Learning in Indonesia To Be Best for the World

JIS is a diverse community of learners representing over 70 nationalities where every student is supported to achieve their very best. We create, teach, and learn together across three garden-like campuses with leading-edge facilities that support independent inquiry, critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaborative study.

Our mission is to learn in Indonesia to be Best for the World, meaning we emphasize creating positive change in our community wherever we are. As a legal entity, JIS is a yayasan (nonprofit organization) operating as a Satuan Pendidikan Kerjasama (SPK), or Joint Cooperation School, recognized by the Indonesian government and several internationally certified accreditation bodies.

With roots dating back more than 70 years, the historic Pattimura Elementary (PEL) campus can be found in Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta. PEL is on the site of the original JIS campus and is closer to the Sudirman Central Business District (SCBD).

JIS was founded in 1951 and today has four schools across three lush, open campuses in South Jakarta, with over 2000 students representing more than 70 different nationalities and over 150 clubs and activities for students to choose from.
