Bumi Cendekia: Unique School in the Neighborhood
Assalaamu'alaikum, wonderful people. How's life? This post will show you the brochure of a school in my neighborhood. It is in Gombang, Tirtoadi Village, Mlati District, Sleman Regency, in the Special Region of Yogyakarta Province. It deserves a post due to its unique design (in my humble opinion).
So, basically, it is a boarding school for secondary students (junior & senior high schools) where students must live on campus in the dormitories provided. Not only does the housing include accommodation, but it also includes meals and laundry services.
In reality, there are many boarding schools in Yogyakarta. Personally, this one stands out to me. It does not have massive concrete buildings or large areas. It does not use an international curriculum like the International Baccalaureate or Cambridge.
Here are a few things that make it stand out, in my opinion:

Here are a few things that make it stand out, in my opinion:
- Although small in size, the design of the buildings is beautiful. They use wooden materials for the walls, and the design is anti-mainstream. Sorry, I don't have the photos, but the brochure pages show us a little bit of that.
- From the brochure, we can see that it uses a STEM approach in its learning, meaning that it applies an interdisciplinary approach to its education.
- It allows boys to have long hair. This is interesting, as it challenges the stereotype that men should have short hair. It means that the school accepts different concerns, interests, and values.
- It initiates collaboration and cooperation with various institutions and organizations, even those of different religious backgrounds. As an Islamic school, Bumi Cendekia does not limit itself to collaborating only with other Islamic institutions. Being willing to work with institutions of different religions, Bumi Cendekia is open to diversity.
