Abstract：In recent years, trilingual schools have become a new battlefield for spreading Mandarin and the Chinese culture in Indonesia. However, in the process of achieving high-quality development goals, these schools tend to rely on the outside world, and lack a holistic view and internal strength. In this study, in-depth interviews were conducted with 20 personnel related to these schools, and NVivo 12 software was used to code and analyze the interview data. The findings show that the key factors that affect the sustainable development of these schools include organizational and personal factors of the human system, as well as material and consciousness factors of non-human systems. Respondents place more emphasis on human actors and place greater emphasis on material factors when it comes to non-human factors. Opinions differ on the identification of the core actors, but undoubtedly principals and school administrators (Director of the Chinese Department) should be regarded as the core actors. The problem with the sustainable development of these schools is that there are significant differences in needs and perspectives among heterogeneous actors, resulting in a dispersed development network. Due to its reliance on external conditions for support and lack of internal driving force, the development network is inefficient. The lack of deep cooperation among various actors has left the development network in a closed state. To transform the endogenous development path of Indonesian trilingual schools, it is suggested that these schools should 1) strengthen the connectivity of the network and enhance the development support; 2) reshape network functions and enhance the internal driving force and effectiveness of transformation and development from horizontal functional integration, vertical hierarchical integration, and other dimensions; 3) develop network relationships and construct diverse collaborative innovation mechanisms through cross-border deep integration.
