Sinarmas World Academy 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. Opened in 2008 in the planned township of BSD City to the west of central Jakarta, it combines Cambridge and the International Baccalaureate in one pathway and has grown into one of the larger purpose built international campuses in the region.
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
Sinarmas World Academy runs a blended pathway in English. From kindergarten to Grade 5 it teaches the Cambridge Primary curriculum within an inquiry framework, in Grades 6 to 10 it integrates the Cambridge IGCSE syllabuses inside the IB Middle Years Programme, and in Grades 11 and 12 students take the IB Diploma Programme. The combination gives students both the widely understood IGCSE benchmark and the internationally recognised IB Diploma.
The structure suits families who value the rigour of Cambridge in the middle years followed by the breadth of the IB Diploma at the top of the school. Parents comparing routes can read our IB Diploma guide to see how the qualification is treated by universities worldwide, and can weigh the blended model against the pure IB or British schools elsewhere in Jakarta.

Sinarmas World Academy fees
Sinarmas World Academy 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. As a large purpose built campus offering both Cambridge and the IB, it is generally positioned at the more premium end of the Jakarta market, but families should treat that as a qualitative guide only. Our guide to the best international schools in Jakarta sets out how the leading campuses compare on price.
Beyond tuition, budget separately for registration and any deposit, transport out to BSD City, 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
Sinarmas World Academy 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 across the early years 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 Cambridge and IB stages connect for the cohort they are joining.
Location and who goes there
The campus is in BSD City in Tangerang, a large planned township to the west of central Jakarta that has become a hub for newer schools and expatriate housing. The location suits families based in the western and BSD areas rather than the southern suburbs, and the trade off for the distance from the centre is a spacious modern campus.
