In Brief
Gandhi Memorial International School is a large international school in Kemayoran serving 2,000+ students with IB and Cambridge pathways, founded in 1999 as part of the Gandhi Seva Loka network rooted in Jakarta's Sindhi community. The school offers comprehensive facilities and multiple curriculum options including the full IB continuum alongside IGCSEs and Indian curriculum tracks.
Established in 1999 under Gandhi Seva Loka, GMIS builds on the educational legacy of the Bombay Merchants Association founded in 1947 by Jakarta's Sindhi community elders. The school traces its heritage to the original Gandhi Memorial School in Pasar Baru, which gained formal recognition under the Indian Embassy in 1966. With over 2,000 students, GMIS has grown into one of Jakarta's larger international schools while maintaining its connection to the broader GSL educational network that includes multiple campuses across the city.
The Kemayoran campus offers comprehensive educational pathways through the complete IB continuum from Primary Years Programme through Diploma Programme, alongside Cambridge IGCSEs and Indian curriculum options. This multi-pathway approach serves families seeking either internationally recognized qualifications or Indian educational standards. The school's facilities include science laboratories, computer labs, library, sports facilities, and an auditorium supporting both academic and extracurricular programs across its diverse student body.
