When we asked about the schools in Jakarta, they said...
"Jakarta is home to a number of excellent international and bilingual schools. One of the best international schools in Jakarta is the Jakarta Intercultural School (JIS). JIS is an IB World School offering the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP) and Diploma Programme (DP). It is a non-profit, co-educational school that provides a rigorous, inquiry-based education to students from over 50 countries. Another top international school in Jakarta is the British International School Jakarta (BISJ). BISJ is an independent, co-educational school offering the National Curriculum of England and Wales from Early Years to Year 13. It is a member of the Council of British International Schools (COBIS) and is accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS). The Jakarta International Korean School (JIKS) is a great bilingual school in Jakarta. JIKS is a private, co-educational school offering a Korean-English bilingual education from Kindergarten to Grade 12. It is accredited by the Korean Ministry of Education and is a member of the Korean International School Association (KISA). Finally, the Jakarta Japanese School (JJS) is another excellent bilingual school in Jakarta. JJS is a private, co-educational school offering a Japanese-English bilingual education from Kindergarten to Grade 12. It is accredited by the Japanese Ministry of Education and is a member of the Japanese School Association in Indonesia (JSAI)," said one expat in Jakarta with children at .
"When in Jakarta come see the school in person. You can look up the phone number on the website http://www.bis.or.id & make an appointment, but as in our case we just turned up & the lovely Christine in admissions took us around to see the school. My husband is American but we chose BIS over the "American" school in Jakarta because BIS teaches the youngest children academics (reading & math) earlier & instills a true sense of community in the children. Not only are my kids proud to wear the BIS uniform but also enjoy helping the local people in charities run from class. They also promote recycling at school from the youngest to the eldest. BIS has the most beautiful campus of all the schools in Jakarta & it's safety conscious without being barricaded behind 10ft walls. The air quality is probably better too, as local traffic isn't right outside the main gate," remarked one parent with kids at British International School Jakarta in Jakarta.
