Apply

Scheduling a time to meet with one of our admission specialists is an exciting part of the application process.

• This is a time to let us know what is important to you. What makes your student special and gets them excited about school? We want to know! 

• This is a great opportunity for you to get all of your questions about JIS, Jakarta, and our community answered. These questions help us get to know you so we can personalize your experience in joining our community.

Submitting the online application form is the next step in the application process. We must receive all required documentation, as explained in steps two and three before we can process an application. Submission of an application does not guarantee admission. Students' eligibility for enrollment will be reviewed based on documentation submitted by their parents/guardian. 

Please pay close attention to your Application Lane as it will impact application deadlines, requirements and admission priority.

After submitting your application, you need to submit supporting documents. Your application will not be processed until these documents are complete. Your personal checklist of requirements and online supplemental forms can be accessed via your online application account. In general, these include: 

• Application fee: Rp 5 million (approximately $360)
• Academic records for the last three years of school, in English or officially translated in English.
• Confidential reference 
• Student questionnaire (Grades 3 to 12)
• Parent questionnaire (Early Years)
• For students who require learning support services: initial, progressive, and current evaluations or reports.

To avoid delays to your application, please make sure to follow the format and naming conventions shown on the application form.

• A Letter of Sponsorship — New families who do not yet have a temporary stay permit (KITAS) or whose school fees will be paid for by a sponsoring company need to submit a letter of sponsorship. This requirement is waived for founding embassy employees (US, UK, and Australia), and for JIS faculty.
• Medical and Immunization Clearance
• Transfer Certificate (Surat Mutasi) — This is a requirement from the Ministry of Culture and Education. Students in Grades 2 to 11 who are transferring to JIS from another school in Indonesia should contact their school to provide documents required to obtain this certificate. JIS must receive this certificate within 45 days of the student's first day of school at JIS.
   

All applicants go through an evaluation process. An admission decision will only be made after your child completes these evaluations.

Applicants for the Early Years will need to demonstrate developmentally appropriate skills. Assessments may include a parent interview, student observation, and/or submission of a series of short, structured videos of the student engaged in an activity. 

Applicants in Grades 1 to 12 are assessed in English language, reading, writing, and mathematics. Applicants for whom English is not the first language may be required to take an English Language Proficiency Test and attend an interview.

In Grades 1 and 2, applications are reviewed on the basis of academic history, school records, reference feedback, and in some cases an interview. 

Applicants in Grades 3 to 10 will take an admissions screening test. Student may take the test online supervised by a JIS Admissions Specialist, or on campus at JIS. Please complete the test early to avoid delays in admission outcomes.

Applications for Grade 12 are open to Lanes 1 and 2 only and are assessed on a case-by-case basis. 

Completed applications will be reviewed by the Admissions Committee.
