ACS Jakarta belongs to the Anglo-Chinese Schools family that originated in Singapore, and brings that structured, values-based model to Greater Jakarta. Its main East campus sits on Jl. Bantar Jati in Setu, East Jakarta, roughly 15 km south-east of the city centre and within reach of the Cibubur, Bekasi and Jakarta Timur residential areas; the school also operates a West campus in BSD City with its own admissions team.

The academic route runs from primary through Cambridge Lower Secondary and Checkpoint at Grade 6, Cambridge IGCSE in Grades 9 and 10, and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme in Grades 11 and 12. ACS Jakarta is an authorised IB World School and a registered Cambridge International Centre, licensed by the Indonesian Ministry of Education as a Satuan Pendidikan Kerjasama (SPK) school, and additionally accredited by ASIC.

For expat parents, ACS Jakarta is one of the more accessible fee points among fully international schools in the capital. Admissions enquiries are handled by separate primary and secondary teams, and prospective families can book a campus tour or take the school's online virtual tour before visiting.
