Why Jakarta?
Jakarta is at the heart of a nation that comprises over 300 ethnic groups with their own languages and cuisines across its more than 17,000 tropical islands. There is no shortage of culture to explore from gamelan music to Batik design and history. Jakarta is only a short way from the best diving in the world, biodiverse jungle treks, and opportunities to see animals, marine life, and birds that can’t be found anywhere else in the world.
Jakarta is also a popular hub to visit the rest of the region with regular flights to Bali, Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Seoul and more. Jakarta is a gateway to exploration within the borders of Indonesia and outside of it. As a member of the JIS community you will have access to advice and tips from hundreds of people about how to best take advantage of this distinct city.

This is the most supportive community of teachers, leaders, students, and parents. If you listen to the stories teachers and students tell, it's easy to see that our values, vision, and mission are embedded in our policies and practices. I think it is really special that these are lived and not just words on the wall. It makes it hard to imagine going anywhere else.

I love the lush green campus where you really feel connected to nature. I love that I see a holistic approach to teaching and learning in action each day. It's visible and not just words in a mission and vision statement. I love the connections that we have to our host country and that this is a priority for JIS.

JIS has been giving me working experiences that help me grow not just professionally, but it also shape my perspectives towards education, global cultures, and to be the best version of myself. I am not the best but working at JIS with the values given, make me strive to be the best of me by keeping learning from each other; colleagues, students, admins, and parents.
