Jakarta Nanyang School
Jakarta Nanyang School follows the Cambridge pathway from Primary years through IGCSEs to A Levels, serving over 700 students with Cambridge International accreditation.
In brief
Jakarta Nanyang School is a Singapore-style school in BSD City, South Tangerang, founded in 2012 and now teaching around 700 pupils aged 3–18. The route is Cambridge throughout, from Cambridge Primary through IGCSE to A Level, with strong Mandarin alongside English. Parents say children with no Chinese background can reach functional Mandarin within around two years under the immersion model, and IGCSE Mandarin and HSK pathways are available for stronger students.
The school is registered with Indonesia's education ministry and is led by Linny Andreas. Its 2022–23 Cambridge Primary Checkpoint results came in significantly above the international average in English, maths and science.
Parents commonly describe clean, well-run facilities and a Singapore-influenced approach to discipline and standards. Teacher-side pay data places the school in Jakarta's mid-tier band, consistent with a well-resourced local-international school rather than a top-tier expatriate school. Annual fees run from IDR 93.5 million in kindergarten to IDR 299.2 million at A Level.
