When we asked about the schools in Jakarta, they said...

"I believe your child would be quite happy at JIS and the kids are quick to include new kids and get them acquainted with others and the school and environment," wrote an expat with kids at Jakarta International School in Jakarta.

"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)," commented one expat when asked about in Jakarta.
