Guiding Principles

We believe we show consideration for all members of our school community by dressing appropriately as a student and choosing dress that is respectful of our learning environment and our host country. 

Jakarta Intercultural School does not have a uniform, rather we allow students to choose their own dress, provided that such dress adheres to our expectations of appropriate attire for our school, it does not interfere with the health and safety of themselves or others, and does not interfere with the educational process of the school.

Basic Principles

• Students will wear clothing that is neat and appropriate in terms of safety, community, and context.

• Clothing must be functional in coverage when performing ordinary or dynamic activities such as sitting, reaching, running, bending and jumping. 

• No student should be affected by dress code enforcement because of racial identity, sex assigned at birth, sexual orientation, ethnicity, cultural or religious identity, household income, body size/type, or body maturity.
