Gandhi Memorial is one of the named IB options in the city, listed on our Jakarta city hub and featured in our guide to the best international schools in Jakarta. Established in 1950 and now known as Gandhi Memorial Intercontinental School, it was one of the first schools in Indonesia to gain International Baccalaureate authorisation and remains a long standing choice for internationally minded families in central Jakarta.
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
Gandhi Memorial runs the full International Baccalaureate continuum in English, from the Primary Years Programme through the Middle Years Programme to the Diploma Programme and the Career related Programme in the senior years, with Cambridge IGCSE taken in the middle school. The school was authorised for the Diploma in 1996 and has since added the other programmes, giving it one of the longer IB track records in Indonesia.
The breadth suits families who want a choice between the academic IB Diploma and the more applied Career related Programme in the final years. Parents comparing routes can read our IB Diploma guide to see how the qualification is treated by universities in the UK, the United States and across the region, and can weigh the IGCSE middle years against other Jakarta options.

Gandhi Memorial Intercontinental School fees
Gandhi Memorial 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 is generally regarded as sitting toward the more accessible end of the IB field rather than at the premium level of 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 IB schools compare on price.
Beyond tuition, budget separately for registration and any deposit, transport across central Jakarta, meals, uniform and the external IGCSE and 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
Gandhi Memorial 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 given the English medium programme. Families choose an entry point along the nursery to Grade 12 range.
Families relocating to Jakarta should apply early for the most sought after grades, confirm availability in their child exact year, and ask how the IGCSE, IB Diploma and Career related cohorts are structured for the year they are joining.
Location and who goes there
The campus is in Kemayoran in Central Jakarta, where the school moved in 2004, a central location that suits families based in or commuting to the middle of the city rather than the southern expatriate suburbs. Central Jakarta places the school within reach of a broad mix of local and international families.
