Pertanyaan yang sering ditanyakan

We hope these answers to some FAQs will help as you consider supporting our fundraising and philanthropy programs. Please don't hesitate to contact our JIS Chief Advancement Officer, Emma Silva, with any further questions: advancement@jisedu.or.id

Why does JIS need to fundraise?

At JIS, our dedication to delivering outstanding international education for your children is unwavering. Upholding this commitment demands meticulous management of our school budget, which is geared toward fostering exceptional teaching and learning experiences.

While tuition and other fees are integral, our lofty educational aspirations necessitate supplementary funding to fully actualize them for our students. This entails a continual process of refining and enriching our programs to ensure they remain current and aligned with global best practices.

As a not-for-profit Indonesian Yayasan, JIS relies on donations from the entire community to make this happen. Your contributions are vital in ensuring that we preserve our longstanding tradition of educational excellence — for the current generation of JIS Dragons and many more to come.

What is the purpose of the Annual Community Campaign?

Our Annual Community Campaign empowers JIS to uphold our commitment to excellence and fulfill the dreams of our students! Your donation fuels our exceptional programs and enables exciting opportunities that benefit every member of our community.

This campaign highlights the collective impact we can achieve when we unite with our shared Dragon passion and pride. Each year, we will rally together to fundraise for goals determined by our community, ensuring that these funds are promptly put into action. Discover more about this year's objectives on our Annual Community Campaign website.

Why are there two goals for two different funds?

You choose how your donation is used!

We consulted with members of our community and listened to what inspires and ignites their passion for learning to be Best for the World. It is important for us to ensure that the community’s choices and voices are heard.

The Dragon Annual Fund fuels excellence by enriching and elevating our school's student-centered programs and world-class learning facilities. Your contributions will bolster initiatives selected collaboratively with our community, spanning Arts, Athletics & Activities, Innovation & Technology, and Experiential Learning.

Every single gift counts toward our collective success, and we're excited to see the power of our community coming together to support our shared goals. Let's make a difference, one gift at a time!
