About international schools in Bandung, Indonesia

International schools in Bandung typically offer a mix of International Baccalaureate, Cambridge (IGCSE/A-levels or Cambridge Primary), Singaporean and ‘national plus’ bilingual programmes, so families can usually choose between an IB continuum, British-style Cambridge pathways or locally adapted English-medium options. English is the primary language of instruction at most of these schools, while Bahasa Indonesia is normally taught as a compulsory subject and Mandarin is commonly offered as an additional language. Annual fees vary widely by school and by age: published schedules for some Bandung schools show early-years fees from around IDR 40 - 70 million and upper-school tuition that can reach into the IDR 200 - 300+ million band, so expect to check each school’s current fee table and extra charges. Admissions usually follow the school year with a main intake before the August/September term and occasional mid-year places; applications commonly require previous school reports, an English proficiency check and, for expatriate children, valid residency documentation such as a KITAS.

FAQs for Indonesia

What curricula will my child find in Bandung and how do they differ?
Bandung schools commonly offer the IB (PYP/MYP/DP), Cambridge programmes (Primary, IGCSE, AS/A Levels), Singapore curriculum elements and ‘national plus’ schools that blend the Indonesian national curriculum with international syllabuses. The IB emphasises inquiry, global mindedness and a continuum from early years to diploma, while Cambridge provides stage-based subject examinations and internationally recognised IGCSE/A-level certificates; national plus schools often keep a stronger link to Indonesian national requirements while teaching largely in English.
How much should we budget for international school fees in Bandung?
Fees vary by school, year group and whether the offering is an IB continuum or a Cambridge/national plus model; published examples in Bandung show early-years tuition from roughly IDR 40 - 70 million per year and upper-secondary costs that can approach or exceed IDR 200 - 300 million annually once capital levies and additional charges are included. Always check the school’s current fee schedule for items such as technology levies, activity charges and sibling discounts, since headline tuition is often only part of the total cost.
When should we apply and how competitive are places?
Many international schools open applications for the next school year several months in advance, with the main intake aligned to the August/September term and some mid-year entry points; admission timetables and priority rules are set by each school and are published by their admissions offices. Schools frequently require a completed application form, recent school reports and assessment or interviews; busy entry years and popular year groups can result in waitlists, so apply as early as possible and confirm the school’s specific timeline.
What language support is available if my child is not fluent in English?
Most international schools in Bandung assess English on entry and provide English language development (ELD) or similar support programmes to help non-native speakers access the mainstream curriculum, while Bahasa Indonesia is usually taught to all students. Check whether a school uses formal placement tools (for example WIDA or internal diagnostic tests), the size and qualifications of its language-support team, and how withdrawal or in-class support is scheduled so you know how progress is monitored.
What documentation do expatriate families usually need for admission?
In addition to the standard application materials and school records, expatriate families are typically asked to show passports, proof of residency or a valid work/limited stay permit (KITAS) for the child and often for a parent, plus immunisation records and previous school reports. Schools publish their list of required documents and any translation/notarisation rules, so contact admissions early to confirm what the school needs and whether your paperwork must be legalised locally.
