JIS has 'moving on' programs at the end of each semester for kids who are either going to another posting or back to their home country. Not sure if it helps them 'repatriate' or not. But, I do feel that the transition from our home country to Indonesia curriculum is smooth for the kids coming to Jakarta International School.
