Transformation
A legal entity, mixed funding, a digital platform, and a new focus on equal access from high school to PhD.
Vision
Every Indonesian child, from any background, has an equal chance to reach the best higher education.
Values
Equal
The same chance regardless of background. Selection by need and commitment, not grades.
Pay it forward

Grow together
Learning as a community, not an individual contest.

SCHN was founded in 2021 by Dicky Adra with the first board. The 2026 team will be announced once the legal entity is in place.
