Wellington College Independent School Jakarta Opens Its Doors

A proud new chapter in Wellington College Education has begun as Wellington College Independent School Jakarta welcomes its founding pupils and families for the first time.

Wellington College Independent School Jakarta officially opened its doors on 18 August 2026, marking a significant milestone for the school and its founding community.

The opening welcomed the first generation of pupils into a school shaped by the enduring strengths of British education: intellectual ambition, strength of character, curiosity and a commitment to educating the whole child. These traditions are thoughtfully brought to life within the context of Jakarta, creating a distinctive school community with an international outlook and a strong sense of place.

Following months of careful preparation, the school’s classrooms and learning resources are now in use, with teachers and staff bringing every aspect of the pupil experience to life. From teaching and pastoral care to daily routines and the wider life of the school, each element has been considered with purpose and care.

The founding teachers bring a wealth of experience and expertise, alongside a shared commitment to helping every pupil flourish. They will encourage pupils to think independently, pursue excellence and approach new opportunities with confidence, integrity and kindness.

The opening represents more than the beginning of a new academic year. It marks the establishment of a new member of the Wellington Global Family and the beginning of traditions that will be carried forward for generations.

Wellington College Independent School Jakarta extends its sincere appreciation to its founding families for their trust, and to its colleagues, partners and wider community for their dedication and support throughout the journey towards opening.

On 18 August 2026, the founding pupils of Wellington College Independent School Jakarta took their place in the school’s history.

The doors are now open, and an exciting new chapter has begun.
