NURTURING HUMAN VALUES
The name Bina Cita Utama means to nurture ideals, dreams, hopes and ambitions, which are noble, or of the highest standing.
WELCOME TO BCU
We are delighted to welcome you to BCU on behalf of all the staff and students. We are an active and supportive school community that empowers young minds by nurturing individuality and self-worth.
BCU is a growing independent school that provides a safe and stimulating learning environment, together with an enriched curriculum, for students in early childhood (TK), primary (SD), junior high school (SMP) and senior high school (SMA).
Located in the quiet Bukit Batu area of Palangka Raya in Central Kalimantan, we make the most of the educational potential within our local natural environment and focus on quality, human centred learning. Collaborations with environmental and community organisations further enhance our students’ experience.
Along with our commitment to supporting academic excellence, we also believe that “Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.” (Aristotle) Students are encouraged to become problem solvers and independent thinkers, while developing essential human values such as compassion, responsibility, integrity, creativity, tolerance and resilience.
Our door is always open to parents, students, staff and community members who wish to join us on our journey to make BCU the best school that it can be.
