In addition, students are required to take a religious education programme in one of the religions recognised by the Indonesian constitution.
The BEST Pathways (Grade 9 - 10)
The BEST Pathways
Both of the curriculum pathways in the Junior High School are designed to meet MYP and national requirements. Since the content of many courses is taken from Cambridge Assessment International Education syllabi, students in both pathways take International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) examinations at the end of Grade 10.

Arts
In arts, students have opportunities to function as artists, as well as learners of the arts. Students develop through creating, performing and presenting arts in ways that engage and convey feelings, experiences and ideas. The knowledge, skills and attitudes that students develop in arts courses provide a meaningful foundation for further study and help to prepare students for careers in any people-oriented field of employment.
Framework for Arts
In order to give the students an opportunity to meet the Arts objectives at the highest level, Art is offered as a series of distinct courses focusing on Music and Visual Arts.
Physical and Health Education
Physical education in the MYP is concerned with more than just participating in sports and games. Its primary aims are to encourage the development of “intelligent performers” and to encourage students to understand the importance of a balanced, healthy lifestyle.
Sports Facilities
SWA has some of the best sports facilities in Indonesia:
- 2 large indoor gymnasiums for indoor activities, including basketball
- an outdoor field for athletics, soccer, rugby, baseball and other team games
- a dance room for movement, fitness and aerobics
- a swimming pool
