The Intelligence
Schools don't pay to be listed here. Our reviews are independent, written for parents, not for schools.
If you want the complete IB continuum from age 1 through Grade 12 and Catholic values matter, Tunas Muda is one of the few options in Jakarta. Fees are mid-range, and the school has been running long enough to have credibility.
The word among expat families is that Tunas Muda is one of the few schools in Jakarta offering the complete IB continuum - PYP, MYP, and Diploma - from early childhood through high school. Founded in 1994, it's been running long enough to have credibility. The school integrates Catholic values throughout the curriculum, which matters if faith is important to your family.
What comes up again and again is the full IB pathway. Most Jakarta schools offer IB Diploma but not the full continuum. Tunas Muda runs PYP from early years, MYP in middle school, and DP in high school - a coherent pathway that appeals to families who want consistency. Fees run US$6.9K to US$27K - mid-range, making it accessible to self-funding families.
The Meruya campus serves ages 2-18, while the Kedoya campus focuses on early childhood through Grade 5. Both are in West Jakarta. If you're in South Jakarta or central Jakarta, you're looking at a commute. The Catholic identity means chapel services and faith-based character education are part of daily life - if that's not your thing, this isn't the school for you.
+What parents value
- Full IB continuum (PYP, MYP, DP) from early childhood through high school - one of the few schools in Jakarta offering this complete pathway.
- Founded in 1994, Tunas Muda has been running long enough to have credibility and an established approach to IB education.
- Fees at US$6.9K to US$27K are mid-range, making it accessible to self-funding families who want full IB without premium prices.
- Catholic values integrated throughout the curriculum - suits families who want faith-based education alongside international qualifications.
- Two campuses in West Jakarta provide options for families in different areas - Meruya for full programme, Kedoya for early years and primary.
−Points of consideration
- The Catholic identity means faith is central to school life. If that's not your thing, this isn't the school for you.
- West Jakarta locations mean a commute for families in South Jakarta or central Jakarta. Traffic can be heavy, particularly to Meruya.
- The school doesn't publish detailed fee schedules, exam results, or leadership team profiles as openly as competitors. You'll need to contact admissions directly for specifics.
- At 800 students across two campuses, extracurricular options are more limited than the bigger schools. Fewer sporting teams, fewer clubs.
- IB Diploma results aren't publicly available. If you're targeting top-tier universities, ask about individual results and university placements.
