State Senior High School 2 Gunung Putri is a public high school located in the Gunung Putri district of Bogor Regency, West Java, Indonesia. The school is commonly known by its nickname “SWISS,” which stands for Sekolah Kota Wisata. The moniker stems from its location within the Kota Wisata Cibubur area, a planned township development on the outskirts of Jakarta. Since its founding in 2010, the school has grown into one of the more prominent public high schools in the region, attracting students from Gunung Putri and neighboring districts.

Students can choose between two tracks: Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam (IPA), which focuses on mathematics and sciences, and Ilmu Pengetahuan Sosial (IPS), which covers subjects like economics, sociology, and geography. With approximately 340 students across nine classes, the school maintains a relatively intimate learning environment compared to some larger public high schools in the area. The campus sits on about 0.67 hectares of land within the Kota Wisata complex, providing students with access to the amenities of the surrounding township.

In terms of academic performance, SMAN 2 Gunung Putri has demonstrated steady improvement over the years. A milestone was reached in 2022 when it ranked among the top 1000 schools nationwide for UTBK scores, placing at number 848 with an average score of 517.677. This achievement marked a significant step for a relatively young institution and signaled its growing competitiveness. More recently, the school received 1,642 applicants competing for 360 available seats through the provincial admissions system, with the top-ranked student education in the achievement pathway scoring 322.14 on the composite selection index.

Its stated goal focuses on producing graduates who are academically capable, morally grounded, and faithful to God Almighty. Religious and character development activities form an integral part of school life. Muslim students participate in Duha prayers and Ramadan programs, while Christian students have their own fellowship activities called ROKRIS. Such initiatives reflect the school’s commitment to accommodating students of different faiths within a harmonious environment.

Extracurricular offerings at SMAN 2 Gunung Putri are diverse. Popular choices feature Paskibra (flag-raising team), Ratoh Jaroe (a traditional Acehnese dance), futsal, volleyball, basketball, badminton, English Club, scout movement, Red Cross, journalism, and Taekwondo. Notable achievements have been won in competitions ranging from taekwondo championships to national science olympiads. The school hosts a major arts festival named LEOFOROS brings together traditional and modern cultural performances, drawing audiences of over a thousand people in past editions.

Like many public schools in Indonesia, SMAN 2 Gunung Putri faces challenges related to infrastructure. In January 2026, the roof of a school building collapsed, damaging six classrooms and forcing temporary student dismissal. The incident drew attention from the West Java Regional House of Representatives, which called for immediate repairs and stricter oversight of school construction standards. The school has since been scheduled for reconstruction, with authorities emphasizing the importance of technical compliance and safety for students and staff.

For families in the Gunung Putri and Cibubur areas, SMAN 2 Gunung Putri represents a viable public education option with a growing reputation. The school’s graduates have moved on to universities across Indonesia and abroad, with some earning prestigious scholarships and others entering careers in technology, services, and even the military and police. While it may not yet rival the oldest and most elite high schools in Jakarta or Bandung, its trajectory suggests a school on the rise, shaped by a dedicated faculty and an engaged student community.
