The British School Jakarta (BSJ) is a British International School with a distinctive British heritage, providing outstanding education for 1,400 students aged 2-18. One of the leading international schools in South East Asia, BSJ is a vibrant global community, welcoming students and families from over 50 different nationalities. BSJ takes huge pride in the fact that it is a non-profit, non-franchise educational establishment enabling it to carve a clear path in learning and teaching.

Founded in 1973 with support from the British Embassy, British School Jakarta has a rich history of growth and transformation. From its origins as 'The British School' to becoming 'The British International School' (BIS) and a Foundation (Yayasan) in 1976, BSJ has continuously evolved. In 1990, the school relocated to its 44-acre Bintaro campus, officially opened by Prince Edward in 1994. In 2014, BSJ adopted its current name to comply with Indonesian regulations on the use of 'international' in school names, while maintaining its commitment to providing a globally recognised education.

In the rapidly changing world of international education, BSJ aspires to be a pioneering school setting new standards and recognised as a sector leader. The strategic aim is to be a school for ‘today and tomorrow’ and a series of unique partnerships, including Manchester City Football School and the Center for Systems Awareness are expanding BSJ’s sphere of influence, and in turn enriching the educational experience and choice for its students.

Wellbeing is integral to life at BSJ. In January 2024, we appointed Andrea Downie, a world-renowned wellbeing expert, as our inaugural Head of Wellbeing on the Board of Executives to lead this important area school-wide. In the last three years we have held two outstanding Wellbeing Symposiums featuring some world leading authorities on Wellbeing, Positive Psychology and systems science, including Dr Peter Senge, Robert Biswas-Deiner and Professor Lindsay Oades.

“Structure shapes behaviour” is a mantra at BSJ and in both Primary and Secondary schools; there is a 30 minute session for Wellbeing on a daily basis. Our bespoke Wellbeing Framework is constructed to support the needs of the whole BSJ community and permeates our approach along with agentic and inquiry based learning across the school. It is very much an innovative approach to such an important area of school life and future-proofing the school.

Now, in the 2024-2025 academic year, BSJ embarks on an exciting new chapter. The school will proudly unveil its new undercover stadium—one of the largest in Indonesia—and will introduce a dedicated Middle School, bridging Year 6 and Year 7, to enhance the holistic academic journey. These developments reflect our ongoing dedication to creating world-class learning environments, building on the momentum of our 50th anniversary.

**Mission, Vision & Values**

Our mission is to Inspire Excellence in Education and Life. This coupled with the vision that supports our commitment to Learning, Teaching and Wellbeing at the school enables BSJ to have a very ‘active’ approach to school life.

BSJ is a member of several International and British educational bodies, including The Federation of British International Schools in Asia (FOBISIA) of which the school is a Founding Member, The Council of British International
