ABOUT OUR SCHOOL

Sometimes referred to as the "Jungle School"

Amman Academy commenced operations in July 2008 on Sumbawa Island, Indonesia. Formerly known as Sekolah Buin Batu, the school was established to serve the families of employees and contractors of PT Amman Mineral Nusa Tenggara’s Batu Hijau Project.

The Academy’s roots trace back to two schools: Sekolah Nasional Buin Batu (SNBB), founded in 2000, and Batu Hijau International School (BHIS), established in 1998. Today, our diverse team of Indonesian and international educators fosters a welcoming, multicultural learning environment.

Amman Academy is a distinctive IB World School in a remarkable part of Indonesia, serving families who are building ambitious futures.
