a tradition of educational excellence

For more than 50 years, Jakarta International School (JIS) has set the standard for international schooling in Indonesia and throughout the world by providing services of the highest quality to our students and to the communities we serve.

Founded specifically as an international school to meet the needs and interests of expatriate students living in Jakarta, JIS is a large, well-equipped school for students aged three through eighteen years, set on three beautiful campuses.

Our students enjoy first-class academic programs and a comprehensive array of sporting, cultural and performing arts activities. The academic and co-curricular choices available allow our students to explore interests and develop talents while preparing for future opportunities anywhere in the global community.

a unity of values from around the globe:

JIS is a place where people from almost 60 countries come together to share ideas, experiences and values. Faculty and students constantly test what they think they know, and acknowledge the importance and impact of experience and perspective. JIS students learn to challenge appropriately, to reflect on their choices, to adapt and to act intelligently.

Moving beyond tolerance to true acceptance of others and their ideas, students learn to recognize, respect and celebrate the differences and similarities among people. Each student is encouraged to celebrate his or her first language and culture while embracing a second and, in many cases, a third.
