We foster creative, passionate teams at our centre, enabling you to fully realise your potential, and in turn be part of a team that strives to build a team that works together as one!
Our schools are a part of YHA Group, one of the biggest growing groups in the English 1 family, and the biggest in Sumatra and the Riau Islands. We are a young group, with the drive and energy to provide amazing English classes for our students, and at the same time providing a real gateway for our foreign teachers to truly experience the beauty of different Indonesian cultures and nature. Some may choose Bali for the reputation, others may choose Jakarta for the big-city feel, but Sumatra and Riau Islands are where you can really feel the mix of tradition and modernity. Our location provides an excellent gateway for exploring local cultures and natural wonders, as well as visiting nearby powerhouses such as Malaysia and Singapore.

- Batam: The heart of the Riau Islands, and within sight of Singapore & Malaysia, and the local delights of Bintan Island!
