Fees

Annual tuition at Ichthus School ranges from IDR 80,000,000 for 2026/27.

Application / Registration Fees
- No fixed public amount for an application or registration fee is published for the 2026/27 academic year. Where an application or registration fee is charged, the school typically requests payment at the time of application or acceptance; specific amounts are provided directly by the admissions office on offer.

Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)
- A complete, itemised fee schedule for 2026/27 is not published publicly. Available market information and recent parental/third‑party reports indicate the school's annual tuition for day students typically falls in a broad range rather than a single fixed figure:
- Indicative annual range (all year groups combined): approximately IDR 80,000,000 to IDR 180,000,000 per year, depending on year group and campus. This range is an observed market range reported for Ichthus School in recent school‑listing guides.
- Typical billing pattern: tuition is charged by term or by academic installment; a termly invoice is commonly issued and each term payment represents roughly one third of the annual tuition where a three‑term academic calendar is used. Exact per‑year and per‑term amounts by specific year group (e.g., Primary Years, Lower Secondary, Upper Secondary) are issued by the admissions/finance office at the time of offer.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- The school operates on a multi‑term academic calendar; parental communications show termly invoicing with specific due dates for each term. Sample parent/payment communications show term invoice deadlines (for example, a Term IV invoice with a due date in March). In practice, parents receive term invoices that must be paid by the date specified on the invoice.
- Payment is expected according to the invoice (termly or according to any agreed instalment plan); late payments are managed through the school's finance office and follow the school's internal policies on reminders and collection.

Boarding fees
- Ichthus School operates as a day school at its South and West campuses and does not list boarding provision or boarding fees in public materials. Therefore no boarding fees are charged because boarding is not offered.

Other costs and additional fees
- Additional costs commonly payable in addition to tuition include (but are not limited to): school uniforms, textbooks and learning materials, school trips and residential retreats, examination fees (where applicable), extracurricular activity fees, and incidental charges. These items are typically invoiced separately or noted as exclusions from the tuition invoice. Exact charges for uniforms and extras are set by the school and supplied on parental invoices or fee schedules.

Refund information
- A detailed refund policy for tuition, deposits, or ancillary fees for the 2026/27 academic year is not published in the public domain. Refunds, where applicable, are handled according to the school's internal finance and admissions policies and are confirmed to parents in offer/acceptance documentation.

Fee payment options
- Bank transfer is an established payment method: recent parent payment communications show transfers to a BCA account / virtual account or to the school foundation account as the primary channel for fee payment. A virtual account number and the foundation bank account have been used in school payment notices.
- Other payment methods (credit card, online gateway, or cash) are not published publicly as standard options; parents are provided with the accepted payment methods and instructions on the invoice or in communications from the school's finance office.

Summary and practical notes for parents
- A full, itemised public fee schedule for 2026/27 is not available; published public references and parent communications indicate Ichthus School's annual tuition is typically within a broad range (approximately IDR 80,000,000–180,000,000) and that billing is termly with bank transfer (BCA/virtual account) commonly used for payments. Specific application fees, exact per‑year/per‑term tuition by grade, any development/capital levies, and the school's formal refund rules are provided to parents in admissions and fee documentation at the point of offer.
