At a glance
ACG School Jakarta opened in South Jakarta in 2003, part of the ACG group of schools, which had begun in the city with an English school at Kelapa Gading in 2001. It is a private, co educational and non selective international school teaching from kindergarten at age three through to Year 13. Its distinguishing feature is that it runs two recognised international pathways under one roof, the Cambridge route and the International Baccalaureate, which gives families an unusual amount of choice at senior level. You can set it against the wider market of international schools in Jakarta through our city hub.

Curriculum and academics
ACG School Jakarta offers a Cambridge pathway and an IB pathway in parallel. On the Cambridge side, students follow Cambridge Lower Secondary, then IGCSE in the middle years and A Levels in the sixth form, the route most familiar to British and Commonwealth families. On the international side, the school is an authorised IB World School running the Primary Years Programme in the junior school and the IB Diploma Programme at sixth form, with Spanish and French available as additional languages. Offering both qualifications lets families choose the subject focus and university destinations that suit their child, whether that is a specialised A Level combination or the broader IB Diploma. Ask the school for its most recent IGCSE, A Level and IB results and university destinations for the fullest academic picture.
ACG School Jakarta fees
ACG School Jakarta fees sit in the mid to upper band for the city, below the most expensive established internationals but above the value tier. Annual tuition rises by year group, with the sixth form the most expensive stage and kindergarten the most affordable entry point. We do not print a single headline figure here because the school revises fees each year and publishes the current schedule to applicants, and you can sense check the band against our guide to international school fees in Jakarta. Beyond tuition, budget for a registration or assessment fee, a seat deposit, examination entry fees in the senior years, uniform and optional transport, which matters given Jakarta traffic. Ask the admissions office about any instalment plans.

Admissions
Admission runs on a rolling basis across an academic year that starts in August, with places confirmed subject to age appropriate assessment and availability. As a non selective school, ACG looks for a reasonable fit rather than a competitive entrance examination, though senior applicants joining IGCSE, A Level or the IB Diploma will discuss prior grades and subject combinations, and the school will assess English where needed. Families relocating to South Jakarta should arrange senior entry ahead of the August intake, while younger year groups can often take mid year arrivals subject to space. Confirm visa and documentation requirements with the school directly.
Location and who goes there
The campus is in Jati Padang, in the Pasar Minggu area of South Jakarta, a part of the city long favoured by expatriate families for its concentration of international schools and access to the southern residential belt. South Jakarta neighbourhoods such as Kemang, Cilandak and Pondok Indah cluster nearby and house diplomatic, energy sector and corporate families, many of whom choose schools within a manageable commute given the city's traffic. The dual pathway offer draws British and Commonwealth families alongside those who want the IB Diploma. For the wider picture of where families settle across the city, return to the Jakarta city hub.
