JIS is fortunate to be a member of the Global Online Academy network. This gives us access to a wide range of outstanding online courses. Learning in an online environment is an important life skill for our students. The GOA experience connects you to a global network of people and resources: students and teachers come from over sixty of the best independent schools worldwide. 

GOA Administration

1. A passing grade in a GOA course will provide the student with an elective credit of 0.5, which will count towards the 24 credits required for graduation from JIS.

2. It is generally only possible to take one GOA course in any one semester. 

3. GOA courses can only be taken by Grade 11 and 12. The only possible exception to this are the GOA summer school courses (see below), which can be taken in the summer between G10 and G11.

4. Important note: There will be an additional course fee borne by the student’s family to have access to GOA courses, which will now include Indonesian taxes in addition to the course fees. Please ensure that your parents are aware of this.

5. GOA counts as a 5 Block class in student schedules
