Apply

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. 

If your child is receiving learning support services, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, or any other support services for learning, behavior, or wellness, please let us know before filling out an application. We will start communicating with you about your child's particular needs and let you know what documentation to include in your child's application. 

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.

NOTE
Parents are advised that applicants who are admitted to JIS will need to submit the following upon registration:

• 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 from Early Years to Grade 12 go through an evaluation process that assesses skills in English language, reading, writing, and mathematics. An admission decision will only be made after your child completes these evaluations.

Early Years Program 

The applicant and parents will meet with a member of the Admissions Review Board to ascertain the applicant's readiness for the program. This meeting must be in person. 

Grades 1 to 5  

Applications will be reviewed on the basis of school records and references. Some applicants may be asked to take an admissions screening test or meet with the Admissions Review Board.

Grades 6 to 10 

All applicants will take an admissions screening test. Under approved conditions, this test can be taken at the student’s current school. If that is not possible, the student may take the test at JIS. Delays in testing will delay a decision. 

Grades 11 and 12

Applications will be reviewed on the basis of school records and references. Some applicants may be asked to take admission tests or meet with the Admissions Review Board.

After completing the first four steps of the JIS Application you are all done! Upon completion, the Admissions Review Board will review your child’s application.
