A Message from the Principal

It is my privilege to welcome you to Yogyakarta Independent School (YIS), a warm and dynamic community where every student is known, supported, and encouraged to discover their best self. At YIS, learning is not just about academic achievement; it is about curiosity, kindness, and the confidence to make a positive difference in the world.

As an IB World School, we are committed to developing inquiring, knowledgeable, and caring young people. We do this through a balance of academic rigour, creativity, personal growth, and an appreciation for different perspectives. Our students learn to think critically, act with integrity, and value the diversity of the world around them.

Our success is built on the dedication of our people. We are fortunate to have a team of highly qualified and passionate teachers who inspire learning every day, supported by our committed office staff, housekeeping team, groundskeepers, and security personnel. Together, they ensure that YIS is not only a place of academic excellence, but also a safe, well-cared-for, and happy environment where everyone can thrive.

I am passionate about creating an environment where learning feels engaging, challenging, and joyful. Whether in the classroom, on the sports field, in the arts, or out in our beautiful gardens, every experience is an opportunity to grow. At YIS, we encourage students to aim high, embrace challenges, and support one another in achieving their goals.

Yogyakarta is a special place, and YIS reflects that by blending our international outlook with the warmth and spirit of our local community. I look forward to meeting you, showing you our school in action, and welcoming you into the YIS family.
