About this school
Mahatma Gading Intercultural School (MGIS) in Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta, was founded in July 2004 by a group of educators and community members and is run by Yayasan Mahatma Gading. It educates children from preschool to senior high school, guided by the principles of Pancasila and by Gandhi's idea of ahimsa (non-violence), with the school developed as a peace zone that values social and emotional growth as well as academics.
- Preschool (Nursery, K1, K2): a thematic approach with storytelling, science, Montessori sessions, music and art
- Primary (Grades 1–6): Cambridge-based, preparing for Cambridge Checkpoint in Grade 6
- Junior and Senior High (Grades 7–12): Checkpoint in Grade 8, IGCSE in Grades 9–10 with science or business streams, then AS and A Levels in Grades 11–12
Indonesian national subjects (Bahasa Indonesia, civics, religion) run alongside the Cambridge programme so students can also sit the national exams, and Mandarin, arts, music and sports are taught at every level.
