Secondary School

The IB Diploma offered at British SchoolJakarta emphasises academic depth across six subjects, while the Career-related Programme combines academic study with real-world experience. Both cultivate communication, analytical thinking, and problem-solving skills that prepare students for higher education and future careers in Indonesia and beyond.

Theory of Knowledge

The Theory of Knowledge course invites students to explore how knowledge is constructed through perception, emotion, reason, and language. They investigate diverse disciplines such as science, mathematics, art, and history, learning to evaluate evidence and consider different viewpoints.

This course fosters critical thinking and reflection, helping students connect ideas across disciplines. Assessment includes a written essay and a presentation or exhibition that demonstrate their ability to think clearly and communicate ideas effectively.

By engaging in the Theory of Knowledge, learners develop an analytical mindset and a reflective approach that prepare them for university study and future professional growth.

Extended Essay

The Extended Essay is a cornerstone of the IB Diploma’s focus on independent research and academic writing. Guided by a supervising teacher, students formulate a research question, conduct an in-depth investigation, and produce a 4,000-word essay.

This process builds essential skills in research, organisation, and time management while mirroring the expectations of university-level study. The course gives students a strong foundation for academic writing and critical analysis that benefits them long after graduation.

Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS)

Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) encourages students to apply learning beyond the classroom through experiences that nurture creativity, health, and community engagement.

• Creativity: Artistic expression, design, and innovation projects.
• Activity: Sports, outdoor challenges, and fitness initiatives.
• Service: Community service and social impact projects across Jakarta.

Through CAS, students learn leadership, empathy, and teamwork while developing a balanced sense of purpose. These experiences cultivate well-rounded, socially responsible individuals who contribute meaningfully to the world around them.
