Serpong, February 9, 2026 — Multimedia Nusantara School (MNS) officially held the Groundbreaking Ceremony for Buildings B, C, and D as part of the school's ongoing facility development. The event marked an important milestone in MNS's journey, signaling its readiness to open its upcoming Junior High School and Senior High School levels.
The groundbreaking ceremony opened with a special performance by MNS Primary students, featuring dance and choir performances that reflected the students' spirit, creativity, and talent development from an early age. This was followed by remarks from Teddy Surianto, Chairman of Yayasan Multimedia Nusantara, and Lilik Oetama, CEO of Kompas Gramedia.
The main groundbreaking procession was carried out through a pile-driving ceremony marked by the pressing of a siren button, symbolizing the start of the building's physical construction. The event continued with a tumpeng-cutting ceremony as an expression of gratitude for the continued development of MNS's facilities.
In his remarks, Teddy Surianto, Chairman of Yayasan Multimedia Nusantara, shared that the construction of these new buildings reflects the Foundation's long-term commitment to delivering quality education.
"The construction of these three buildings is not merely about adding physical facilities, but part of our commitment to preparing a complete education ecosystem — from curriculum and learning systems to a school culture that emphasizes technology and character. For the High School level specifically, the facilities we're preparing have been tailored to the developmental needs of teenagers, giving them ample room for exploration, the ability to sharpen leadership skills, and readiness to adapt to international academic standards. We ensure every MNS student learns in an environment relevant to future challenges, so that MNS graduates grow into innovative individuals who are adaptive to technology and ready to become pioneers across various industries in the future,"said Teddy Surianto.
Buildings B, C, and D at MNS are designed to be eco-friendly and energy-efficient, making optimal use of natural lighting and airflow to create a healthy and comfortable learning environment. The facilities support student development through internationally standardized sports areas, various modern laboratories, technology-based learning spaces, and supporting areas such as a library, student lounge, multipurpose hall, and counseling room.
Lilik Oetama, CEO of Kompas Gramedia, affirmed that MNS's strengths are further reinforced by the Kompas Gramedia ecosystem as a strategic education partner.
"Education today is not enough if it only takes place within the classroom. Through the Kompas Gramedia ecosystem, MNS has the opportunity to deliver industry-based learning. Companies under the Kompas Gramedia Group will provide space for students to learn directly from the real world, understand industry challenges practically, and build professional insight from an early age. We want to bridge the gap between academic theory and workforce needs, so that students graduate not only with high grades, but also with a strong portfolio of experience and networking," said Lilik Oetama..
The event was made even more special with a testimonial from Stephanie Wongso, an MNS parent from the school's very first cohort.
"As a parent from the first cohort, we've seen firsthand how Multimedia Nusantara School (MNS) consistently carries out its vision. The learning experience here feels highly efficient thanks to the smart use of technology. This is a real step aligned with the digital era, ensuring our children aren't left behind. We're also very pleased with the Project Based Assessment method used here, as it has proven effective in developing children's creativity and building their confidence from an early age. The start of construction on this new building proves MNS's commitment to providing a comfortable, complete, and outstanding learning environment," said Stephanie, representing MNS parents..
In developing its High School level, MNS offers an integrated educational approach combining the Merdeka Curriculum with the international Pearson Edexcel curriculum. Through this integration, students will graduate with two diplomas — national and international. Students are also guided through the Talent Mapping program to accurately determine their educational path, and are prepared to face global-standard examinations. Learning is further strengthened through character development, preparation for admission to top universities worldwide, and the use of technology through interactive Smart Classrooms.
Beyond preparing graduates who are globally competitive, MNS also offers real benefits for students who wish to continue their higher education within Indonesia, through its synergy with Yayasan Multimedia Nusantara. As an institution under the same foundation as Universitas Multimedia Nusantara (UMN) and Multimedia Nusantara Polytechnic (MNP), MNS holds an exclusive strategic partnership pathway. Through pathway schemes and curriculum alignment, MNS students have the opportunity to continue their studies at UMN or MNP through a more streamlined transition process, including the possibility of a shorter study duration. This ensures that students' educational continuity remains intact within a single, high-quality education ecosystem.
With the start of construction on these three new buildings, Multimedia Nusantara School further solidifies its position as a school that integrates academics, technology, character, and a continuous educational pathway all the way through higher education.
