The British School Jakarta (BSJ) is an independent school in South Tangerang city, Indonesia. The city is in Banten province, although it is still part of the Greater Jakarta, Indonesia. The British School Jakarta is an international member of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference. It was established in Jakarta in 1973 under the auspices of the British Embassy. The main campus was relocated to Bintaro in 1994 to accommodate increasing numbers of students. The school offers classes for students from pre-school to Year 13 based on an inquiry-based, active, engaging, and dynamic curriculum. Kindergarten follows the UK Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), and Years 1-6 are based on the English National Curriculum (ENC) and an inquiry-based exploratory framework which covers foundation subjects. In Years 7-11, BSJ offers the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (IB MYP), while Years 12 and 13 have access to the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme(IB DP).
The school changed its name from British International School to British School Jakarta in 2014 to correspond to the Indonesian government's regulations on prohibiting the use of the word "international" in school names.
