About international schools in Indonesia
International schools in Indonesia are a diverse group that includes IB World Schools, British/Cambridge schools, American-style schools and numerous “national plus” schools that blend the Indonesian curriculum with international programmes. English is almost always the primary language of instruction, while Bahasa Indonesia is taught across most schools and Mandarin is commonly offered as an additional language; other language options depend on the school. Fees vary widely by city and school type - Jakarta’s international sector is the most expensive, with many schools charging mid-to-high five-figure sums in US dollars (paid in IDR), while schools outside the main cities are substantially cheaper. Admissions timing and calendars differ: some international schools follow a Northern-hemisphere August/September intake, whereas national schools normally begin mid-July, and most schools require documents, entrance assessments and several weeks to months of lead time for applications.

There are 184 international schools in Indonesia covering 31 curricula. The most widely offered are Cambridge IGCSE (99), Cambridge (Primary) (66), Cambridge (Secondary) (63), Cambridge A Levels (60), IB (DP) (58). If your child may move countries again, an internationally-portable curriculum (IB, or Cambridge/British) keeps options open; if you're likely to settle, a curriculum matching your home or target university system can be the better fit.
Fees & what they cover
Annual tuition across Indonesia runs from about IDR 296 to IDR 633,001,000, averaging roughly IDR 123,542,150. Budget for one-off costs on top — application and enrolment fees, a refundable deposit, uniform, transport and exams.
Admissions & timing
Sought-after schools in Indonesia run waiting lists, so apply early — ideally a term or two ahead. Most admissions involve an application, prior school reports and an assessment or interview, with entry points often tied to the school year. Each school's profile shows term dates, open days and how to enquire.
Boarding
9 of the 184 schools offer boarding — useful if you're relocating or want weekly or full boarding.
How doris stays impartial
doris lists every international school in Indonesia we can find — not only those that pay. We take no placement fees and sell no rankings or "top school" spots, so the schools above aren't ordered by who paid most. Details come from the schools' own information and public sources, and you can compare any of them side by side.
