AIS Indonesia

Australian Independent School Indonesia (AIS Indonesia), formerly the Australian International School-Indonesia, offers an Australian Education in Indonesia. There is a Primary Campus (Preschool 3 to Year 6) in Kemang, Jakarta and a Secondary Campus (Year 7 to Year 12) in nearby Pejaten, Jakarta. Another campus is located on the Indonesian island of Bali (Preschool 3 to Year 12). The Bali Campus began operation in 1998 in Kerobokan and has, in 2018, moved to an amazing, newly built campus in the nearby Imam Bonjol area. The school offers the Australian Curriculum from Preschool to Year 10. It was granted "World School" status by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) and so offers the senior Diploma program in the Pejaten and Bali Secondary Campuses. In 2015, AIS Indonesia was fully accredited with the Council of International Schools (CIS).

The school changed its name from "Australian International School" to "Australian Independent School" in 2014, in compliance with the Indonesian government's regulations prohibiting the use of the word 'international' in school names.[1]

History

AIS Indonesia was founded in 1996 in response to a demand for inclusive education within the international schools in Indonesia. Prior to the formation of AIS, children with special educational needs were not accepted by any international school in Jakarta.

With the involvement and support of professional educators, diplomatic and commercial representatives as well as a group of parents, the school opened on 15 July 1996 with an enrolment of eleven students.

Today the school has more than 600 students from over 30 nationalities and offers Preschool to Year 12 classes with special education for students with learning support needs, limited English language proficiency or physical disabilities. The school has recently embarked on campus redevelopment projects on land opposite existing sites in Jakarta and in April 2018 moved into a fantastic newly built campus in Bali. Building projects underway and recently completed will significantly increase AIS Indonesia's enrolment capacity.
