The high-quality educational system at Bakti Mulya 400 offers a program aligned with Indonesia’s cultural geography. We differentiate instruction to meet students’ diverse capabilities and needs, and our international program reflects the best educational research to address the challenges and opportunities of our rapidly changing world. We believe that providing the best curriculum, teaching and learning, resources, and assessment will encourage personal growth and well-being.
We embrace a student-centered approach, enabling students to construct knowledge, skills, and understanding across, between, and beyond subject areas through learning, development, behavior, and environmental stimuli. Students are encouraged to inquire and learn critical thinking and innovation to contribute to a better world, incorporating Islamic values both domestically and internationally.
We believe our learning and teaching approach is the best way to implement reflective practice for both students and facilitators to enhance learning. This is why our approaches—holistic and inclusive education, conceptual understanding, inquiry-based learning, STEM, project-based learning, design thinking, and critical thinking—are core to developing literacy and numeracy skills, fostering a deep understanding of knowledge, encouraging independent research, and undertaking community service projects. Our educational framework is central to our teaching philosophy. Our programs aim to develop students with
excellent breadth and depth of knowledge, skills, and understanding—students who flourish physically, intellectually, emotionally, aesthetically, and spiritually. We equip students with the skills they need for life, helping them to succeed in school, university, and the workplace.
The Bakti Mulya 400 Educational Cooperation Foundation (YBKSP) organizes education for all levels. In 1985, it established KB/TK Bakti Mulya 400 and SMP Bakti Mulya 400. In 1986, it founded SD Bakti Mulya 400, followed by SMA Bakti Mulya 400 in 1999. Bakti Mulya 400 schools were founded by the Family 400 Foundation and the Pondok Mulya Foundation. The Family 400 Foundation is an organization comprising former Student Soldiers of Battalion 400, Brigade 17, while the Pondok Mulya Foundation manages the Pondok Indah Real Estate.
The collaboration between these two foundations in the field of education was formalized through a cooperation agreement on September 30, 1983. The new name agreed upon for the joint foundation was the Bakti Mulya 400 Educational Cooperation Body, abbreviated as BKSP Bakti Mulya 400.

Behind the establishment of Bakti Mulya 400 School lies a story about the importance of collaboration. This collaboration became the spirit deeply embedded in the hearts of the school's founders. The background of the founders consists of two foundations: Ikatan Keluarga Batalyon 400 (IKEL 400) and Yayasan Pondok Mulya.
Initial Contribution to the community
The founders decided to form a new foundation that would represent the spirit of cooperation in the field of education, named Yayasan Badan Kerja Sama Pendidikan (YBKSP) Bakti Mulya 400. On September 30, 1983, this foundation was officially established as a foundation to create a school based on Islamic and national values.
Today, YBKSP Bakti Mulya 400 has been in existence for 40 years. Therefore, we should remember and honour the founding figures who have passed away, but left behind an unforgettable legacy of struggle.
