About international schools in Indonesia

CBSE / Indian Curriculum schools in Indonesia are typically Indian-curriculum campuses that follow the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) syllabus and maintain English as the primary medium of instruction while offering Indian language options alongside Bahasa Indonesia as a local/second language. These schools usually prepare students for the CBSE board examinations at the end of Grade 10 and Grade 12 and follow the CBSE subject and language frameworks now emphasising multilingual provision. Fee levels vary widely: many CBSE campuses in and around Jakarta position themselves in the mid-range of the international market (with recurring tuition commonly reported in the tens of millions of rupiah per year and one-off development/entrance charges at some campuses), so parents should compare billing frequency and one-off enrolment costs as well as annual tuition. The main intake rhythm broadly follows Indonesia’s international-school calendars with new academic years beginning in July - August, but many schools run rolling admissions and expect full documentation (passport, visa/KITAS, previous school transcripts and vaccination records) for international students.

FAQs for Indonesia

What exactly is the CBSE curriculum and what end-of-school qualifications will my child sit in Indonesia?
CBSE is an Indian national board syllabus that covers primary to senior secondary schooling and culminates in central board examinations at the end of Grade 10 (AISSE) and Grade 12 (AISSCE) where applicable; schools abroad that follow CBSE prepare students for the same board assessments and subject groupings as in India.
Which languages are used and taught in CBSE schools in Indonesia?
Teaching of core subjects in CBSE schools is normally in English, with CBSE offering a wide range of Indian languages (Hindi, regional Indian languages and classical languages) as language subjects; most CBSE campuses in Indonesia also offer Bahasa Indonesia and may provide other foreign languages as options.
How much should we budget for fees at a CBSE school in Indonesia?
Fees vary considerably between campuses and cities; public fee reporting for CBSE campuses in Jakarta shows recurring tuition examples in the mid tens of millions of rupiah per year with some campuses charging one-off development/entrance fees in the tens of millions of rupiah, while the broader international-school market in Jakarta ranges from about IDR 80 million to several hundred million per year at premium schools. Parents should request the full fee schedule (monthly/termly billing, capital levies, exam charges and activity costs) before committing.
When should we apply and what documents will the school require for an international pupil?
The main intake for many international schools in Indonesia is at the start of the local academic year (July - August) so families usually begin enquiries several months earlier, but many CBSE campuses accept applications year-round subject to space and year-group availability. Schools commonly require passport and visa/KITAS copies, recent school reports or transcripts, birth certificate, vaccination records and parent identification; some year groups also ask for translated or certified transcripts.
Will a CBSE school in Indonesia keep university options open for my child?
A CBSE education follows India’s national assessment and is widely recognised by universities in India and accepted by many international universities provided students meet specific entry requirements (for example subject prerequisites, English tests or additional qualifications); families planning a return to India often choose CBSE for a smooth curriculum continuity. If your child aims for a particular higher-education system, check subject coverage, examination options and university entry requirements with the school’s counsellor.
