STB - ACS (International) Jakarta

 Official Opening & Dedication Service

STB-ACS (International) Jakarta was officially declared open on 8 November 2006, marking another significant milestone in ACS history.

Among those present at the Dedication Service were representatives of the ACS Board of Governors and Mr Mucki Tan, founder of Sekolah Tiara Bangsa (STB), the forerunner of STB-ACS (International) Jakarta. Also present were Principals and Vice-Principals of ACS schools in Singapore, the Bishop of Indonesia Dr. H Doloksaribu, pastors from the Methodist Churches in Singapore and Indonesia, and guests.

Mr Daryl Forde, Executive Principal of STB-ACS (International) Jakarta, emphasized in his speech that the school will be enriched by the now shared heritage of 120 years.

Mr Tan Wah Thong, Chairman of the Board of Governors, shared the visions of the various ACS schools and the unique ACS brand of education based on Christian values and teachings. Mr Tan reiterated that the ACS educational mission is to “educate and nurture students to be God-fearing men and women of character and integrity and equip them to make responsible contributions as future leaders and global citizens”.

Bishop Doloksaribu then expressed his delight that the Methodist Church in Singapore and the Methodist Church in Indonesia are collaborating to educate Indonesian children, and hoped that there will be more opportunities for further tie-ups and cooperation.

Guests were entertained with performances by students culminating with the school choir leading the audience in the school anthem, sung in English and Bahasa Indonesia. The guests were then treated to an Indonesian buffet and a tour of the school.
