PSAT course specifically for SPH-KV students. With great enthusiasm, I highly recommend this program and encourage you to allow your child to participate. The class will run for four weeks beginning February 18, meeting three hours on Wednesdays and three hours on Saturdays. Detailed schedule, fees, and contact information can be found here below. Blessings in Christ, Dr. Abraham Chung College & Career Counselor abraham.chung@sph.ac.id

Now and Not Yet By Ruth Chou Simons https://watch.studygateway.com/now-and-not-yet-ruth-chou-simons Waiting on the Lord for direction, answers, or strength can be challenging. We can sometimes view waiting as wasted time. But God often uses waiting to make us more like Christ, and to teach us things about his character that we'll only learn while we wait. In this 6-video session series , Ruth Chou Simons explores six biblical narratives that put God's faithfulness to waiting people on display and helps us shift our gaze from the answers we're seeking to the God who meets us while we wait. Session 1: God Keeps His Promises (Feb 5) Session 2: God's Sovereignty Directs a Bigger Story (Feb 12) Session 3: God Provides in the Wilderness (Feb 19) Session 4: God Hears Your Cries (Feb 26) Session 5: God's Sufficiency Meets Your Weakness (Mar 5) Session 6: God's Sanctifying Work is Sure (Mar 12) Come and Join us for six Thursdays, Starting February 5, from 10:00 – 12:00 at VIP Room, G Floor.

Join us for our Community Sports Event on Saturday, February 21, starting at 8:00 AM at the SPH Gym (7th Floor).    Parents and teachers are invited to come together for a fun and friendly competition in basketball (male teams) and mixed-gender volleyball. Come play, cheer, and strengthen our community through sport!   Registration:   🏀  Basketball: +6281231494338 (Pak Jemmy)  🏐 Volleyball: +60162815425 (Ibu Sadie)     For more information, please contact Mr. Ian ( christian.ymas@sph.ac.id )

January 13 unfolded like a compass moment for the KV community, pointing students toward future paths while grounding them firmly in faith. The University Fair began in chapel, where two speakers shared personal faith journeys intertwined with their college experiences. Ms. Kathleen, a BIOLA graduate, reflected on how God faithfully led her from China to Biola and eventually to SPH KV. Ms. Myeisha followed, sharing her time as a praise night leader and how God continued to be real and present throughout her college life. Both speakers emphasized the importance of intentional prayer and staying in tune with God in order to remain faithful Christians during college years. After chapel, students moved to the gym, where 41 university representatives from the UK, Australia, Singapore, China, Canada, and Hong Kong were waiting. Alongside their parents, students confidently navigated the fair using 13 prescriptive questions to gather information for college and career decisions. Administrators and teachers were present, offering guidance and encouragement throughout the process. A unique highlight was the inclusion of Grade 8 students. Many of them approached the fair with confidence, visiting more than seven booths and asking thoughtful, intelligent questions. Overall, the day strengthened our community, impressed visiting universities, and reminded us to praise and thank God for such a day together.

Dear Grade 8-12 Parents,   I have the distinct joy of announcing the upcoming SPH KV University Fair 2026. We are privileged to have 40 universities represented during our Uni-Fair on Tuesday, January 13, from 11:00 AM to 12:35 PM. We hope you will make time to participate with your child(ren) to ask college-admission-related questions. Please feel free to ask both specific and general questions about the universities, their surrounding cities, academic programs, scholarship opportunities, and Christian communities and churches in and around campus. For your reference, here are a few sample questions: What are your strongest majors/programs? What scholarships are available for interna onal students? Cost of living? Tui on? What housing and student-support services are offered? What internships, research, and career services are available? If my child wants to major in ________, what IGCSE/IB subjects are useful for him/her? What clubs, socie es, ac vi es or student organiza ons can my child join? Are there Chris an-based communi es or interna onal student associa ons? Are there any good Chris an churches near your campus? How safe is the campus and surrounding area? We also encourage you to review the attached list of participating universities (listed below) in advance so you can plan which booths to visit. Also, please note that G9 students will be away on the Jogja trip between Jan. 12-15 ; however, parents are welcome to attend and ask questions on their behalf. Kindly, know that other SPH campuses will also host their university fairs: SPH-LV (Jan. 7, Wed., 12:30PM-3PM) SPH-Cikarang (Jan. 9, Fri., 1PM-3:30PM) SPH-Sentul (Jan. 15, Thurs, 11:30AM-1:30PM) Should you have any questions, please, send an email of enquiry to Abraham.chung@sph.ac.id . God bless you and your family richly in 2026! In Christ, Dr. Abraham Chung College & Career Counselor SPH-KV, Jakarta, Indonesia – January 6, 2026

We are thrilled to welcome Mr. Avinash (Avi) Poudel to our SPH Kemang Village family as our 5th Grade teacher! Mr. Avi is a graduate of the International Teachers College at UPH, in association with Corban University, specializing in Elementary Education. Mr. Avi feels a strong calling to serve at SPH, shaped by his previous year of teaching at SPH Lippo Village. During that time, he experienced a community that worked closely together while nurturing growth not only in skill, but in character and faith. Living and working in Indonesia allowed him to form a meaningful connection with SPH, and he is grateful for the opportunity to return and continue his journey within a loving Christian community. In his teaching, Mr. Avi believes that there is always room for improvement—every day, a little better. This mindset reflects his commitment to continuous growth, both for his students and for himself as an educator. He desires to walk alongside his students as they learn, grow, and discover the gifts God has placed within them. Beyond teaching, Mr. Avi enjoys staying active through working out and playing football. He also loves playing board games and serving on the worship team through singing. These moments bring him joy, refresh his spirit, and keep him connected to God and community. Mr. Avi is especially excited to be part of SPH Kemang Village because he looks forward to sharing his culture and his testimony with students, families, and colleagues. As he begins this new chapter, he would like to share a message with parents and students: "This year will be a blessing, but it will take patience to see it fully unfold. Let us be patient together and trust God to do His part."
