JAKARTA, JAKARTA, INDONESIA, May 27, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Independent School of Jakarta (ISJ) has been ranked the #1 British curriculum school in Jakarta and #22 across Asia in the 2026 British Schools Asia rankings, an independent index of British international schools across the region.— Eileen Fisher
The rankings score every British curriculum school in Asia using a composite of tuition fees and independent reputation signals. ISJ is the highest-ranked British school in Jakarta. The Jakarta city ranking is published at https://britishschoolsasia.com/cities/jakarta/ and the full Asia index at https://britishschoolsasia.com/rankings/.
A leading British education in Southeast Asia
ISJ delivers the English National Curriculum from Pre-Nursery through to A-Levels, taught by 100% UK-qualified teachers recruited from leading British independent schools. The school operates a staff-to-pupil ratio of 1:9 and serves families representing more than 30 nationalities from its campus in Pondok Indah, South Jakarta.
ISJ is part of The Schools Trust, a UK charity whose leadership team has built and led British international schools whose pupils have ranked first and second globally for A-Level and GCSE results across a network of more than 220 British international schools. The Trust's UK estate at Woolverstone Hall, an 87-acre property in Suffolk, England, hosts ISJ pupils each year for a residential immersion in British boarding school life.
"Being ranked the #1 British school in Jakarta and #22 in Asia is independent confirmation of what we set out to build," said Eileen Fisher, Head of ISJ. "Our pupils are taught by UK-qualified teachers, on the English National Curriculum, to the standards of a UK independent school. This ranking reflects the work of our staff and the families who chose us."
A full British pathway from age 2 to 18
ISJ provides a full British education pathway from age 2 through to A-Levels. The school's age range grows each academic year, with pupils progressing through Pre-Prep, Prep, and Senior School entirely within ISJ. Pupils joining Year 7 today will progress through GCSEs and A-Levels at the school.
A purpose-built Senior Campus opens in 2028 in Pondok Indah, located 300 metres from the existing junior campus. The new campus will feature science laboratories, art studios, a theatre, and a full-size football pitch, providing dedicated facilities for GCSE and A-Level study.
The current ISJ campus in Pondok Indah includes a 25-metre swimming pool, a full-size football pitch, a theatre, dedicated creative arts spaces, and a science laboratory. Annual tuition starts from USD 9,135.
"ISJ is delivering a genuine British education to families in Jakarta," said Darren Brown, Founder of The Schools Trust. "Being independently ranked #1 in Jakarta confirms what families at ISJ already know — this is a school built to the highest international standards."
