Jakarta Montessori School provides a genuine Montessori experience for children aged 1 to 18 in Indonesia. The main teaching language is English, with Bahasa Indonesia taught to all students; in Pre-school this is informal, in Primary it follows the Indonesian curriculum, and in Upper Primary additional Indonesian lessons prepare students for optional national exams. Core subjects are taught with Montessori materials, building concrete understanding in mathematics, language, science, geography and research skills. Science is integrated across the curriculum, covering biology, geology, astronomy and archaeology, while students regularly use the library and Internet for projects. The campus is spacious and purpose-built, with dedicated facilities for Preschool, Toddlers, Lower Primary, Upper Primary and Secondary, plus a large farm area for hands-on learning. After-school enrichment, field trips and community projects supplement learning. Notable facilities include a science laboratory, art studio, library, computer lab and sports spaces such as a basketball court and futsal.
