About international schools in Indonesia

International Curriculum international schools in Indonesia are schools that deliver recognised overseas programmes - commonly the International Baccalaureate (PYP/MYP/DP), Cambridge (Primary, IGCSE, AS/A-Level) and a variety of American, Singaporean or blended “National Plus” models that combine Indonesia’s requirements with an international syllabus. English is the usual medium of instruction, with Bahasa Indonesia taught as a core subject and many schools also offering Mandarin, Arabic or European languages as additional options. Annual tuition varies widely by city and school type: modest national-plus campuses can charge in the tens of millions of rupiah, while established international campuses in Jakarta frequently publish fees from the low hundreds of millions per year and the highest year groups can be several hundred million rupiah; most families should budget additionally for registration, capital levies, transport and extracurricular costs. Admissions are typically centred on the start of the academic year (many schools run an August/September - June/July cycle) but schools accept transfers and hold places year-round, so families should check term dates and application windows early.

FAQs for Indonesia

What international curricula will my child find in Indonesia and how do they differ?
You will commonly find the International Baccalaureate (progressive, inquiry-based programmes for primary to diploma levels), Cambridge-based programmes (structured British curriculum leading to IGCSEs and A-levels) and American or Singaporean curricula which follow US or Singapore standards respectively; some schools operate a National Plus model that teaches parts of the Indonesian national curriculum alongside an international programme. The main differences are in assessment style and progression: IB emphasises holistic, inquiry learning and externally moderated diplomas, Cambridge focuses on staged subject examinations (Checkpoint/IGCSE/A-Level), and American/Singaporean options use course credits and different external testing patterns.
What language(s) of instruction should I expect?
Most international curriculum schools use English as the primary language of instruction, while Bahasa Indonesia is taught as a required subject and often used outside the classroom in the local community. Many schools also offer Mandarin, Arabic or European language programmes and may run bilingual tracks or extra language support for non-native speakers.
How much should we budget for fees and extra costs?
Tuition bands vary greatly by location and school tier: lower-cost international or national-plus schools can be priced in the tens of millions of rupiah per year, while established international campuses in Jakarta commonly charge in the low to mid hundreds of millions of rupiah for primary and secondary places, with the most senior year groups at the higher end. Expect additional one-off registration or enrolment deposits, annual capital or development levies, transport, uniforms, exam and extracurricular fees that can add 10 - 25% or more to the headline tuition.
When should we apply and what does the admissions process usually require?
The main intake is usually at the start of the school year, so families relocating should begin enquiries and secure places several months before the intended start term; many schools also accept mid-year transfers when space permits. Typical admissions requirements include an application form, recent school reports, age/identity documents, proof of vaccinations, and sometimes assessment or interview for older children and an English language check or placement testing for non-native speakers.
What practical things should a relocating family check when comparing international curriculum schools in Indonesia?
Confirm the specific curriculum(s) taught at each age level and how the school supports English language learners, check published term dates and the school’s policy on transfers and assessments, and review the full fee schedule (headline tuition plus deposits, capital levies and likely extras). Also look for accreditation or authorisation (for example IB authorisation or recognised exam centres), staffing information for language and pastoral support, and practical matters such as transport availability and school location relative to where you will live.
