Welcome to the JIS Libraries

The library is central to providing a stimulating learning environment that supports the Jakarta Intercultural School vision and aims to promote an information empowered and literature enriched school community of independent, lifelong learners.



The purpose of the library is to:

• support, enrich and implement the learning and teaching program of the school by collaborating with teachers to plan, produce and teach curriculum units which encourage students to develop their independent learning skills.

• nurture, inspire and stimulate the vital importance of reading for pleasure and information.

• manage an extensive and relevant collection of curriculum resources to support the learning, co-curricular and recreational needs of the school community.

• provide a welcoming, flexible learning environment for the school community in which students can learn individually, in small groups and as a whole class.
