Please find Term Dates below. Independent schools in the British tradition have long followed a three-term academic year - Michaelmas, Lent and Summer - each with its own rhythm and character. In keeping with this tradition, our school year is divided into three terms, referred to simply as Term 1, Term 2 and Term 3. Each term features a half-term break, offering pupils time to rest and families a natural pause in the school routine. The academic year concludes with a longer summer holiday, ensuring children return refreshed and ready for the new year ahead. This well-balanced rhythm of learning and rest underpins the enduring strength of the British independent school model and is one small element making ISJ the leading British international school in Jakarta.
