Gandhi Memorial Intercontinental School (GMIS), formerly Gandhi Memorial International School, is a private international school with campuses in Jakarta, Bali, and Semarang, Indonesia. The primary campus, GMIS Jakarta, has more than 2,000 enrolled students from over 50 countries, largely Indonesian, Indian, Korean, and Chinese. It was established in 1950 alongside Gandhi School Ancol but relocated to Kemayoran, Central Jakarta in 2004.

Authorized in 1996, GMIS Jakarta was one of the first schools in Indonesia to gain the International Baccalaureate (IB) World School status.[3][4] For its students from nursery through grade 12, the school offers the IB Primary Years Programme, IB Middle Years Programme, Cambridge IGCSE, the IB Diploma Programme, and the IB Career-related Programme.[3] GMIS teaches IB and IGCSE curriculums as well as that of the Board of Secondary Education Indian Schools, Indonesia. It also teaches Pancasila as part of its mandatory syllabus for all students, and teaches Hindi, Indonesian, French, and Mandarin as its second languages.[5] As of the academic year 2023–2024, the annual fees can range from roughly Rp. 48,510,000 to 140,000,000.[6]

GMIS Bali is situated in Renon, Denpasar and was established in 2007. It has nearly 500 students from over 30 countries.[7] GMIS Semarang is the newest, having been established in 2015.[8] The teaching faculty at all 3 campuses is primarily Indian and Indonesian.[9]

The school changed its name to Gandhi Memorial Intercontinental School from Gandhi Memorial International School in 2015 to comply with the Indonesian government in their regulations prohibiting the use of the word "international" in school names.[10]
