Use the annual range above as the authoritative published band for budget planning.

Per‑term / per‑installment detail
- The school's published information gives annual figures and a published overall range but does not publish a public, detailed per‑grade, per‑term fee table for the 2026/27 academic year. No verified per‑term amounts by year group were found in publicly available material. Annual amounts are typically billed according to the billing schedule (see below).

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Billing: The school issues a billing statement upon acceptance and expects payment by the due dates listed on that billing statement. Payments must be made in the correct amount and before the due date so administration and materials can be prepared.
- Common payment arrangements reported for similar schools in Surabaya include annual, semi‑annual, and termly instalment options; no official public per‑grade instalment calendar or exact term‑due dates for 2026/27 was published.

Boarding fees
- Boarding is not applicable; the school is presented as a day international school and no boarding programme or boarding fees are published.

- The school publishes an annual fee band (IDR 38,000,000 to IDR 130,000,000) and what is included and excluded, and it lists accepted payment methods. A verified, grade‑by‑grade, per‑term fee schedule for the 2026/27 academic year was not publicly available in the materials reviewed; third‑party local media and school‑summary sites report typical registration and building fees and give broad annual ranges, but they do not provide an official, complete per‑grade, per‑term breakdown.
