Comprehensive Educational Programmes from Early Years to Sixth Form

Kindergarten Programme

Our international kindergarten's play-based approach provides a nurturing and stimulating learning environment for children aged 2–5 years. Based on the UK Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Development Matters framework, holistic learning is achieved through a system that allows students to progress at their own pace.

Primary School Programme

Our primary school curriculum at British School Jakarta (BSJ) is designed to provide a well-rounded education based on both the English National Curriculum (ENC) for Maths and English, as well as an inquiry-based approach which covers our foundation subjects.

Secondary School Programme

Our Secondary School pathway begins with the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) for Years 7–11, which supports students as they transition from Primary into more advanced, inquiry-based learning. Through a balanced curriculum that emphasises critical thinking, creativity, and real-world application, students build the strong academic foundations and personal skills needed for success in the senior years.

In Years 12 and 13, students are offered the opportunity to enrol into our IB Diploma Programme, perfect for preparing students interested in further academic pursuits.

Highly regarded internationally, the IB programme encourages students to become critical thinkers, effective communicators, and well-rounded individuals who are prepared to excel in higher education.

Our students achieve an average IB score of 35, reflecting strong outcomes and ambitious university pathways.

Expert International Teachers & Hands-On Pedagogy

At BSJ, our teachers are internationally experienced educators who bring best practices from respected schools around the world, not simply “foreign” staff.

Through the IB framework, they guide students with an enquiry-led approach that encourages participation, curiosity, and independent thinking.

Lessons are designed around hands-on learning experiences that help students apply knowledge with confidence, building real understanding beyond memorisation.

As an independent school, BSJ is able to set its own standards for teaching, learning, and wellbeing, allowing us to build strong relationships, maintain high expectations, and inspire students to become lifelong learners.

British School Jakarta (BSJ) is a reputable international school in Jakarta for expatriate families who want a smooth transition, a welcoming community, and a globally recognised education pathway.

With more than 50 nationalities across the school, students quickly build friendships and feel a sense of belonging.

Our IB education, experienced international staff, and wellbeing-first culture help children settle in confidently, while staying challenged and supported from Early Years through to Sixth Form.

Student Wellbeing And Pastoral Care

At British School Jakarta (BSJ), student wellbeing is embedded into everyday school life, shaping how we learn, connect, and grow as a community.

We define wellbeing as the confidence, resilience, and emotional security students need to thrive academically and personally.

Our comprehensive framework includes pastoral support, student guidance, and responsive care that helps every child feel safe, seen, and supported.

From day-to-day check-ins to structured support services, we prioritise mental health and emotional wellbeing alongside learning progress.

We also work closely with families, strengthening home-school partnerships through open communication and initiatives such as our Parent Wellbeing Parent Series.

This whole-school approach ensures students feel empowered to participate fully in learning, build positive relationships, and flourish through every stage of their BSJ journey.
