About international schools in Bandung, Indonesia

Secondary international schools in Bandung typically offer a mix of recognised international programmes (International Baccalaureate, Cambridge IGCSE and A-Levels, and Singapore-style pathways) alongside schools that combine the national Merdeka curriculum with international syllabuses; the city’s provision ranges from small, community-style international schools to larger group campuses. Instruction is predominantly in English, with Bahasa Indonesia taught as a compulsory subject and Mandarin commonly offered as an additional language in many schools. Annual tuition varies widely by school and year group - families can expect fees that start in the tens of millions of rupiah per year at smaller international streams and rise to the low hundreds of millions for full secondary places at IB or full-service international campuses, with additional compulsory levies, technology charges and one-off enrolment costs typical. Admissions are usually document-led and calendared: an online enquiry or registration, school records and transcripts, an assessment or placement test, and an interview are common steps, so families should start enquiries well before their intended term. Practical considerations for relocating families include checking language-support and English-as-an-additional-language provision, transport or school-bus availability, and the full list of extra costs (uniforms, exams, excursions and deposits) before committing to a place.

FAQs for Indonesia

What curriculum options will my secondary-age child find in Bandung’s international schools?
You will commonly find the International Baccalaureate (PYP/MYP/DP), Cambridge pathways (Checkpoint, IGCSE and A-Levels), and schools using the Singapore curriculum or a blended model that integrates the Indonesian Merdeka curriculum with Cambridge or other international frameworks. Different schools offer different upper-secondary routes (IB Diploma, Cambridge A-Levels, or national qualifications), so check which end qualification each school prepares students for.
How much should we budget for secondary school tuition and extra costs?
Tuition in Bandung’s international sector varies considerably by school and by year group; smaller international streams can start in the lower tens of millions of rupiah per year while full secondary places at established IB or international campuses commonly reach into the low hundreds of millions of rupiah annually. On top of published tuition expect one-off entry or development levies, technology fees, uniforms, exam fees and optional extras such as transport and extracurricular activities, so ask schools for a full fees schedule before applying.
When should we begin the admissions process if we are relocating to Bandung?
Start enquiries as early as possible - many international schools operate rolling admissions but popular year groups and higher grades can fill quickly, so contact schools at least one to two school terms before your intended start date. The usual process is an online inquiry and document submission, followed by a placement test or assessment and an interview; international families can often arrange remote interviews or assessments in advance.
What ages and stages are covered by Bandung’s international secondary schools?
Secondary provision commonly begins at lower-secondary (around age 11 - 13) and continues through to upper-secondary (age 17 - 18) where schools prepare students for IGCSE, IB Diploma or A-Level examinations. Some schools in Bandung are full-continuum providers running from early years through to senior secondary, which can be convenient for families seeking continuity across stages.
Is English the main language of instruction and what language support is available?
Yes - English is the primary medium of instruction at most international schools in Bandung, while Bahasa Indonesia is typically taught as a required subject and Mandarin is frequently offered as an additional language. Many schools provide English-as-an-Additional-Language (EAL) support or multi-lingual learning support for newcomers, so confirm the level of language support and any entry-level testing during admissions.
What should we look for on a school visit to decide if a secondary school is right for our child?
On a visit, observe how teachers and students interact in classrooms, ask about the school’s approach to assessment and university guidance, check the range and rigour of subject options at upper-secondary, and review pastoral and learning-support arrangements. Also request a detailed, itemised fees schedule and sample reports or curriculum maps for your child’s year group so you can compare academic expectations and total costs across schools.
