Fees
Application / registration fees
- Application / registration fee (one‑time at application): commonly reported between IDR 300,000 and IDR 3,000,000 depending on year level and campus; some published listings for the BSD/Gading Serpong campus show figures in the lower hundreds of thousands while other published notices show higher admission administration charges for specific entry levels.

One‑time entry / enrolment fee (Uang Pangkal / admission deposit)
- One‑time entry/enrolment (uang pangkal) is charged on enrolment and is reported in public listings for the Serpong/BSD campus in a range from approximately IDR 18,000,000 up to around IDR 35,000,000 depending on level and intake. This fee is a separate, one‑time charge at acceptance.

Tuition (SPP) — by year group and basis of billing
- Published annual tuition (SPP) ranges for Stella Maris (Serpong/BSD) are reported at approximately IDR 21,000,000 to IDR 32,000,000 per year; the lower end generally corresponds to younger/primary levels and the higher end to secondary/upper levels.
- The school's parent handbooks and finance notes for the BSD campus specify the school issues monthly or period billing and offers discounts for upfront payments: paying one full year in advance receives a one‑month SPP discount; paying six months in advance receives a 4% discount. The school requires timely payment and applies late penalties. Exact per‑term tuition amounts by individual grade are not published in the public handbook documents reviewed; see the summary at the end for details.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Regular administrative and tuition payments are due by the 10th of each month (this applies to school administrative bills including SPP). If a report card is to be issued earlier than the 10th, outstanding fees must be settled before distribution. Late payment penalties are applied (example: a published penalty for late SPP is IDR 150,000 per month and IDR 100,000 for late building‑ or activity‑donation payments). The finance policy includes formal notice steps for overdue accounts.
- Payment frequency options used in practice include monthly payments, semester/half‑year payments, and annual prepayment (with the discounts described above). The school operates a virtual account payment system for student accounts; specific payment flows and discount rules are set out in the school handbooks.

Boarding fees (if applicable)
- The BSD / Gading Serpong Stella Maris campus materials and parent handbooks reviewed do not list a boarding programme or boarding fees for the BSD day‑school campus. Public summaries that mention a boarding option refer to other contexts or to the broader Stella Maris group; there are no boarding fee schedules shown in the BSD handbooks. If a boarding offer exists at a specific Stella Maris campus, its fees were not present in the BSD campus handbooks examined.

Other costs and typical additional fees
- Uniforms, textbooks and learning‑centre/course fees, activity fees, school building/donation fees, examination fees, and transport (antar‑jemput / school bus) charges are additional to SPP and are billed through the school's finance system. These additional charges are payable through the same payment channels and are specifically itemised on student billing statements. The school handbook lists that payment items such as seragam (uniform), buku (books), kursus (learning centre/course) and antar‑jemput (transport) are charged in addition to SPP.
- Event or competition registration fees and extracurricular participation fees are charged separately and, in at least some published event documents for the campus, are stated to be non‑refundable for cancelled participation.

Refund information
- There is no comprehensive public general refund policy for tuition and enrolment fees published in the BSD campus handbooks examined. Some one‑off payments such as event registrations have explicit non‑refund clauses in event notices; formal refund rules for entrance/registration or building contributions are not set out in the public handbook excerpts available. For student account balances, the school's finance procedures and notice steps for overdue payments are published; specific refundable vs non‑refundable classifications for each fee type were not published in the handbook pages reviewed.

Fee payment options and bank details (how payments are accepted)
- Accepted payment channels used by the BSD campus are: Virtual Account payments (BCA Virtual Account format described in the handbook), bank transfer to school accounts (examples published in parent handbooks include BCA and Bank Sinarmas accounts used for uniforms/books and selected payments), and other bank transfer instructions as shown on student billing. The handbook gives examples of Virtual Account usage (BCA VA numbers using a school code + student NIS) and specific account numbers for book/uniform payments. Payment contacts and finance office WhatsApp numbers are provided in the handbooks for reconciliation.

Summary of scope and gaps in publicly available fee details
- Publicly available handbooks and local published listings provide clear billing rules (due dates, late penalties, virtual account and bank transfer methods, and discount rules for prepayment) and typical headline figures (application/registration ranges, one‑time entry fee ranges, and annual SPP ranges). However, an itemised published fee schedule giving exact tuition (SPP) by individual year group and the exact per‑term amounts for the 2026/27 academic year was not present in the BSD campus handbooks and related public documents reviewed. The numerical figures in this overview are therefore presented as the ranges and examples that are publicly reported for the Serpong/BSD campus; exact per‑term fee breakdowns by grade and a full 2026/27 line‑by‑line fee schedule were not found in the examined public handbooks and notices.
