Sekolah Tiara Bangsa was established in Cibubur in July 1996 by a group of parents with English as the language of instruction. It grew and in 2002 entered into a partnership with Anglo Chinese School in Singapore to strengthen its academic programmes. In July 2006, the school became ACS Jakarta, the first overseas campus of ACS, and moved to a custom-built campus in Cilangkap. Today ACS Jakarta is a selective K-12 school for academically promising students, preparing them for continued academic success and for their future. An ACS education stands for holistic education: the total development of a child to maximize their potential for the greater good and service to others.
ACS Jakarta has a House system to promote competition and teamwork; there are four houses—KHD, Kartini, Oldham and Thoburn. Ki Hajar Dewantara (KHD) and Kartini honor Indonesian figures, while Oldham and Thoburn honor leaders of ACS. The house system supports events and activities across the school year. The school also hosts regular events and Open House sessions, as listed on the News & Events page.
The school has a Parent Support Group (PSG) that includes mothers, fathers and grandparents; PSG volunteers plan and conduct activities and seminars for parents and students and raise support for the school. As long as you have a child in the school, you are basically a member of the PSG, and the group welcomes everyone to be a Parent Volunteer. Its motto is Blessed to Bless, and its mission is to work in harmony with fellow parents and the School to enrich and enhance our children's education and well being, to actively encourage parental involvement, and to support school projects and programmes that advance Academic Excellence, Character Development and Service to Others.
