A. INTRODUCTIONAll Indonesian societies hunger and expect the quality education and ideal school that produces the

quality human resources that can compete globally. The effort to realize the certifiable education is should

design the ideal school that fulfill the measurable standard and incommensurable values. The measurable

standard, the ideal school must be able to be standardized by Standard of National Education (SNE) that

expressed in Government Regulation No. 19/2005. SNE is the minimal criteria of educational system in all

over Indonesian area, that is: 1) Standard of Content (curriculum); 2) Standard of Process (Teaching and

Learning Process); 3) Standard of Output Competence; 4) Standard of Teachers and Educational Personals;

5) Standard of Infrastructures; 6) Standard of Management; 7) Standard of Finance; and 8) Standard of

Educational Evaluation. The ideal schools are the school that have achieved and exceeded the Standard of

National Education. In the other hand, Guide of School with International Standard Fostering (2008:6) also

expresses the standard of International-based School, that is: 1) Standard of Input; 2) Standard of Process;

and 3) Standard of Output. The Standard of Input consists of intake, teachers and educational personals,

curriculum, and infrastructures. Standard of Process consists of teaching and learning process, management

and organization, and school environment. Whereas the Standard of Output is the competence of output

which will be achieved. Even though the incommensurable values, the ideal school should be able to point

out the incommensurable goals for action and argue that satisfying includes taking seriously

incommensurable goal as a reason for action. The ideal school must maximize the seven basic human

goods, that is: life; truthful knowledge; friendship; beauty; skilful play;; religion; and practical reasonableness

(morally sound).
