Australian Independent School Jakarta is one of the named international options in the city, listed on our Jakarta city hub and featured in our guide to the best international schools in Jakarta. Founded in 1996 and part of AIS Indonesia, it is one of the few Jakarta schools built around the Australian Curriculum, capped by the IB Diploma in the final years, and it draws a mixed community of around thirty nationalities.
This profile is an independent reference page. GlobalSchoolGuide takes no payment from schools and nothing here was placed because a school paid for it. The details below were researched from the school and public sources at the time of writing, and anything we could not confirm with confidence is marked not published rather than guessed.
At a glance
Curriculum and academics
AIS Jakarta teaches the Australian Curriculum in English from the early years through to Year 10, then switches to the IB Diploma for Years 11 and 12. The pairing gives students a well structured Australian foundation followed by the internationally recognised IB Diploma at the top of the school, a combination that works well for Australian families and for globally mobile families who value both systems.
The route suits families expecting to move again or to apply to universities in Australia, the UK, the United States or the region, since the IB Diploma is widely recognised. Parents comparing pathways can read our IB Diploma guide and weigh the Australian foundation against the British and pure IB routes offered by other Jakarta schools.

Australian Independent School Jakarta fees
Australian Independent School Jakarta does not publish a single confirmed tuition figure that we can verify here, so we mark the precise band not published rather than print an unverified number. Within the Jakarta market it generally sits in the mid to premium band rather than at the very top with the largest campuses, but families should treat that as a qualitative guide only. Our guide to the best international schools in Jakarta sets out how the schools compare on price.
Beyond tuition, budget separately for registration and any deposit, transport across South Jakarta between the Kemang and Pejaten campuses, meals, uniform and the external IB examination entry fees in the senior years. Confirm the full current schedule directly with the school and use our Jakarta secondary fees reference to frame the wider market.
Admissions
AIS Jakarta admits across the year where places remain and assesses applicants against prior school records and an age appropriate evaluation, with English readiness weighed in the older year groups. The school is known for an inclusive approach, and families choose an entry point across the preschool to Year 12 range.
Families relocating to Jakarta should apply early for the most sought after year levels, confirm availability in their child exact year, and ask how the move from the Australian Curriculum into the IB Diploma is handled for the cohort they are joining.
Location and who goes there
The school runs two campuses in South Jakarta, with the primary school in Kemang and the secondary school in Pejaten, both in the part of the city where many expatriate families settle. The southern location keeps commutes manageable for that community, and the split campus model means the stage your child is at determines which site you use day to day.
