Jogjakarta Community School (JCS) is a British independent school in Jogjakarta offering the UK Pearson Edexcel curriculum for ages 2 to 18. It operates as an English-medium school with official Pearson Edexcel Examination Centre status (Centre ID 97194), enabling learners to sit official assessments on campus. Founded in 2012 by Yayasan Suluh Semesta to serve Indonesian and expatriate families, JCS is governed by a parent and community-elected Board of Governors and supported by the YSS Trustees. In 2017 the school relocated to a purpose-built campus in northern Jogjakarta; in October 2024 the Multi-Purpose Space opened, and in January 2026 a new Learning Block will open alongside the original Learning Block. The Edexcel curriculum guides Early Years Foundation Stage through Key Stages 1–5, with a UK-style progression and Year Groups. Six Learner Traits—Independent, Resilient, Collaborative, Engaged, Reflective and Creative—shape teaching and learning, alongside a strong emphasis on pastoral care and personal development.
