For parents in East Jakarta and surrounding areas who are looking for an internationally oriented education alternative, Discovery Private is worth getting to know. Strategically located in Ciracas, Discovery Private operates as a private homeschooling provider and is officially a Pearson Edexcel Approved Centre, giving families access to a UK-based international curriculum directly from Jakarta.
What Is Pearson Edexcel and Why Does It Matter?
Pearson Edexcel is one of the United Kingdom's major international qualification providers and its qualifications are widely recognised by universities around the world. Edexcel qualifications—from International GCSE through International A Level—are commonly used as pathways to higher education in Europe, the United States, Australia, the Middle East, and other regions.
Not every education provider is authorised to administer Edexcel programmes and examinations. Institutions must go through Pearson's approval process before they may operate as an Approved Centre—and this is one of the points that distinguishes Discovery Private from many other homeschooling providers.
A Brief Profile of Discovery Private
Discovery Private International Homeschooling was established in 2018 and received approval as a Pearson Edexcel Centre in 2021 with Centre ID 94814. It is located at Jl. Tanah Merdeka VII No. 2B, Ciracas, East Jakarta, making it accessible for families in East Jakarta and nearby areas seeking Edexcel learning and examination services.
In addition to its status as a Pearson Edexcel Approved Centre, Discovery Private also operates legally through PKBM Sekolah Karakter Bangsa with NPSN P9996824, which is accredited by BAN PAUD and PNF with a B rating valid until December 2027. This combination provides a dual framework: international curriculum delivery alongside a non-formal education pathway recognised within Indonesia.
Curriculum Options
One of Discovery Private's key strengths is the flexibility of its levels and curriculum options, including:
- Pearson Edexcel curriculum, from Primary and Key Stage (KG) through A Level
- Indonesian national curriculum, for families who require alignment with the domestic education system
By combining these pathways, students can plan an academic route that fits their future goals, whether they intend to continue to universities in Indonesia or overseas.
International Partnership Network
Discovery Private has established 6 international Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with education partners, strengthening its role as a bridge between Indonesian students and global education opportunities. These partnerships also support students who are considering continuing their studies at partner institutions after completing A Level.
Since its establishment, Discovery Private has graduated dozens of alumni since 2020, with the community continuing to grow among families living in Jakarta as well as Indonesian diaspora families abroad who are seeking a UK-curriculum-based education option.

Several factors make Discovery Private relevant for families in East Jakarta:
- Official Pearson Edexcel Approved Centre status — not merely a tutoring provider, but an officially approved centre.
