Application and entrance fees
- Placement Test Fee: IDR 500,000 for Primary 1 through Secondary 4; IDR 1,000,000 for Junior College.
- Development Fee (enrolment/placement fee): a Development Fee is required upon notification of acceptance to secure the student's place; this fee is explicitly stated as non‑refundable. The exact Development Fee amount is not published in the school's publicly available admissions material.

Tuition fees (per year / per term)
- The school's publicly available admissions and FAQ materials do not publish a full, itemized tuition schedule by year group or term for the 2026/27 academic year (or for 2025/26). Because those numeric tuition amounts by grade and by term are not publicly posted, specific per‑term and per‑year figures cannot be provided here.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Acceptance and registration are confirmed only after required payments are received and payment confirmation is issued by the school's Finance Department; payment of the Development Fee is required to secure placement. The school's published materials reference payment confirmation from the Finance Department as part of the acceptance process.
- A 10% sibling discount applies to subsequent siblings enrolled.
- Employee benefits for staff include Development Fee and Tuition Fee discounts (detailed staff discount policy and percentage levels are published for employees).

Boarding fees
- No boarding or residential provision or boarding fees are listed in the school's campus materials; the school operates as multiple day campuses and does not advertise boarding options in its published campus information.

Other costs and typical extras
- The school's public admissions and FAQ pages confirm the existence of standard one‑off fees (placement/development) and recurring tuition charges but do not publish a detailed line‑item schedule for other costs such as uniforms, textbooks, exam fees (IGCSE / AS / A‑Level exam fees, if applicable), school trips, transport, or specific co‑curricular charges. These categories are commonly charged by schools, but specific amounts and which items are included in tuition are not published in the school's publicly available admissions material.

Refunds and cancellation
- The Development Fee is stated as non‑refundable. The school's publicly available admissions material does not publish a detailed refund policy for tuition, annual fees, or other charges; no additional published refund provisions were found in the publicly posted admissions/FAQ materials.

Fee payment options
- The school requires payment confirmation from its Finance Department to finalize acceptance; however, specific accepted payment methods (for example, bank transfer, local bank account details, or credit card acceptance) are not specified in the publicly available admissions and FAQ materials. Payment instructions and the finance office are referenced but detailed payment method options are not published in those materials.

Discounts and partnerships that affect fees
- The school provides a 10% sibling discount for each subsequent sibling enrolled.
- The school publishes staff fee benefits that include large discounts on Development Fee and Tuition Fee for eligible employees under the school's staff benefits policy.
- External membership/partner programmes (for example metropolitan member organisations) have advertised temporary discounts on Development Fee and Tuition Fee (examples of percentage discounts have been offered through partner membership channels), indicating third‑party promotional discounts may be available at times. Those partner promotions are separate from standard published fees.

Summary of limitations (brief)
- Publicly posted campus and admissions pages list the Placement Test Fee amounts, confirm that a non‑refundable Development Fee is required to secure a place, and describe discounts (sibling, staff, occasional partner promotions). The school's publicly available admissions and FAQ materials do not publish the numeric tuition schedule per grade or per term for AY 2026/27 (or AY 2025/26). Because a full, itemized tuition schedule by year group and by term is not publicly posted, per‑term and per‑grade tuition amounts, billing instalment dates, and specific payment method details cannot be provided here.

Curriculum

The Secondary Division follows the Cambridge Pathway, with Lower Secondary (Grade 7–8) as Cambridge Secondary 1.

The Cambridge Checkpoint curriculum is used for Secondary 1 and 2 (Grade 7–8) as beginning courses leading to Cambridge IGCSE. Cambridge IGCSEs are internationally recognized by schools, universities and employers as equivalent in standard to the British GCSE and International GCE O Level examinations. The curriculum encourages students to use an exploratory approach to problem solving, have confidence in their ability to solve problems, apply skills, knowledge and understanding, undertake individual projects and work as part of a team, and develop oral and practical skills. Cambridge Checkpoint provides diagnostic information to monitor readiness for IGCSE.
