About · Tentang

Not a mall course.
A village that makes English ordinary.

Desa Inggris Singosari is the education brand of Indocita Foundation, based in Randuagung, Singosari, Kabupaten Malang. Founded by Avin Nadhir (often called Gus Avin). Indocita began 6 June 2008; on 13 September 2013 the Bupati Malang inaugurated it as Desa Inggris.

2008

Indocita starts informal English learning for local kids — terraces, mushola yards, open spaces.

2013

Officially named Desa Inggris Singosari by the Malang Regency government.

29k+

Learners reported in 2021 media coverage — including participants from abroad (NL, MY, SG, DE, NZ).

Melek Agama · Melek Bahasa · Melek Teknologi — faith, language, and tech literacy together.

What makes it different

  • Free community English for children around Singosari & Lawang via ISP (ages 7–18; ~500 students/year in public reports).
  • Learning anywhere — not only classrooms: mushola terraces, house porches, fields. Fun English: games, songs, speaking first.
  • Trainer pipeline (BETE) — SMA graduates train ~9 months to teach, then many continue to university with institutional support.
  • Boarding + day programs — dorm life (asrama, including Putra Indocita / Al-Khotibah context in news), holiday camps, school partnerships.
  • Values-integrated — English with culture and Islamic character education (sholat, mengaji, adab), not pure commercial drill.

Facts compiled from public reporting (Malang Times, TIMES Indonesia, GenPI, Kompasiana 2025, founder interviews). Numbers may change — confirm via WhatsApp for current intake.

Method · Cara belajar

Environment first.
Courage before perfection.

Founder Avin Nadhir’s line: language learning needs habit and bravery, not only “being smart.” DIS builds an English-speaking environment — from pre-dawn routines in intensive programs to afternoon kids’ circles on village terraces.

Media also note outreach beyond the village (e.g. teaching at Lapas Wanita Sukun in earlier years) and university scholarships for successful BETE cadres (dozens of alumni supported to study).
