Which Jakarta Schools Offer the IB Diploma?
Nine schools in the greater Jakarta area are authorised to deliver the IB Diploma Programme. Seven publish their fees. Two - Sekolah Pelita Harapan (SPH) and Sinarmas World Academy (SWA) - do not make fee schedules publicly available and are excluded from this ranking.
Mentari Intercultural School Bintaro (MISB) also holds IB DP authorisation but has limited publicly available fee data, so it is excluded too.
The seven schools ranked below all publish fee information either on their websites, in official documents, or through verifiable third-party sources.

The Top Tier
JIS - Jakarta Intercultural School
JIS is Jakarta's largest and most internationally diverse school - 2,500+ students from over 70 nationalities. The IB Diploma is offered alongside AP (Advanced Placement), giving students a choice of two exit qualifications. This dual pathway model means JIS attracts both IB-inclined families and those who prefer the subject-by-subject flexibility of AP.
JIS is a non-profit Yayasan. High school fees sit at approximately $28,000-$35,916 per year. The campus in Pondok Indah is arguably the strongest school facility in Jakarta. College counselling is experienced and well-resourced, and the co-curricular programme is the broadest of any school in the city.
BSJ - British School Jakarta
BSJ runs the English National Curriculum through to IGCSE at Year 11, then offers the IB Diploma in Sixth Form (Years 12-13). This hybrid model - British rigour through Key Stage 4, then IB breadth at 16 - is deliberate. Sixth Form fees sit at $32,910 per year.
BSJ is a non-profit trust with five decades of history. Its Bintaro campus is one of the best-resourced school environments in the country. Staff are predominantly UK-qualified. The IGCSE-to-IB pathway produces students who arrive at the Diploma well prepared for independent study.
AIS - Australian Independent School Jakarta
AIS runs the Australian National Curriculum from Preschool to Year 10, then switches to the IB Diploma for Years 11-12. The school publishes a detailed fee schedule - Y11-12 tuition including capital levy is $26,308 per year, putting it below BSJ and JIS but firmly in the premium bracket.
AIS is well-regarded for pastoral care and has a strong learning support programme (with a separately published fee schedule for EAL and specialist support). The campus is in Pejaten, South Jakarta. Calendar year (January-December) rather than August-June - worth noting for families arriving mid-year.
The Mid Tier
JIS, BSJ and AIS sit in a different bracket from the schools below - in fees, in facilities, and in the breadth of programme they can offer. The schools in this section are credible IB options at a lower price point. Some deliver impressive results. All involve trade-offs that the top-tier schools do not.
ACG - ACG School Jakarta
ACG runs the full IB continuum - PYP, MYP and Diploma Programme - alongside a New Zealand curriculum framework. Fees at DP level are approximately $24,673 per year. The school draws a mix of expat and Indonesian families. ACG sits at the top end of the mid tier and benefits from a coherent IB pathway from primary upward.
Binus Simprug
Binus Simprug is an SPK school - Indonesian-founded with an international curriculum licence. The student body is majority Indonesian. The school runs the full IB continuum (PYP, MYP, DP) and has published an IB average score of 34 with a 95% pass rate. At around $15,000 per year at the high end, that represents the strongest IB value proposition in Jakarta.
For families who want an IB pathway and cannot stretch to JIS or BSJ fees, Binus Simprug is the first name to investigate. The trade-off is cultural: it will feel different from JIS or BSJ. The peer group is predominantly Indonesian. For some families that is a positive; for others it shapes the experience in ways that matter.
NJIS - North Jakarta Intercultural School
NJIS sits in Kelapa Gading in North Jakarta and runs the full IB continuum. For families based north of the city centre, geography narrows the choice significantly - NJIS is one of very few credible international schools in that part of Jakarta. Fees are in the $16,000-$18,000 range at Diploma level.
Verify current IB authorisation status, class sizes and teacher qualifications directly. The school is smaller than the South Jakarta options and has a different feel.
GMIS - Gandhi Memorial Intercontinental School
GMIS holds the fullest IB portfolio in Jakarta - PYP, MYP, Diploma Programme and the Career-related Programme (CP). Authorised for IB since 1996, it has the longest IB track record of any school in Indonesia. The campus is in Kemayoran, Central Jakarta.
At around $10,000 at Diploma level, GMIS is the most affordable IB option in Jakarta. For families who want an IB Diploma pathway at a lower price point, it deserves a visit. GMIS also offers Cambridge IGCSEs and A Levels alongside IB, giving students multiple exit qualification options.
IB Results - What's Published and What Isn't
Most Jakarta IB schools do not publicly publish detailed Diploma results. This makes a results-based ranking difficult.
What is available:
- Binus Simprug publishes an IB average score of 34 points and a 95% pass rate - above the global average of approximately 33 points
- SPH has historically published strong results (a reported cohort average of 35.89 in one published year, with two students achieving 45/45) - but SPH is excluded from this ranking because it does not publish fees
- JIS and BSJ share results selectively through admissions presentations and open days but do not publish them on their websites
- AIS, ACG, NJIS and GMIS do not appear to publish IB results publicly
The absence of published results does not mean results are poor. But it does mean parents should ask directly - and compare what they hear against the global IB averages. The worldwide IB Diploma pass rate was approximately 79% in 2024, with a global average score of around 30 points.
