It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
All students wear uniforms at all times. Regular classes use a blue shirt with the YIS logo and khaki shorts, long trousers, or knee-length skirts; PE uses a white shirt with the YIS logo and blue shorts. Uniforms and materials may be purchased at the YIS secretariat; a cap is worn for outdoor activities; closed shoes are required in the science lab.
Students may bring lunch from home or arrange lunch through YISPA at a modest cost, with supervision in the school canteen. Food deliveries, such as via Gojek, are not allowed; snacks are allowed but candies, chewing gum, and soda are not.
The school is governed by the Yogyakarta Foundation for International Education (YPIY), the umbrella for YIS. The Foundation has a Governing Board (Pembina) that appoints an Executive Board (Pengurus) and a Controlling Board (Pengawas); YIS is one of four schools under the Foundation.
Yogyakarta Independent School (YIS) is a private international school offering the complete International Baccalaureate continuum for ages 3 to 18, including the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP) and Diploma Programme (DP). The language of instruction is English, with French, Spanish and Indonesian integrated into the curriculum. Bahasa Indonesia/Indonesian Studies, Agama and Pancasila are taught for Indonesian students during regular school hours. YIS is the only international school in Yogyakarta authorized to deliver the full IB program. The school traces its origins to 1989 and is operated by the Yogyakarta Foundation for International Education (YPIY), a non-profit foundation. The 6.5-hectare campus in Sinduadi features botanical gardens, an Olympic-size outdoor sport field, an athletic running track, and modern classrooms, with safety-minded grounds and a guarded front gate. The YIS Parents Association (YISPA) coordinates excursions and events, while a Leadership Team and IB Coordinators guide curriculum development for students worldwide.
