SBP’s Chinese programme prepares students for university in China. Five graduates of the Class of 2026 alone are studying there now.
At SBP, students learn three languages side by side: English for lessons, Mandarin as a core subject, and Bahasa Indonesia for the national curriculum.
Chinese is a core, examined subject from Primary 1, with English, Mathematics and Science.
Mandarin is taught by specialist Mandarin teachers.
SBP prepares students for the HSK, the international Chinese proficiency test. What the HSK is and why it matters →
A club for Chinese, alongside lessons.
The HSK (Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi) is the international test of Chinese for students whose first language is not Chinese. It is graded in levels, from beginner upward.
Universities in China use the HSK to decide whether a student can study in Chinese. Many ask for HSK 4 or above.
SBP prepares students for the HSK in their Chinese lessons. In Junior College, Chinese is taught at HSK 4 level.
Students take the exam at a registered HSK test centre outside SBP.
Language and culture go together: celebrations, poetry and performance.
