Uniforms include a polo shirt with navy bottoms; younger students wear navy shorts, girls may wear a navy skirt, and older students may wear beige trousers or beige skirts. A PE uniform is required for physical education.

Outside deliveries are restricted, and meals from home may be brought to designated areas following campus guidelines.

Governance and Ownership

Fees

Annual tuition at Sampoerna Academy Jakarta ranges from up to IDR 187,000,000 for 2026/27.

Application / Registration fees

- A one-time registration (application/enrolment) fee is charged for new students. The registration fee is payable at enrolment and is treated separately from tuition.

Tuition fees by year group (annual and per-term)

- Annual tuition is charged by academic year and varies by campus, level and chosen programme. The published range runs from IDR 25,000,000 per year for Early Learning (ELC) up to IDR 187,000,000 per year for Grade 12.

- The school year is structured in four terms. Where a per-term figure is required, the per-term amount can be calculated by dividing the annual tuition by four (annual tuition ÷ 4 = per-term tuition). Using the school's published annual range, the equivalent per-term examples are:
- Early Learning (example low end): IDR 25,000,000 per year — IDR 6,250,000 per term (25,000,000 ÷ 4).
- Upper end (Grade 12 example): IDR 187,000,000 per year — IDR 46,750,000 per term (187,000,000 ÷ 4).

- Published material and widely reported summaries list tuition examples across levels; reported annual figures commonly shown in public summaries place preschool/early learning tuition near IDR 26,000,000 and upper-secondary figures in the mid-to-high hundreds of millions of rupiah depending on campus and programme. Exact annual tuition for each specific grade and campus is set by the school and will vary.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Tuition is set per academic year. Parents may pay the annual tuition in full or choose instalment options: quarterly (every three months) or monthly instalments. There is no separate monthly fee beyond the annual tuition; instalment schedules are an option for settling the annual fee.

- A 5% younger-sibling fee waiver is applied for eligible siblings. Fee increases are determined annually by management.

- When withdrawing a student, the school must be notified at least 30 calendar days before the last day of the student's final term; failure to provide the required notice may result in a financial penalty. Withdrawal and refund provisions are governed by the school's Withdrawal and Refund Policy. Specific withdrawal penalties and any entitlement to refunds are set out in that policy.

Boarding fees

- Boarding is not applicable to Sampoerna Academy day campuses. Sampoerna Academy is operated as a network of day schools; boarding arrangements are not part of the standard offerings for the Academy campuses. No separate boarding fees are charged at the Academy campuses.

Other costs and fees (items excluded from tuition and commonly charged separately)

- The annual tuition excludes the following items; these are charged separately as applicable:
- One-time registration/enrolment fee for new students.
- Textbooks and learning resources.
- Learning resource or supplementary learning fees (where applicable).
- School uniform costs. The school publishes uniform guidelines; uniform purchase is a separate cost.
- Field trips, excursions and learning-related travel (local and out-of-city).
- Chromebooks, laptops or other dedicated student devices (if required).
- External examination fees (IGCSE, IB DP, external assessments) and registration for those exams.
- ESL, remedial classes, extracurricular course fees and other specialist services.

Refund information and withdrawal penalties

- Withdrawal notification must be provided at least 30 calendar days before the student's final term date. Failure to meet the notice requirement may lead to a financial penalty. Detailed withdrawal fees and the school's Refund Policy are set by the Admissions/Student Services office and are subject to change. Refund entitlements, timing and any administrative deductions are governed by that policy.

Fee payment options (methods)

- The school offers annual, quarterly or monthly instalment schedules for payment of the annual tuition. Publicly available materials do not provide a detailed list of accepted payment channels (for example, which banks, virtual accounts, or card processors are accepted) in published fee summaries; parents are directed to the school's Admissions/Student Recruitment team for the available payment channels and the administrative procedures for instalments and invoicing.

Key practical notes for parents

- Tuition is charged per academic year and may vary by campus, grade and programme (Cambridge vs IB options). The school does not charge a separate building/development fee.

- Per-term figures in this summary are calculated by dividing the school's published annual tuition by four, as the academic year is organised into four terms; use that formula to produce per-term amounts for any published annual tuition. This per-term split is a derived calculation based on the school's term structure.

Summary of availability of detailed numbers

- The school publishes a clear annual tuition range and the list of items excluded from tuition, but does not publish a single, campus-specific per-grade public fee table in the downloadable handbook material. Public press summaries and school brochures report numeric examples for particular years and campuses; exact annual fees for each grade and campus and the precise registration fee amount are set by the school and can vary. Where a precise per-grade or per-campus figure is required, the school's Admissions/Student Recruitment office provides the official fee schedule and invoice options.
