On January 19, 2026, CBCS joined the MPK Day of Prayer for Christian schools across Indonesia. Everyone on campus, from PS to G12, faculty and staff, along with parents on site for a Tea Time with Denise, prayed for the advancement of the gospel through Christian education in this beautiful nation. In God’s amazing timing, a huge answer to years of prayer for Christian education in Indonesia occurred a few days earlier on January 15, 2026, when the Majelis Pendidikan Kristen (MPK) organization and the CBCS School Board, Yayasan Berkat Bagi Bangsa (YBBB), signed an MOU designating CBCS as the first model school in Indonesia to partner in the MPK School Transformation Program. CBCS and a select few leading Christian schools across the island of Java will become "training centers” to host area Christian schools who are eager to grow and learn, but who lack sufficient resources to do so. It was awesome witnessing the CBCS vision and mission (building the nation through Christ-centered education by becoming a model school) come to life in such a tangible way. What a supreme grace and blessing…all glory to God!
Especially fitting this month during our schoolwide focus on service, we will join our global accreditation partner, ACSI, for their annual Day of Prayer. We encourage you to join us and ACSI when we unite across the globe to advance Christ-centered education through prayer on Tuesday, February 24, 2026. Joining our school in prayer on this day is one great way everyone can participate in the CBCS Ministry Month activities.
To quote the ACSI website,
ACSI invites Christian educators and schools worldwide to come together under the theme “Power in Prayer”. Rooted in James 5:16, this promise reminds us that God listens and works when His people pray. Prayer isn’t about perfect words or flawless faith. It’s about humble dependence on a powerful God. Like Elijah, who was "a man with a nature like ours," we’re called to pray with confidence—not because of who we are, but because of who God is. As we unite for the Global Day of Prayer, let’s:
Pray boldly for the gospel to transform our schools.
Pray continually for God to use Christian education to make disciples of all nations.
Pray with expectation, not for our will, but for God’s will.
Wherever you are, whatever your role, your prayers matter. Let’s join together, trusting that God will use our prayers to move hearts, transform schools, and change the world.
You can find a map showing ACSI schools around the world participating in this Day of Prayer, the CBCS prayer requests listed along with the requests from other Christian schools, and a downloadable prayer guide at the following link: https://www.acsi.org/day-of-prayer.
As we have witnessed throughout the life of our school’s journey, prayer is powerful because God is Powerful and loves to answer the prayers of his children when they are in accordance with his will.
Blessings,
Denise Strickland Academic Advisor and Head of School

Principal-Parents Fellowship
We are deeply grateful for the meaningful fellowship shared between SOR principals and parents during the Parent–Principal Fellowship (PPF) held on January 20, 21, and 27. As we partner together to shape and guide our children to become faithful disciples of Jesus Christ, we trust that God will pour out His wisdom and blessings upon our community. Let us continue to uphold our children in prayer as we walk this journey together.
For parents who were unable to attend the PPF sessions, the presentation slides are provided below so you may review all the shared information.
For this school year, the ERB CTP Assessment for Grade 10 will be administered from February 2–5, 2026. This assessment is designed to track students’ academic progress and is not a high-stakes or summative assessment.
Please note that students are not required to attend any additional classes in order to participate in this assessment. Parents are kindly requested to ensure their child gets sufficient rest the night before, eats a nutritious breakfast, brings a healthy snack, arrives at school on time on testing days, and that the school administration is informed in advance if their child is unable to attend.
On Monday, February 2, students will participate in a trial session during homeroom time. Please refer to the schedule below for the testing sessions on Tuesday–Thursday, February 3–5.
SOR Ministry Field Trips
We are excited to share that our upcoming SOR ministry day will take place on Thursday, 26 February.

Please see the destination and planned activities below for more details.
We invite the entire school community to keep this ministry trip in prayer—that the journey will be safe, the interactions impactful, and the experience transformative for both our students and those they serve.
Congratulations!
