With more than 15 years of experience in language education, the institution has earned high student satisfaction through effective teaching methods and a variety of activities based on the know-how gained from that experience.

To remove these barriers, the institution has developed a comprehensive Bahasa Indonesia program that includes Indonesian culture and offers classes so that foreigners can integrate into Indonesian society with confidence and ease.
