In its seventh decade, JIS is known the world over as an accomplished school, one that has weathered many storms and emerged as a positive, multicultural, and innovative learning environment.

The school's hunger for continuous improvement reflects the optimistic and entrepreneurial nature of its Indonesian host nation. While Indonesia's young democracy is striving to establish itself on the global stage, JIS is a mature school that is hoping to maintain its vitality by asking fundamental questions about its mission and vision.

With knowledge expanding exponentially and technological access to that knowledge morphing daily, schools are reassessing their essential structures and roles. Recent brain research has converted some hunches into certainties, while throwing some challenging questions to educators the world over. In short, we are learning about how students learn best. Some forms of learning are almost universally effective, and some need to be tailored to individuals' unique styles. We must therefore convert our schools, perhaps fundamentally, to allow for new and appropriate methodologies of learning.
