BTB School

Founded in 2005 by Ibu Laviana Kurniawan, BTB has grown into an established international school celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2025. The school operates under Foundation Chairman Mr. Yudo Prima Cahyadi with Head of School Ronald Jimenez leading day-to-day operations. With over 700 students spanning early childhood through Grade 12, BTB maintains separate leadership for different school divisions, including dedicated principals for early years/primary and middle/high school sections.

As an accredited IB World School, BTB delivers the Primary Years Programme, followed by IGCSEs in middle years, and culminating in the IB Diploma Programme. The school emphasizes student leadership development through active student council elections with formal campaigns, proposals, and voting processes. Recent initiatives include basketball clinics led by Indonesian-American coach Mario Wuysang and various sports activities across multiple campus locations including facilities at Pluit Putri. The diverse student body reflects Jakarta's international community, with students participating in everything from school bulletins to leadership investiture ceremonies.

Strengths

• Full IB World School accreditation with complete pathway from PYP to DP
• 20 years of established operations in Jakarta with stable leadership
• Strong student leadership programs with formal democratic processes
• Modern facilities including science labs, art studios, and sports courts
• Active extracurricular programs including specialized sports clinics
• Diverse international student body representing multiple nationalities

Considerations

• Limited public information about specific academic results or university placement rates
• Fee structure and admission requirements not readily available
• Multiple campus locations may create logistical considerations for families
• School size of 700+ students may feel large for families seeking smaller community feel

• Existing reviews skew positive, with parents repeatedly using "family" and "close-knit" to describe the school's community.
• One parent said "the school has a high achievement rate in both academics as well as extra curricular activities" and described teachers and staff as caring.
• Class sizes are small enough that students and alumni cite the friendships made there as a defining feature.
• A minority view says the school is too small and the academics not strong enough to justify the fees, framing it as not a "classy fancy" environment for what it costs.
• The school has been an authorised IB World School since 2005, and reviewers tend to assess it on the IB Diploma and IGCSE pathway it offers.
• Aggregate scoring on directory sites lands around, driven by a small but consistent base of positive reviews.
