North Jakarta Intercultural School

In Brief

North Jakarta Intercultural School is an IB school in Kelapa Gading serving 500+ students, having recently transitioned to International Baccalaureate programmes while experiencing growth. Teacher discussions reveal mixed experiences with recruitment processes and suggest the school may be building its reputation, though salary information remains limited with estimates in the high 30s to low 40s USD range.

NJIS operates from a campus in Kelapa Gading with standard international school facilities including science laboratories, libraries, sports facilities, and performing arts spaces. The school has made the transition to IB programmes across Primary Years, Middle Years, and Diploma levels, positioning itself within Jakarta's competitive international education market. Current leadership includes a Head of School who was described as approachable in teacher discussions, though this position was reported as transitioning in 2024.

Teacher recruitment experiences reveal some concerning patterns, with multiple candidates reporting being asked to complete extensive four-page application documents after initial interviews, then receiving no follow-up communication despite submitted materials and follow-up inquiries. This has created negative impressions among some international teaching candidates. However, teachers familiar with the school suggest it may offer decent working conditions for those who do join, with friends of current educators providing generally positive informal feedback about the school environment.
