Fees
Application fees
- No published, fixed application or enrolment fee amounts for standard full‑time students are available in the school's public materials. For short courses (Mandarin weekend/after‑school classes) specific course fees are published (examples below).

Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)
- No publicly posted, itemized tuition schedule for kindergarten, primary, middle or high school showing per‑term or per‑year tuition amounts is available in the school's public materials. The school's public downloads and notices do not list a comprehensive full‑time student tuition table for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years.
- Published example fees for specific short courses (Mandarin/after‑school) are shown as:
- IDR 3,350,000 for a kindergarten (large class) Mandarin course.
- IDR 3,450,000 for a kindergarten (small class) Mandarin course.
- IDR 3,050,000 for a parent/adult Mandarin class.
- IDR 3,050,000 for a children's weekend Mandarin class.
- IDR 2,850,000 for a university‑preparation tutoring class.
These amounts are course‑specific notices for short/extra classes and are not presented as the school's standard annual tuition schedule.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- For the published short‑course notices, payment is requested at registration and transfers are to be made to the school foundation account; registrants are instructed to include the student's name to assist reconciliation. Payments for those courses are stated as non‑refundable in the course notices.
- No publicly posted, detailed billing calendar (for example: termly payment dates, installment deadlines, penalty/late fee schedule) for full‑time student tuition is published in the school's public downloads or notices.

Boarding fees (if applicable)
- No student boarding program or boarding fees are published. The school's public campus information mentions teacher accommodation but does not list student boarding facilities or related fees. Therefore no boarding fees are indicated.

Other costs or fees (uniform, textbooks, meals, transport, activities)
- No consolidated list of uniform costs, textbook fees, meal plans, transport (bus) fees, or yearly ancillary charges for full‑time students is published in the school's publicly available documents. Some internal documents and calendars reference textbooks and course materials, but specific per‑item prices for standard tuition cohorts are not posted.
- For short/extra courses, course materials are commonly stated as included in the published course fee amounts.

Refund information
- For the published short/extra course notices, payments are stated to be non‑refundable when absence is for personal reasons. No separate, detailed refund policy for full‑time tuition (term withdrawals, mid‑year transfers, exceptional circumstances) is published in the publicly available notices and download documents.

Fee payment options
- Bank transfer to the school foundation account (YAYASAN JAKARTA TAIPEI SCHOOL) is an explicitly stated payment method; the published notices provide a CTBC Bank account number and ask payers to include the student's name for reconciliation. The notices list contact phone extensions for the school office for payment queries. No public listing of accepted credit cards or online payment portals for standard full‑time tuition is provided in the available materials.

Notes on availability
- The school's public materials include specific, itemized prices for certain short courses (Mandarin/extra classes) and explicit bank transfer instructions and a non‑refund clause for those courses. However, a comprehensive, itemized tuition schedule showing per‑term and per‑year charges for every school year group (kindergarten through high school), published application/enrolment fees for full‑time students, standard billing dates, uniforms/textbook price lists, boarding fees, and a full refund policy for full‑time tuition are not available in the school's publicly posted documents.

If you require these specific full‑time fee figures (application fee, per‑grade tuition per term/year, billing calendar, uniform/textbook prices, boarding fees), the school's admissions or finance office is the appropriate point of contact using the published school phone numbers and office extensions.
