PUTERA SAMPOERNA FOUNDATION

The history of the Sampoerna Schools System reveals our dedication to the improvement of education in Indonesia. Established in 2001, the Putera Sampoerna Foundation (PSF) is the first social business institution in Indonesia with the vision to produce high caliber Indonesian future leaders and entrepreneurs who are able to face global challenges, contribute and bring positive changes to their respective communities.

PSF counts itself among those seeking to put the nation on equal footing with all the other global citizens. It strives to do so through the Sampoerna Schools System, the first fully integrated education system in Indonesia providing a seamless pathway from pre-school through to an international tertiary education.

PSF also provides services to improving the quality of schools and educators in Indonesia. Supported by experienced professionals in the field of education, it has comprehensive and flexible programs that are aimed to increase teachers’ competencies, develop students’ character, achieve transparency in school governance, and build a proactive school community.

To date, PSF has awarded over 38,997 scholarships, adopted more than 600 public schools and madrasah, trained over 31,000 teachers and principals, and drawn more than 1,000 students to join the Sampoerna Schools System.
