North Jakarta Intercultural School has been North Jakarta’s leading international school for over 30 years now with students from Indonesia, Australia, Canada, China, England, Germany, India, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Paraguay, Portugal, Singapore and the United States. We are truly a global community. NJIS is also the only school in the area to be accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) based in the United States. This accreditation will help to give your child access to some of the best universities in North America and around the world. It also lets you know that your child is enrolled in a school that meets exactly the same standards as the best schools in the US. We are currently in the process of becoming an International Baccalaureate (IB) School at the Primary, Middle School, and Diploma Programme levels*. Academic standards are high at NJIS, and we believe that students learn best when they have : Mastery: Students learn best when teachers help them visualize their growth and improvement from week to week and year to year. Autonomy: Students learn best when they are given opportunities to develop independence and when they feel that they have some control over their learning process. Purpose: Students learn best when they can see the purpose of their learning and when the projects they engage in have real-life impact, making the world a better place. As our school vision states, “We develop future leaders with the wisdom and passion to enact change.” NJIS believes in discovering excellence in every child, and we do this through a process of individualized learning. Our core strength is our teachers who are all fully qualified and passionate professionals in their field. All of our teachers are certified from their home country and more than half of our expatriate faculty hold a Masters or Doctorate degree.
