About international schools in Jakarta, Indonesia

Jakarta hosts a significant cluster of authorised IB World Schools that commonly offer one or more IB programmes - the Primary Years (PYP), Middle Years (MYP) and Diploma or Career-related programmes for older students - alongside other international pathways in the city’s broad school market. Instruction is usually English-medium, with Indonesian taught as a co-curriculum language and many schools also offering Mandarin, French or other modern languages and formal English-as-an-additional-language support. Fees vary widely by campus and year group: many families budget in the mid-range of roughly IDR 150 - 350 million per year for an IB place, while premium senior-year fees can be substantially higher and lower-cost local-international options sit well below that. Admissions tend to be managed a term or more before the school year, with assessments, registration/development fees, deposits and additional charges for transport, meals, trips and IB examination costs commonly applied - waiting lists and mid-year offers are normal in popular schools.

FAQs for Indonesia

Which IB programmes will my child find in Jakarta and what ages do they cover?
Most IB World Schools in Jakarta offer one or more IB programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP) for early years and primary-aged children, the Middle Years Programme (MYP) for early secondary, and the Diploma Programme (DP) or Career-related Programme (CP) for pre-university students. Age bands are broadly PYP (roughly 3 - 11), MYP (roughly 11 - 16) and DP/CP (roughly 16 - 19), although exact year-group labels and entry points vary by school.
How much does an IB education in Jakarta typically cost?
Tuition in Jakarta varies markedly by school and by year group: many families look at a mid-range for IB places of around IDR 150 - 350 million per year, while the most expensive senior-year places can exceed that and some lower-cost international or local-international schools charge well under IDR 100 million. Expect additional compulsory and optional costs (one-off registration or development fees, refundable deposits, transport, lunches, school trips and IB examination fees) that can add materially to the headline tuition.
When should we apply and what does the admissions process usually involve?
Begin enquiries several months before your move: many Jakarta schools manage main intake ahead of the new academic year and popular campuses operate waiting lists, though schools also run mid-year admissions where space exists. The process commonly includes an application form, assessment or interview (academic and/or social), proof of previous school records and vaccinations, and payment of registration and development/enrolment fees as part of an offer.
What languages are used in the classroom and what language support is available?
Classroom instruction is primarily in English at most IB schools in Jakarta, while Indonesian is widely taught as a language subject and many schools offer other modern languages such as Mandarin, French or Korean depending on the campus. Most international schools provide English-as-an-additional-language (EAL) or learning-support programmes for non-native speakers, though the scope and cost of that support vary and may be charged separately.
What practical checks should parents make when shortlisting IB schools in Jakarta?
Check external accreditation (IB authorisation plus independent accreditation such as CIS, WASC or similar), published examination or progression data where available, and the school’s provision for pastoral care and additional learning needs. Also confirm the full fee schedule (including one-off and recurring extras), typical class sizes and teacher qualifications, school location and transport options, and whether the school’s calendar and holidays work with your family’s plans.
