- New-student application / registration and testing fee: commonly listed as IDR 600,000–IDR 800,000 depending on campus/entry wave.

Development / Enrollment (one‑off) Fees

A separate figure of IDR 98,000,000 is reported as a development fee in recent 2026/27 listings for some intakes. These amounts are paid once at enrolment.

Tuition fees (examples by campus and billing frequency)

- MIS Jakarta (Cipete) — reported billing options and examples:

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Reported billing formats in public listings include: monthly SPP, semester payments, and annual payments. Examples show discounts or different price points for semester/annual prepayment or for early enrolment waves. Payment of one‑off development/enrolment fees is due at acceptance/enrolment. Specific due dates, late‑payment penalties, and formal payment terms are published to families at enrolment rather than in the general public summaries.

Refund information

- No publicly consolidated, campus‑level refund policy for development fees, registration fees or tuition refunds is published in the public fee summaries available in listings reviewed. Refund terms for one‑off development/enrolment fees and registration fees are generally defined in each campus's enrolment terms and are not consistently reproduced in public fee summaries.

Fee payment options

- Public fee summaries reviewed list billing amounts and billing frequencies but do not consistently publish a definitive list of accepted payment methods for all campuses. Standard methods used by Indonesian international schools are bank transfer and corporate / school payment portals; some schools offer installment/term payment options and wave discounts for early payment. Specific available payment channels (e.g., which banks, online portals, or card acceptance) and any card processing surcharges for Mentari campuses are provided to families at enrolment rather than in the general public fee summaries.

Summary of evidence & noted limitations

- Recent public listings (2024–2026) show consistent charge types: a small application/registration fee, a one‑off development/enrolment fee by grade, recurring tuition (monthly/semester/annual), and add‑on costs for books, uniforms, activities and insurance. Fee levels vary by campus and by entry year; the most recent campus‑specific figures publicly reported for the 2026/27 intake include development fees around IDR 98,000,000 (example listing) and recurring tuition in reported examples ranging from about IDR 4,900,000 per month (Bintaro examples) to IDR 9,850,000 per month (Jakarta/Cipete examples).

- Specific, complete campus-by-grade fee tables (per term and per year group, with exact billing dates, formal refund clauses and an explicit list of accepted payment channels) were not published in a single public fee document in the materials reviewed. The school publishes campus and programme information publicly; full, formal fee schedules and precise payment‑term language are provided directly to families at the point of enquiry/enrolment.
