“Simply The Best”K – 12
21st Century Global Education

Great Location
Permata Bangsa School – Global Education is nestled on the tranquil hillside of Gombel Lama on the Gombel Golf Course Road, Semarang. Our students especially enjoy the Junior Golf programme and school competitions we promote with our local and international golf partners. 
Founded in 2000, PBS has been providing world-class professional learning and development and thoughtful leadership for over twenty years. At PBS we have a strong desire to transform education, and we believe that embracing research, exploring new pedagogies and technologies in our classrooms to engage English second language learners across all grades, is what 21st Century Education is all about.
