2. Mr. Juan Octo Dwiputera Wong and Mrs. Kim Jung Eun - Parents of Jiwu Eileen Wong and Yubin Melissa Wong

“Global Sevilla School is not only the first mindfulness-based school in Indonesia but also a school that offers the same teaching method as in the UK or Singapore. Besides the beautiful exterior and school environment, the children are not only taught to excel in their academics but also sports and other activities such as dramas and class presentations. This helps a lot in building their confidence to become more independent.

Another good thing is that there are a lot of students from various nationalities and races, therefore our children could learn about their different cultures. Furthermore, parents are encouraged to be interactive with the teachers so that we can help to monitor our children's progress. We are glad to have chosen Global Sevilla School as a stepping stone for our kids.

We strongly recommend Global Sevilla School to parents who want to enroll their children in a school that not only provides a balance in academic and personal development for their children but also a safe, fun, and healthy environment.”

3. Parents of Josh & Raoul Spies 

“Our boys, Josh have been with Global Sevilla Pulo Mas since 2011 then Raoul in 2014 when we moved back to Jakarta from living their whole lives in Hong Kong. I may say the school chatter their needs of being secured within their new environment in a new country. They are currently in year 12 and year 9. 

Since then, they have seen significant growth not only academically but also in other areas of their school life. Global Sevilla provides well-rounded school experiences with good and important mixed social and cultural activities without losing focus on academics. We can see how they grow before our eyes from a boy to be a young man. 

We could not be happier with all the support that the school has offered us. There is no doubt that we always encourage our friends and relatives that looking for an all-encompassing yet engaging school experience for their child to consider Global Sevilla school.”

Mindful Practices in Daily School Life

At Global Sevilla, mindfulness is not treated as a special activity reserved for certain moments; it is woven naturally into daily school life. Students begin their day with short silent moments to center their attention before learning starts. Mindful breathing, mindful listening, and moments of reflection are integrated into classroom routines, helping students stay focused and emotionally balanced. 

Even everyday activities such as eating, walking, and interacting with peers are approached with awareness. These consistent practices help students manage stress, improve concentration, and develop emotional regulation, creating a calm learning environment where students feel safe, present, and ready to learn.

Real Community Service Projects That Build Empathy

Community service at Global Sevilla goes beyond charity, it is an extension of character education in action. Through structured programs, students participate in meaningful projects such as fundraising initiatives, visits to orphanages and elderly care homes, educational outreach, and support for underprivileged communities. 

These real-world experiences allow students to practice compassion, generosity, and social responsibility firsthand. By engaging directly with diverse communities, students learn to see beyond themselves, develop empathy, and understand the impact of their actions. Community service becomes a powerful learning journey that nurtures mindful, caring, and socially aware individuals.
