Welcome

At the British School Jakarta (BSJ), we believe that exceptional schools are built by exceptional people. Guided by our mission to Inspire Excellence in Education and Life, we are a dynamic and forward-thinking community that values innovation, integrity, and wellbeing as the foundations of outstanding teaching and learning.


As one of Southeast Asia’s leading British international schools, BSJ provides an inclusive and vibrant environment for over 1,400 students aged 2–18, representing more than 50 nationalities. Our teachers and professional staff come from around the world, united by a shared purpose—to make a genuine difference in the lives of young people.

Why Work at BSJ?

At BSJ, wellbeing is not an initiative — it is the essence of who we are and how we flourish together. Our ten-year Wellbeing Strategic Framework represents a world-class, evidence-informed approach that positions wellbeing at the heart of everything we do, from leadership and teaching to how we care for one another and our planet. Rooted in our belief that human and collective flourishing define true success, the framework shapes every aspect of school life: nurturing resilience, purpose, and authentic connection among students, staff, and families alike. 


With wellbeing as the foundation of our culture, we create environments that are supportive, and empowering — enabling every member of our community to thrive personally, professionally, and collectively.

  • Housing and Cost of Living Allowance – Supporting a comfortable lifestyle in Jakarta.

  • Gratuity – 25% of annual base salary paid at the end of each contract period.
  • Income Tax – Fully borne by the school.


We believe that a rewarding career goes beyond remuneration. It’s about purpose, growth, and a community where we can collectively thrive. 


If our vision resonates with you, we invite you to explore what it means to be part of the BSJ community. We are looking for educators and professionals who are not only outstanding in their fields but who also care deeply about people, purpose, and impact.
