About this school
Khalifa IMS (originally Indonesia Mandiri School) is an Islamic school group whose central campus is in Bintaro, Pondok Aren, South Tangerang. Its founder, a former English-course teacher, wanted to combine an international curriculum with Islamic character education; the first kindergarten opened in a rented shop-house in July 2008 with nine nursery pupils.
The Bintaro centre now covers kindergarten, primary, junior secondary and senior secondary (SMA Khalifa IMS, launched in 2021), with further branches in Tegal (from 2014) and Semarang (from 2020). The school describes itself as a Cambridge centre offering a continuous pathway from nursery to upper secondary alongside the Indonesian national subjects.
- Values summarised as KIMS: Knowledgeable, Interdependent, Muttaqiin and Smart
- English used as the everyday language of learning, with Qur'an and ibadah programmes
- Senior students follow a Life Readiness Project and university preparation for study in Indonesia and abroad
The school reports serving thousands of families across its Bintaro centre and branches.
