Please find the Term Diary for South Jakarta’s leading British international school below. While the School Calendar provides an overview of key dates across the academic year, the diary offers a closer look at the rhythm of daily school life throughout the term. It reflects the breadth and balance of an ISJ education - assemblies, enrichment activities, special events, and community occasions that bring learning to life. Families are encouraged to refer to the diary regularly to stay informed about upcoming events and to share in the ongoing life of the school.
