International Schools
International Schools in Jakarta
Foreign-curriculum schools in Indonesia are classed as Satuan Pendidikan Kerjasama (SPK) - Cooperation Education Schools. A 2014 regulation banned the word "International" from school names, so most schools below have rebranded. Each SPK school must partner with an accredited Indonesian foundation, employ Indonesian staff, and hold a licence from Kemendikdasmen (the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education, formed when the old Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology split in October 2024). Domestic accreditation runs through BAN-S/M, separate from the foreign curriculum's own accrediting body.
Accreditation status varies more than school marketing suggests - IB "candidate" is not IB "authorised." Tour the school and confirm current accreditation before enrolling; circumstances change faster than any directory can track. Spot an error or closure? Tell us.
