About international schools in Indonesia

French-curriculum international schools in Indonesia teach the French national curriculum and many operate with homologation or links to France’s AEFE network, offering pathways that lead to the French Baccalauréat or the Baccalauréat Français International in some schools. Instruction is primarily in French but most schools build in strong English programmes and teach Bahasa Indonesia as the host-country language; some sites also run bilingual or international sections and CLIL-style subject teaching. Fees vary by city and level, but in larger centres like Jakarta annual tuition commonly spans from roughly IDR 80 million in early years up to around IDR 200 million or more for upper secondary at some schools; exact charges depend on the school, year group and the family’s nationality or corporate status. Admissions follow the August/September school year cycle with schools running admissions commissions and intakes across the year, so relocating families should check each school’s language-pathway options, entry assessments and place availability well before moving.

FAQs for Indonesia

What curriculum and diploma will my child follow in a French international school in Indonesia?

Most French international schools teach the French national curriculum as defined by the French Ministry of Education and prepare pupils for French national examinations; where offered, the Baccalauréat Français International (BFI) or international sections provide bilingual/multicultural streams within that framework. Homologation or links with the AEFE means the school’s programme is aligned with France’s standards and can support continuity for families moving between France and the network.

Which languages are used and how is support given to non-French speakers?

French is the primary language of instruction, while English is widely taught as a second language and Bahasa Indonesia is normally part of the curriculum for all pupils; some schools offer reinforced bilingual pathways or international sections that increase English or another language share. Schools commonly provide language assessment and tailored language support for new arrivals, and some secondary pupils may follow CNED or adapted pathways while they gain French proficiency.

How much should we expect to pay for tuition?

Tuition varies considerably by campus, year group and whether a family is eligible for any fee categories, but in major Indonesian cities published fees at established French schools show annual tuition often in the range of around IDR 80 million for early years up to roughly IDR 200 million+ for upper secondary. Always check the school’s current fee schedule and the total cost of enrollment, which can include registration fees, insurance, transport and examination charges.

When should we apply and how competitive are places?

French schools follow the September school year and many operate admissions commissions that review applications throughout the year, with priority rules (for example for pupils already in the French system) used by some homologated schools; this means places can be allocated by commission or waiting list rather than first-come-only. For a family relocating internationally, it is advisable to open the application well before the intended September start and to confirm whether the school requires language assessments, documents translated into French and any deposit to hold a place.

What should parents check when choosing a French school in Indonesia?

Look for whether the school is homologated or linked to the AEFE, which affects curriculum continuity and inspection; examine the language-pathway options (how much French versus English and Bahasa Indonesia is taught), the school’s support for non-French speakers, available classroom sizes and pastoral services, and the published fee and admissions policies. Visiting the campus, asking about transition support and reviewing recent school publications or the enrolment procedures will give a clearer picture of day-to-day fit for your child.
