Student Support Services
At Jakarta Intercultural School, inclusion is a commitment to welcome, embrace, value, and educate a diverse range of learners.
We believe diversity enriches our community and creates a learning environment that reflects the natural complexity of our world. Inclusion fosters opportunities for all members of our community to grow and thrive. As a community, we develop empathy, compassion, and an evolving perspective as we learn alongside others with different backgrounds and abilities.
JIS can offer places at each grade level to a managed number of students who require support services. Areas of support include: English as an Additional Language (EAL), speech and language services (Elementary and Middle School only), occupational therapy (Elementary School only), academic learning support, classroom guidance, and individual counseling.
The admission of any student with identified needs (language or learning) is determined on a case-by-case basis using multiple sources of information, such as school records, evaluations, Individual Learning Plans, and in some cases, an interview. Admission is contingent on a match between the student's needs and the school’s ability to provide the required support.
Please reach out to the admissions team if you have any questions about the application process or to schedule a visit.
