Gloria 1 Christian Senior High School (Indonesian: Sekolah Menengah Atas Kristen Gloria 1) is a Private Christian high school in Surabaya, Indonesia. It was founded in 1996 by the Gloria Christian Education Foundation (YPK Gloria) under the name Gloria Christian School,[3] where it detached itself under its current name in 2002. Students are drawn primarily from Chinese Indonesian background and is considered one of the most favoured in the city.[4]
History
Gloria Pacar (1984 – 1996)
Gloria Christian School began with an awareness of the need for Christian services in the field of education, which resulted in a formal educational institution being established by the Abdiel Christian Church, a Hokkienese concentrated branch of Christianity in Surabaya.[5]
In 1984, the first school was opened at GKA Gloria building on Jl. Pacar 9, with a total of 36 students for kindergarten and elementary school, as well as 9 teaching staff. Early school activities were held on spaces provided by the church.
Gloria Christian School (1996 – 2002)
On July 17, 1996, Gloria Christian School was opened in West Surabaya, precisely at Jalan Kupang Indah 1 No 3, taking in the space previously held by Surabaya International School. The Gloria Family Day event was marked by this event.
The school offered education from kindergarten (TK-KB) to secondary (SMA). Each year, classes continued to grow until the entire building becomes incapacitated, which prompt the Foundation to relocate its high school to another location, separate from Gloria's main campus, and thus, detaching itself from Gloria Christian School and becomes Gloria Christian Senior High School.[6]
Gloria 1 Christian Senior High School (2002 – Present)
In 2002, learning activities for high school were officially moved to a new building on Jl. Raya Sukomannunggal Jaya 25A.
Gloria Christian School expanded its high school system to Eastern Surabaya in 2008, at the Pakuwon City residential complex, which precipitated Gloria Christian Senior High School to be renamed as Gloria 1 Christian Senior High School, while the later is named Gloria 2 Christian Senior High School.
