Independent School of Jakarta claims top ranking on international schools platform

The Independent School of Jakarta has been ranked first in Jakarta on what it describes as the world's leading international schools platform, according to a press release published by Florida Today.

The school, a British international preparatory institution serving children aged 2 to 13, did not name the platform responsible for the ranking in the available material. The press release described the campus as modern and located in leafy surroundings.

The announcement comes as international schools in Jakarta compete for position in a crowded market. Several platforms now publish school rankings and league tables, though their methodologies and criteria vary significantly. Some weight academic results, while others factor in facilities, teacher qualifications, or parent satisfaction surveys.

The Independent School of Jakarta follows the British curriculum and operates as a preparatory school, meaning students typically move to secondary schools elsewhere after Year 8. This model differs from through-schools such as Jakarta Intercultural School or British School Jakarta, which educate students from early years through to university entrance.

The school did not provide detail on the ranking criteria or the number of Jakarta schools assessed. Florida Today published the statement as a press release on 15 February.
