Schools in Medan
If you are moving to Medan and have school going children, you may want to know the schools in Medan
Medan International School
There is an International School in Medan known as Medan International School which most expatriates enroll their children into. However, the cost of tuition is rather high. If your company is paying for it, then this will be your first choice.
The security of the school is very good as all visitors will need identity to get into the school. The only downside of the school is its location. Situated on the way to Berastagi, it will take at least 45 minutes ( without any traffic jam ) to get there from Medan City Center. I know 45 minutes may not be much compared to overseas traveling distances, but it is considered far in Medan, if there is a traffic jam, the traveling time may take up to 1 hour 15 minutes.
Unless you are staying at the Royal Sumatra Residence, then you may not find the distance a problem since the school is only 10 minutes from there.

45 minutes is an exaggeration. I travel from the city every day and it takes 20 minutes in the mornings and 30 minutes in the afternoons, plus many of the families live in complexes that are close to the school
Thanks for sharing. You may be right. It does depends on which complex one is staying. Medan International School is closer to Royal Sumatra and Citra Garden residential complex.
By referring 45 minutes from the city is rather broad. The actual city center of Medan is the Central Post Office of Medan known as the 0km which is right next to Merdeka Walk.
If one were to stay in city near Thamrin or Sumatra area, it can be further compared to those staying close to the Medan Polonia airport.
Residential areas near to airport areas include:
Taman Malibu Indah
Taman Polonia
Villa Polonia
The Palace
and several under development
