IB Curriculum International Schools in Surabaya, Indonesia

Surabaya hosts a small but active group of schools that offer one or more International Baccalaureate programmes, from the inquiry-led Primary Years and Middle Years Programmes through to the Diploma Programme for upper secondary students. Instruction at IB international schools in the city is predominantly English, with Bahasa Indonesia taught as a required or additional language and other options such as Mandarin offered at some campuses. Admissions are typically centred on the start of the school’s academic year but many schools accept applications year-round and use assessments, places pools or waiting lists when demand is high. Tuition is usually quoted in Indonesian rupiah and varies widely between national-plus providers and full international IB continuum schools, so families should budget for annual fees that run from modest amounts above local school rates up to substantially higher sums at full international campuses, plus entry, development and activity charges that are commonly billed separately.
