Thank you for considering British School Jakarta (BSJ) for your child's education.  I am delighted to welcome you to a remarkable year at BSJ, as we celebrate our 50th anniversary.  

At BSJ, we believe that genuine educational excellence transcends mere academic achievement. Our unwavering dedication to our Mission, Vision, and Values functions as our compass, directing our educational journey in every respect. We place the utmost importance on student wellbeing, integrating it into our curriculum. This strategy guarantees that each student not only excels academically, but also develops personal resilience. Our BSJ Wellbeing Programme is meticulously designed to empower students and promote their academic, emotional, and physical development. At its core is the development of trust between students and between students and our faculty. This promotes an environment characterised by respect, thoughtfulness, and tolerance.  

In the Secondary School, we are extremely proud of our highly successful academic programme, which is delivered using the internationally renowned IB framework: Middle Years Programme (MYP), Diploma Programme (DP), and Career-related Programme (CP). This approach prioritises student-centred, inquiry-based learning and will equip our students with a broad spectrum of knowledge and skills that are essential for their transition to higher education. These programmes also empower our students to understand the intricate relationships and dynamics that shape our world, equipping them with the tools to navigate challenges, solve problems, and make informed decisions.  In an age where global issues demand innovative solutions, the knowledge and skills imparted by this training are invaluable.  

But BSJ is more than just a place of learning; it is a vibrant community. Our extensive extracurricular programme provides numerous opportunities for students to grow as individuals outside the classroom. From sports and performing arts to community service and international trips, our students have a wealth of experiences to enrich their personal development.

As we embark on this special year, I invite you to join us in celebrating 50 years of educational excellence and to embrace the promise of what lies ahead.
