  Welcome to the Boarding School! We are excited to host you and to meet people from all over the world. We invite you to teach our enthusiastic and passionate students. We are a traditional Islamic boarding school, known as a pondok pesantren, in Indonesia. Here, you will not only learn about local culture but also immerse yourself in the local Islamic culture and religion.
  
  Don't just come to Indonesia for Bali and miss out on the many wonders of Javanese culture. Bali and Java are incomparable! They are like two different countries or worlds. Make it a part of your Bali trip to visit us by taking a short plane ride from Denpasar.
  
  Perks:
  
  3 buffet meals every day included
  Free accommodation
  Awesome local volcanoes, waterfalls, and hiking nearby
  Eager students excited to meet you
  2 days off each week
  Deep cultural immersion into Indonesian lifestyle
  The school is surrounded by small remote villages where locals rarely see foreigners. Be greeted with wonder in the eyes of the locals
  Incredible hospitality
  
  Location:
  We are located in Kota Sukabumi (the city of Sukabumi). If you search for Kota Sukabumi on Google Maps, you can find the general area. We are about 3-4 hours inland from Jakarta and enjoy mostly cool weather year-round, unlike Jakarta. There is no heavy pollution, and there are basically no tourists here. On your journey here, someone will be available to guide you every step of the way. Fly into Jakarta and then take the buses and local public vans from there.

  Working time is no more than 4 to 5 hours a day, usually in the morning, and often less than 4 hours. You will have plenty of time to work on a separate job or project. The internet is strong, fast, and stable. For the best internet, I recommend a Telkomsel SIM card, which offers a perfect internet solution. The data plan is cheap and works 99% of the time.
