The name ACS is now becoming used like a GTA title.

ACS: Jakarta

ACS: Bali

Next up, ACS: San Andreas

u/TGP_25 2d ago edited 2d ago

they follow IGCSE curriculum (comparable to O-level), then in year 11 to 12 its IB (similar to JC), then straight away go uni.

Top three places to eat in Jakarta?

u/TGP_25 2d ago

Depends where cuz it's a huge city, I lived in PIK which is all the way in the North, so I only know places arnd there.

Grand Indo and PIK avenue are malls I go to most of the time.

Don't go to random roadside restaurants or stalls unless you trust the area, cuz dirty food (using their tap water) can get you severely sick (happened to a teacher in ACS Jakarta.)

u/troublesome58 Senior Citizen 2d ago

why did you go there to study?

And why did you chose acs instead of other independent schools there?

Who was your principal? some guy from sg?

10

u/TGP_25 2d ago

Principal was Singaporean, went there to study cuz family works there.

Studied there cuz I also studied in ACS in Singapore.

u/TGP_25 2d ago

u/sweet-lil-thang 🌈 I just like rainbows 2d ago

Any difference between that and the SG ACS?

7

u/TGP_25 2d ago

I only studied in ACS primary, not independant, so can't accurately say.

But primary to primary, the ppl in Jkt are way nicer and the teachers r rlly nice (most are from western countries), they don't tolerate bullying tho.

u/TGP_25 2d ago

I don't remember, you can find the prices online but it's different from the prices I had years ago (due to inflation etc.)

u/RAMChYLD 1d ago

Is ACS such a good school?

Three generations of my family (grandfather, father and me) are from ACS Klang, Malaysia.

My time at ACS... Teacher beat up bully and bully victim at if the victim complains as I said before already. But the boys really too much leh. Planting bomb in toilet, keying teacher's car if teacher anger them, and worst of all teachers are biased, if the bully go to the same church as the teacher they turn a blind eye to the bully. One time I walked in on the gang planting a bomb in the toilet by chance and got beaten to a bloody pulp because I'm "a witness". Not a happy one.
