Education in Nusantara — Expanded

1. Schools and international options

In line with Nusantara’s vision as a globally connected capital, several international and modern schools are being developed within the city’s core education zone:

• Australian Independent School Nusantara (AIS Nusantara) – A large international school campus currently under construction in the Government Core Area (KIPP). Designed to serve students from preschool through senior high school (SMA) with classroom facilities, sports areas, and modern learning spaces, this school follows an international curriculum and aims to support expatriate and globally oriented families. (Peta Nusantara)
• Nusantara Intercultural School (NIS) – Managed by the Jakarta Intercultural School Foundation (with over 70 years’ experience in international education), NIS is another international school being built in the IKN area. It is intended to offer an internationally recognised education for children of government employees, expatriates, and internationally minded Indonesian families. (Peta Nusantara)
• Al-Azhar Summarecon Nusantara Islamic School – A private school project integrating modern learning facilities with Islamic values and community life, planned to offer Elementary (SD) to Senior High (SMA) levels in a culturally grounded setting. (Peta Nusantara)

In addition to these planned schools, the People’s School programme (Sekolah Rakyat) is operational in several elementary schools near IKN, supported by the Nusantara Capital Authority to improve local education quality and ensure foundational schooling is available in surrounding communities.

2. Higher education

While most university-level facilities in Nusantara are in early planning or partnership stages, key developments point to a growing higher-education ecosystem:

• International Doctoral Campus of Universitas Gunadarma – A PhD campus established within Nusantara’s education zone, focusing on advanced research and global academic collaboration with partner universities from Europe. (Peta Nusantara)
• Collaborations with Indonesian universities – The Nusantara Capital Authority has signed memoranda of understanding with multiple Indonesian universities to collaborate on research, technology, and academic programmes that support Nusantara’s development and community needs. (IKN)
• Future campus investments – Plans and preparatory investments from universities such as Universitas Negeri Surabaya (Unesa) are underway to build higher-education campuses in the IKN future education zone, broadening options for vocational and degree studies locally. (Titiknol.id)

Over time, these initiatives aim to create a connected higher-education network where students can pursue bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral studies close to the capital’s civic centre.

3. For Malaysian families

For Malaysian families considering schooling in Nusantara, there are several noteworthy points:

• Language and curriculum compatibility: International schools like AIS and NIS are designed with global curricula and English-friendly environments, which may ease adjustment for Malaysian children familiar with English-medium instruction. (Peta Nusantara)
• Public and community schooling: Around the IKN area, People’s Schools (Sekolah Rakyat) and other government-mentored schools provide basic education in Indonesian, where programmes are expanding to strengthen quality before more families settle in the city. (Antara News)
• Integrated education hub: The Nusantara Capital Authority is actively building a comprehensive education zone that covers kindergarten through senior high school and prepares for future university offerings, helping families plan long-term education pathways without frequent relocation for schooling.
