History
the Founding member
Our founders envisioned quality educations for Indonesian children with three different tier of schools. The dream of our founders was to establish 10 units of Sekolah Pelita Harapan - International type of school, 100 units of Sekolah Dian Harapan - national type of school and 1000 units of Sekolah Lentera Harapan - a subsidized school all across Indonesia.

School Improvement
SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT THROUGH PEOPLE DEVELOPMENT IS NEEDED
Professional Development and Curriculum Enrichment team was formed few years ago with the role to work closely, mentoring school leaders for strategic plan for school development. It is our beliefs that when the school leaders and teachers understand the big story of Christian education, there will be creative ideas and performances in each context. Teachers development is crucial for a good school.
Start from 2016, all SDH is the member of Association of Christian School International - Indonesia. Being a member of ACSI will guide SDH to make sure that we are teaching students holistically and give attention to spiritual formation of our students. Further, ACSI will be another accreditation body for SDH to ensure strategic plan for continual improvement.
