About this school
Yogyakarta Independent School (YIS) opened in 1989, when the foundation YPIY was set up on 20 May that year to launch and run what was then Yogyakarta International School; it later took its current name. Starting with 30 students and four teachers, it has grown into Yogyakarta's main provider of international primary and secondary education. YPIY holds licences for early years, primary, junior high and senior high.
YIS is a fully authorised IB World School offering the Primary Years Programme, Middle Years Programme and Diploma Programme for children aged 3 to 18. English is the language of instruction, and the curriculum also includes French, Spanish and Indonesian. Indonesian language, religion and civics are taught in line with national regulations, and students in Grades 11 and 12 can follow either the IB Diploma or a YIS diploma pathway.
The school accepts students regardless of nationality, gender, race or faith, and its community represents more than 16 nationalities, with an active parents' association. The campus combines classrooms with sports fields and green spaces, and school life includes class excursions, relief projects and community activities.
