Ichthus School: full profile

Ichthus School is a christian international school serving the Jakarta area. It is a Christian international school established in 2001 and accredited by ACSI and WASC. For relocating families the useful questions are how the curriculum and stages work, where the campus sits within the city, and where the fees land, and this profile addresses each in turn without inventing figures the school has not published.

Ichthus School at a glance

Curriculum and academics

Ichthus School teaches an english medium international curriculum in English, which shapes the daily timetable, the assessment pattern and the university pathways open to leavers. Ask the school how the stages connect from the early years upward, how it reports progress, and where recent leavers have gone on to study.

As a christian school, Ichthus School sets its academic programme within a faith based ethos, with worship, service and character education running alongside lessons. Families of many backgrounds attend, and the honest question for any prospective parent is how comfortable the family is with that ethos shaping the school day. Ask directly how faith is taught and how it sits beside the academic programme.

The other comparison to weigh is this school against the secular international options in Jakarta. Read our Best Christian international schools in Jakarta shortlist for the wider field, and use the curriculum guide to check the pathway suits your child.

Ichthus School fees

We do not publish a specific fee figure for Ichthus School, because we will not print a number we cannot stand behind. Fees at Jakarta international schools span a wide range by stage and campus, so the school's published schedule by grade is the figure to plan against. Our fees explorer shows how the wider market is banded.

Beyond tuition, budget for a registration or application fee, a deposit, and optional costs such as transport, meals, examinations, technology and trips. Fees tend to rise each year, so plan for increases across a multi year stay rather than a flat rate, and ask whether sibling discounts apply.

Admissions

Entry runs across the stages, with assessment suited to the year a child is joining and a review of recent school reports. As a sought after school, Ichthus School can have limited places in popular year groups, so early application matters.

Gather recent reports, any standardised assessment results and, for older entrants, a transcript. Register your interest as soon as your relocation is confirmed and ask about assessment dates, the entry points across the stages and how children joining from a different system are supported.

Location and who goes there

Ichthus School is in Jakarta, based in Pondok Indah and Kebon Jeruk, Jakarta. Where you choose to live shapes both the commute and the community, so weigh the campus location against your likely neighbourhood before you commit.

The intake is a mix of local families drawn to the christian ethos and international families relocating to the city. To see how Ichthus School compares with the rest of the field, start from the Jakarta city hub and work outward by curriculum, stage and budget.

Ichthus School reviews

We do not yet hold any verified parent reviews for Ichthus School. GlobalSchoolGuide is an independent guide and no school pays to be listed, so we publish a rating only once we have gathered enough verified first hand accounts to be fair to the school and to the families reading them. We would rather show nothing than show an invented score.

If your family has attended Ichthus School we would value your account of the curriculum, the faith ethos, pastoral care and value for money. Share it through our school reviews hub and we will add verified contributions to this page.
