About international schools in Indonesia

CBSE / Indian-curriculum international schools in Indonesia deliver the Central Board of Secondary Education syllabus used in India and most commonly teach through English while offering Hindi or other Indian-language options alongside Bahasa Indonesia as the mandated local-language subject. These schools often serve Indian expatriate families and local parents seeking continuity with the Indian system, and they sit alongside a wide international-school market in Jakarta, Tangerang, Bali and other cities where fees range from modest national-plus levels to premium international charges quoted in US dollars; some CBSE campuses report annual tuition in the mid tens of millions of rupiah while larger international schools publish much higher ranges. Admissions generally follow the Indonesian international-school calendar (new years commonly start in July - August) but many schools run rolling admissions; relocating families should be ready with passport and visa/KITAS paperwork, previous school records and vaccination history, and should check whether there are one-off development or entry charges and whether fees are billed per term or annually. Practical matters to confirm on arrival include the school’s approach to Bahasa Indonesia and national-subject requirements, how English support is provided for non-native speakers, and the billing and refund terms for deposits and enrollment fees.

FAQs for Indonesia

How is the CBSE curriculum different from other international curricula I might find in Indonesia?
CBSE is the Indian national curriculum that uses a subject-based structure and culminates in central board examinations at the end of Class 10 and Class 12; it is distinct from British (IGCSE/A-Level) and IB programmes in emphasis, assessment style and national recognition in India. Families moving between India and Indonesia often choose CBSE schools for continuity with Indian tertiary admission routes and syllabuses.
What language(s) are taught and used in classrooms at CBSE schools in Indonesia?
Most CBSE schools in Indonesia teach primarily in English while offering Hindi or other Indian languages as options and scheduling Bahasa Indonesia as a required local-language subject in line with Indonesian regulations. Parents should check how much classroom instruction is in English, how Bahasa Indonesia is integrated, and whether the school provides additional English language support for learners who need it.
How much should I expect to pay for a CBSE or Indian-curriculum international school in Indonesia?
Fees vary widely by city and campus: some national-plus or budget international options start at the lower end of the market, while many international schools in Jakarta and surrounding areas publish annual tuition that runs into the tens of thousands of US dollars for older year groups. Public fee summaries for CBSE campus listings describe annual tuition in the mid tens of millions of rupiah for some campuses, while broader Jakarta market guides show primary-year bands from roughly USD 6,000 up to USD 24,000 - 30,000 at premium schools, so compare like-for-like (tuition only versus all-in) when budgeting.
When should I apply and what documents will schools typically ask for?
Most CBSE international schools align to the July - August academic cycle but many accept applications year-round; popular entry points are at the start of the academic year and at the beginning of terms. Schools commonly require the child’s passport, visa or KITAS documentation for expatriates, recent school transcripts or progress reports, birth certificate, and up-to-date vaccination records, and some charge non-refundable application or registration fees.
What practical things should I check on a school visit as a relocating parent?
Check how the school implements Bahasa Indonesia and any national-subject requirements, the level of English-language support and remedial or gifted programmes, class sizes and teacher qualifications, and the structure of fees (termly versus annual billing, any capital/development fees and refund conditions). Also ask about transport options, health and safeguarding policies, the process for reconciliation of fee currency (IDR versus USD) if applicable, and how the school supports transitions for new international students.
