Fee payment options and instalment tools - Payment frequency available: annual (one or two instalments) or quarterly (four instalments). Parents who wish to pay by instalment may use a credit card that offers an education payment plan; terms and availability depend on the card issuer. Notes and short clarifications (factual) - The published Surabaya fee schedule explicitly states there is no building or development fee and that tuition ranges vary by campus and grade level. Annual promotional prices are listed for some grades in the published schedule. (End of fee overview.)	Fee details Application fees - An initial application/registration invoice is issued during the admissions process and must be paid within three (3) days of receipt. A second admissions invoice (if generated after acceptance) must be paid within seven (7) days of receipt. Enrollment / one‑off admission / development fees - Sekolah Cikal assesses an enrollment/enrollment‑related fee that is tied to the student's chosen program/credits; this fee is a one‑off charge connected to enrollment and program choices (sometimes described as an enrollment or development fee). Specific amounts are not published on the campus information pages. Tuition (SPP) and term/year breakdowns - The school does not publish a public, campus‑specific per‑year or per‑term tuition table on its public Surabaya campus pages. Tuition amounts for Reception, Primary (Year 1–6), Middle (Year 7–9) and High School (Year 10–12) are handled by the admissions office and provided to families by invoice during the application/offer stage. No fixed per‑term or per‑year numeric schedule for the 2026/27 (or 2025/26) academic year is available in the public campus materials. Billing schedule and payment terms - Admissions invoices: first admissions invoice payable within 3 days; subsequent admissions invoice (post‑acceptance) payable within 7 days. Families receive formal invoices for tuition/other fees and are expected to pay according to the invoice deadlines. - Installment (angsuran) arrangements are available in certain circumstances; parents must contact Admissions to arrange and to confirm terms and eligibility for installment plans. Boarding / residential provision - Sekolah Cikal Surabaya is a day school and the Surabaya campus facilities listing and campus information do not include boarding or dormitory provision; boarding fees do not apply for this campus. Other regular costs parents should anticipate - Uniforms and school clothing: families are required to provide school uniform(s); the school lists uniforms as part of standard ancillary costs but specific uniform prices are not published publicly. - Transport (school bus/antar‑jemput): a paid school transport service is offered from selected routes and is billed separately from tuition; exact route availability and pricing are arranged through the campus/admissions team. - Meals, learning materials, technology, extracurricular activities, camps/overnights, and optional program credits: these items are commonly billed separately or as add‑ons depending on program choices and participation; amounts and billing frequency vary by program and year level. - Event and short‑program fees (holiday/club classes): event/program pages demonstrate specific ticketed prices for short courses and include explicit refund rules for those events. Example: ticketed event/program fees and refund rules are published on event pages. Refunds and cancellations - For short courses and ticketed events the school's published terms show: 100% refund if the school cancels; partial refunds (for example 50%) for cancellations by participants made before a specified cutoff (commonly H‑3); and no refund after the cutoff for some events. There is no publicly posted, campus‑level numeric policy for tuition refunds or withdrawal refunds on the Surabaya campus pages. Fee payment options - The admissions/FAQ materials indicate that the school issues formal invoices and that payment options and installment arrangements are available but require coordination with Admissions. The public campus pages and admissions overview do not list a detailed menu of payment instruments (for example: specified bank account numbers, card payments, or online gateway providers) in the campus information materials. Families are instructed to work with Admissions/Support to confirm available payment methods and terms. Promotions, discounts and variable pricing - The school runs campus open houses and promotional events where temporary registration discounts have been offered (for example an Open House discount was publicized for Surabaya attendees). These promotions show that registration or admission amounts can vary by campaign and by event. Summary of limitations in available public data - The Surabaya campus pages and central admissions materials describe fee components (application/registration invoices, an enrollment/development fee, tuition (SPP), transport, uniforms, extras, and availability of installment plans) and set out invoice deadlines and event refund rules, but they do not publish a campus‑level numeric fee schedule (per term or per year group) for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic year on the public site. Families receive precise amounts and formal invoices during the admissions/offer process. Parents should obtain the formal invoice and fee schedule directly from Admissions to get the exact per‑year and per‑term tuition figures for the chosen year level and campus.
