ACS Jakarta New West Campus in BSD City: A Beacon of Light for Future Generations

ACS Jakarta is thrilled to announce the opening of its new school campus in BSD City, set to welcome students in July 2026. This expansion marks a significant milestone in ACS Jakarta's commitment to providing world-class education and fostering a nurturing learning environment for students.

A groundbreaking ceremony for the second campus occurred on 29 November 2025 in BSD City. The ceremony was officiated by the Chairman of the ACS Jakarta Board of Management, Dr. Mucki Tan, alongside other board members. Situated on nearly 5 hectares of land, the new campus is scheduled to open in July 2026 to provide holistic education in Indonesia. Inspired by Matthew 5:14–16, the West Campus intends to be a "beacon of light and excellence," nurturing both the intellectual and emotional development of its students to become responsible global citizens.

Dr. Lee Khen Seng, Executive Principal of ACS Jakarta, emphasized the school's commitment to holistic development, encompassing academics, sports, performing arts, music, visual arts, community service, and extracurricular activities. The West Campus will feature world-class facilities to support this vision, including an Olympic-sized swimming pool, a FIFA-standard football field with a running track, a fully equipped gym with a rock climbing wall, multi-purpose sports halls, a professional-grade performing arts theatre, padel courts, dedicated art and music rooms, advanced science laboratories, and well-stocked libraries.

Established in Indonesia in 1996, ACS Jakarta is part of the long-standing Anglo-Chinese School system originating in Singapore, known for its academic excellence and holistic approach. The school offers a curriculum drawing from Singaporean, UK, and US best practices, including Cambridge Checkpoint, IGCSE, and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP). ACS Jakarta students have consistently achieved high academic standards, with recent alumni gaining admission to prestigious Ivy League and other top universities globally.

Beyond academics, ACS Jakarta emphasizes character development and values-based education through daily devotions, service learning, and a diverse Co-Curricular Activities (CCA) program. These offerings in sports, visual and performing arts, clubs, and leadership and service aim to nurture students in faith, integrity, leadership, and service. With over 1,000 students and 125 teachers from more than 15 nationalities, ACS Jakarta fosters a diverse and nurturing international community.

Located near ICE BSD City and developed in partnership with Sinar Mas Land, the West Campus is designed to support both academic and spiritual growth, aspiring to be a center for innovation and inspiration. ACS Jakarta reaffirms its mission to be a guiding influence, shaping young minds and hearts for a successful future, and invites the community to join them in this endeavor.
