Hi. I live in Pekanbaru, but I'm not an expat. A few years ago, before moved in, I was also looking around for an elementary school for my son, and I gathered information about these schools. ICS is an international school with an IB curriculum. Another private school is Dharma Yudha, which offers both Indonesian and Cambridge curriculum. There is also Montessori school with its curriculum.
What grade are your kids in?

Go along to Pekanbaru Hash House Harriers on a Sunday morning. Yes I know it is early but... Someone there will have school-age children.

Thanks, Tehtelot, My Kids are 6 years and 3 years. I visited Darma Yudha and Stella Gracia. Both have IB curriculum and will check ICS as well.

Okay, sounds good and let me have a visit and see. I think majority of ppl stay outside PKU and come to town in weekend.

I did but I only went once. 7.30 is a bit early for me. All hot and sweaty and three beers worse and back at the hotel by 9.30 to see all my sober mates at breakfast!

Did you find a school yet?

 

[Nadeeshaf]

Hi, I found two schools: Darma Yudha and stella Gracia. Those are private schools not international schools but teaching Cambridge syllabus. Hopefully will be ok. Thanks, Vocaneal.

Are you in Pekanbaru or another place??​

Damn hot and better to have gym session instead of going out in the morning.

I used to live near there for years but not actually in the town. I went there mostly only on weekends. Ozone is a "disco" at the top of Senapelan Plaza.
