Yogyakarta's only A-accredited Indonesian language schoolWhy Puri Bahasa
A-Accredited
The only A-accredited Indonesian language school in Yogyakarta. Officially recognized by Indonesia's Ministry of Education. Certificates carry real weight - for visa applications, academic credit, and professional recognition.

A 15-minute walk east from Malioboro Street, the city's cultural heart. Walking distance to Kraton (Sultan's Palace), Beringharjo Market, Taman Sari Water Castle, and Fort Vredeburg.
Personalized Teaching
Our university-qualified teachers tailor every course to each student's level and goals - whether a beginner tourist, an intern preparing for work, a researcher with specialized vocabulary needs, or a diplomat.
Flexible & Welcoming
Short-term travelers and long-term students alike. Stay 3 weeks or 7 months. We also sponsor student visas.
