We are recruiting for a highly regarded international school in Indonesia, set on an impressive 44-acre campus in the vibrant city of Jakarta. The school is a warm, inclusive community representing more than 50 nationalities and providing education for students aged 2 to 18.

Located in South West Jakarta, the campus offers exceptional facilities that support creativity, innovation, and wellbeing, including purpose-built learning spaces, specialist art studios, and extensive sports and outdoor areas.

A strong emphasis is placed on connected learning across phases, ensuring coherence and continuity throughout the 2–18 pathway.

The Role

The school is seeking a qualified and passionate Primary Art & Design Teacher to join its Primary faculty from January 2026.
