ACS, Jakarta

In Brief

ACS Jakarta is a well-established international school serving 1,200+ students with Cambridge Primary, IGCSEs and IB Diploma pathways. Part of the prestigious Singapore ACS network, it offers solid facilities on an 8-hectare East Jakarta campus and maintains academic rigor, though it sits below Jakarta's absolute premium tier of JIS and BSJ.

The school operates from a spacious 8-hectare campus in East Jakarta with notable facilities including a 400-seat theatre, sports hall, two swimming pools, six tennis courts, and specialized science, music and dance rooms. Parents appreciate the connection to the Singapore ACS brand and the school's structured approach to education, with Singapore Mathematics being a particular strength. The IBDP programme produces respectable results, and the school maintains clear pathways from Cambridge Primary through to university preparation.

With over 1,200 students, ACS Jakarta serves a diverse international community while maintaining smaller class sizes than some Jakarta schools. The East Jakarta location puts it outside the traditional South Jakarta international school hub, which some families see as either a drawback or an advantage depending on their residential preferences. Alumni and current families generally speak positively about the academic standards and school culture, noting the school's emphasis on both academic achievement and character development that reflects its ACS heritage.
