7. What was the best thing about Sekolah Ciputra? Tell us something memorable from your time at Sekolah Ciputra

The best thing about Sekolah Ciputra is their curriculum. Everything was taught in English. During my time in Sekolah Ciputra, we used to write a lot of essays in English and it is very useful throughout my university years and career. Non-academically, Sekolah Ciputra also promotes healthy lifestyle with their Sports Day, Athletics Day, Swimming Carnival, OSIS Soccer Leagues, Super Sports and other sports events. In my opinion, this is one of the most unique traits of Sekolah Ciputra.

8. What advice would you give to a graduating student?

Mathematics is important! I can’t stress this enough, because when I was in school, everyone was always saying that when we graduated from school, mathematics will be forgotten. Well, that is obviously not true, in fact everything in the real world revolves around mathematics. In addition, English is also important! In my experience, you can be a genius, but if you can’t speak English; how can you compete internationally if nobody understands you?

Yes. I would say that Sekolah Ciputra provided me with the tools necessary to not only compete domestically, but also internationally both in academic and non-academic aspects.

10. What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

Exercise, like gym-workout, football or soccer are the things I enjoy most and one of the things I got from being a Sekolah Ciputra student.
