Economic and Social Studies Teacher

ROLE SUMMARY:

ACG School Jakarta is a private, independent, co-educational Kindergarten to Year 13 day school located in South Jakarta, Indonesia. As a member of the Inspired Education Group—operating 125 premium schools worldwide—and accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS), we deliver a rigorous and holistic international education. The School is governed by a Yayasan (foundation) and registered with the Ministry of Education and Culture of Indonesia.

Founded in 2004, ACG School Jakarta has grown from a small primary school into a comprehensive international school offering both the Cambridge curriculum (Lower Secondary and IGCSE) and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP). Our non-selective admissions policy enables us to welcome students from Indonesia and around the world, with over 36 nationalities represented across the school. English is the language of instruction.

Our modern campus provides a safe and stimulating environment for learning, supported by 30 classrooms, two science laboratories, a library, specialist spaces for music and art, and a Musholla (Prayer Room) that reflects our commitment to diversity and inclusion. With a strong focus on sustainability, entrepreneurship, and responsible global citizenship, ACG School Jakarta is a vibrant community where students inquire into the world around them and strive to make a positive difference both locally and globally.

We seek applications from teachers who are committed to delivering exceptional learning experiences and supporting students in developing the skills, values, and attributes aligned with both Cambridge and IB frameworks.
