About this school
Jakarta Japanese School (JJS) is an overseas school for Japanese children living in and around Jakarta. It opened in May 1969 as a school attached to the Embassy of Japan, with 11 pupils in a rented warehouse in Tebet, and added a junior high division the following year. It is recognised by Japan's education ministry as an overseas educational institution with curricula equivalent to Japanese elementary and junior high schools.
JJS follows the Japanese national course of study in the same way as public schools in Japan, including the required number of teaching hours. Lessons in Indonesian language and culture are built into life studies and integrated study time, and English is taught as a foreign language. In Indonesia the school now holds diplomatic-mission school status.
The school is located in Bintaro Jaya Sector 9, South Tangerang. School life includes club activities, school trips such as a junior high trip to Yogyakarta, school bus services and exchange events.
