Kolese Kanisius is an all-male, Jesuit, Catholic high school in Menteng, Central Jakarta, Indonesia, founded by the Jesuits (Society of Jesus) in 1927.

Mottos

The school has adopted several mottoes:

  • Men for and with others[1]
  • Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam (For the Greater Glory of God)
  • Competence, Conscience, and Compassion (commonly known as "3C" in the school)

Administration structure

The school is led by a Rector, who oversees the Senior and Junior High School Directors (Principals). Each principal has three vice principals, one each for Curricular Affairs, General Affairs, and Student Affairs, the last one more commonly known as the Moderator inside the school. The Rector, Principals, and Moderators traditionally are ordained Jesuit priests.

History

Canisius' history began on October 26, 1926, with the arrival of Dr. J. Kurris, its first director. On June 1, 1927, the first class of AMS (Algemene Middelbare School) was started. The building of dormitories, hall, and tennis court was finished in July 1929, and on October 26, 1931 Canisius College achieved official status with the appointment of Fr. A. van Hoof, S.J., as its first rector.[2]

During World War II, all activities were suspended and the college was used as a public high school. It was reopened on January 1, 1946.

In 1952, Canisius opened junior and senior high divisions. For 15 years (1952-1967), 90%-100% of students passed the national final examination. In 1967, the curriculum was changed and divided into three areas of study: culture-literature, social economics, and science. In 1974, the college implemented a point credit system.

Education

As a private school, Canisius follows the Indonesia curriculum KTSP (Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan). In the high school, students are divided into two programs: Natural Science stream and Social Science stream. The Natural Science stream has five classes, while the Social Science stream has two classes, or seven classes in each of the three years.

Events held by the high school representative and Student Union include the Canisius College Education Fair, the Canisius College Cup, CASANOVA (Canisius Science, Art, and Language on Festival), and the Canisius Art Blast. Each year, Canisius Senior High sends its representatives to the International Science Olympiad.
