We hope these answers to some FAQs will help as you consider supporting our fundraising and philanthropy programs. Please don't hesitate to contact our JIS Chief Advancement Officer, Emma Silva, with any further questions: advancement@jisedu.or.id

Why does JIS need to fundraise?

At JIS, our dedication to delivering outstanding international education for your children is unwavering. Upholding this commitment demands meticulous management of our school budget, which is geared toward fostering exceptional teaching and learning experiences.

While tuition and other fees are integral, our lofty educational aspirations necessitate supplementary funding to fully actualize them for our students. This entails a continual process of refining and enriching our programs to ensure they remain current and aligned with global best practices.

As a not-for-profit Indonesian Yayasan, JIS relies on donations from the entire community to make this happen. Your contributions are vital in ensuring that we preserve our longstanding tradition of educational excellence — for the current generation of JIS Dragons and many more to come.

This campaign highlights the collective impact we can achieve when we unite with our shared Dragon passion and pride. Each year, we will rally together to fundraise for goals determined by our community, ensuring that these funds are promptly put into action.
