SMA Negeri Sumatera Selatan (Sampoerna Academy) is a dormitory school providing a holistic education for each individual. This school is the pioneer of free of charge dormitory school which provides a high quality education for each student. The government of South Sumatera and Sampoerna Foundation fully support this school. We prepare students with curriculum based on IGCSE and KTSP.

The Academy is fully committed to students and teachers working together to provide an educational and learning environment where students will become effective learners, critical thinkers, effective communicators, healthy and globally conscious individuals. English becomes the first language of instruction and communication. Apart from Indonesian language, KTSP-based subjects are also conducted in English. The whole members of Sampoerna Academy, teachers, staff and students are aware that the use of English is essential in gaining the best result.

We believe that students will reach their fullest potential when they get every opportunity not only in academic but also in other areas. We, therefore, provide activities that cultivate, strengthen, and deepen their talent and skills that will be very useful in their lives. Sports, ICT, Arts, and Learning to Live programs are some of activities provided for students to do in the afternoon. We are aware that attitude plays a very important role in the success of each individual. Therefore, SMA Negeri Sumatera Selatan (Sampoerna Academy) is committed to prepare future leaders with first class attitude that every Indonesian will be proud of.
