The programme

What Do We Offer?

The Jakarta Future School online program is a carefully balanced mix of online and offline study, developed from years of experience delivering Cambridge courses to students across Indonesia. Our IGCSE, developed by Cambridge International Examinations (CIE), is an internationally recognized qualification adopted by a growing number of independent schools worldwide — one that opens the door to A Levels and other further education pathways.

JFS is run by energetic, enthusiastic Cambridge Certified Teachers. Students study independently with dedicated teacher support, and every weekly lesson is archived so nothing is ever missed. It's online, self-paced learning — aligned to a clear timeline for assessments and submissions.

How Do You Study?

Study balance

Independent study: 75%
Live teaching: 25%

A structured blend of guided independent learning and scheduled live sessions with Cambridge-certified teachers.

Students log on and join live virtual classes with our teachers on a regular basis. Every lesson is recorded, so nothing is lost if a live session is missed. Learning happens 75% online — through our customized MySecondTeacher (MST) and Microsoft Teams portals — and 25% face-to-face, with fun, interactive lessons, informative videos, and engaging simulations that track progress along the way. Face-to-face online lessons run weekly, Monday through Friday, for a total of 4 hours per subject each month.

Each course runs for two years, split into 8 terms of about 2.5 months (11 weeks) each — the same structure across Grades 5–6, Lower Secondary (Grades 7–8), IGCSE (Grades 9–10), and A Levels (Grades 11–12). The schedule stays flexible, whether your child is fast-tracking to meet a university deadline or taking it slow around family, work, or other commitments — learning from anywhere, on their own schedule, with help always within reach.

What Are the Outcomes?

What students carry forward when they complete a stage at JFS.

Outcome

Same Exams, Same Results

Studying online with JFS means sitting the exact same exams, at the exact same time, as every other high school student in Indonesia — earning the same results, transcript, and Primary Checkpoint / IGCSE / AS / A Level qualification as students at a regular international school.

Outcome

A Clear Path After IGCSE

Graduates can continue straight into our A Levels Online program, or the Pre-University Foundation Program at Raffles College — built to sharpen business fundamentals, confidence, and readiness for university life.
