About this school
Al Jabr Islamic School in Pondok Labu, Cilandak, South Jakarta, was founded in 2004 with 25 students. It was originally set up to provide a stable income for an orphanage run by its foundation, and has grown to more than 700 students from pre-kindergarten to Grade 12. The school describes itself as the first Islamic IB continuum school in South-East Asia.
Its motto, 'Interconnecting learner with Islam, Indonesia and International', reflects a programme that combines Islamic teaching, Indonesian identity and international education. Students follow the IB Primary Years Programme, including the PYP exhibition, then the Middle Years Programme with its personal project and service as action, and in the final years the IB Career-related Programme with a reflective project and service learning.
The school emphasises student agency and leadership, community service and active, inquiry-based learning, guided by the Qur'an as a foundation for life. Teachers take part in professional development and collaborative projects, and the school hosts community events such as its Festival of Hope.
