At BINUS SCHOOL Semarang, we understand that parents want more than strong academics for their children. Parents want their child to feel confident, supported, and excited to learn, in a space where they are seen, heard, and encouraged to grow. That is why we believe learning is not only shaped by what is taught, but also by how children experience the classroom every day.   Dr. Agung Nugroho, Teacher of English and Social Science at BINUS SCHOOL Semarang, stated, “Student engagement is essential for effective learning, yet one often‑overlooked factor is how classroom seating is arranged. My research shows that interactive layouts, like U‑shapes or small groups, encourage students to participate more, communicate confidently, and connect better with their teacher. Traditional rows, on the other hand, often make students more passive. This study offers fresh insight for Indonesian international schools, highlighting how simple physical changes in the classroom can significantly boost student involvement.” At BINUS SCHOOL Semarang, we thoughtfully design our classrooms to support these moments. By using flexible seating arrangements, especially during discussions, projects, and English lessons, we create a safe and welcoming environment where students can: Express their thoughts with confidence Ask questions without fear Build friendships and teamwork Learn to communicate clearly and respectfully These small changes make a big difference in how children feel about learning. Children learn best when they feel connected; to their teachers, their classmates, and the learning itself. Interactive classroom settings help students stay engaged, motivated, and emotionally supported, especially during their Secondary Years, when confidence and self-expression matter deeply. At BINUS SCHOOL Semarang, our teachers adjust classroom layouts based on learning goals, ensuring that students receive both guidance and independence. This balance helps children grow academically while also developing empathy, resilience, and collaboration. For parents, this reflects our promise: your child is learning in an environment built with care, intention, and purpose. Every classroom, every interaction, and every learning space at BINUS SCHOOL Semarang is designed to help your child grow into a confident, capable, and compassionate individual. Because at the heart of everything we do is one simple belief, your child’s journey matters.
