School Life | Character, Culture & Community
A vibrant school experience for our families and pupils at our British international school in Pondok Indah
While we may be known for academic success, life outside the classroom is just as important at ISJ. As a British international school in Jakarta, we place equal value on experiences that help pupils grow into confident, well-rounded individuals. Music, sport, the arts, and co-curricular pursuits are woven into daily life, ensuring children find joy, balance, and purpose.
Music and the performing arts hold a central place, from choir and classroom music to drama and productions that give every pupil the chance to perform and create. Sport and adventure are equally valued, encouraging resilience, teamwork, and healthy living. These experiences are not extras, but integral to an independent school education in the British tradition.
Above all, school life at ISJ is about character. Pupils are encouraged to lead, to serve, and to approach challenges with integrity and determination. Families choosing an international school in Pondok Indah can expect not only academic rigour but a culture that nurtures courage, curiosity, and kindness — qualities that prepare children to thrive wherever life takes them.
“ISJ has provided my child with a safe environment to explore his interests and challenge his thinking. We’ve really appreciated how the school has helped build both his confidence and outward behaviour.”
“Children are encouraged to use their imagination, think creatively, and explore the world around them.”
Welcome to The Independent School of Jakarta
As parents, you want your child to enjoy a joyful and fulfilled childhood—one filled with happy memories, nature, and adventures.
