Fees
Application fees
- A one-off Registration Fee is required when a student first joins the school; this registration/pangkal fee is payable only once for the duration of the student's time at the school.
- A Development (Building) Fee is payable at the time of enrollment.
- For a newly accepted student, the application form, registration fee, development fee and the Annual Fee must be settled in full at the time of enrollment.

Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)
- The school charges a Monthly School Fee (SPP) that is billed monthly and is payable for 12 months in every academic year. Specific per-year or per-term numeric tuition amounts by year group (preschool, primary, junior high, senior high) are not published in the school's publicly posted fee policy. The school's published policy therefore provides the structure (monthly SPP and annual fee) but does not provide numeric fee tables by year group or per term.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Monthly school fees (SPP) must be settled by the 10th of each month. Late payment will incur a daily penalty. Monthly school fees are payable for 12 months in the academic year.
- The Annual Fee must be paid at enrollment for new students, or at the beginning of the new academic year for continuing students.
- For new students, registration, development and annual fees must be paid in full at the time of enrollment. Existing students must complete re-enrolment when moving between school levels (TK→SD, SD→SMP, SMP→SMA).

Boarding fees
- The school is described as a day school providing education from preschool to Year 12; no boarding program or boarding fee schedule is published. Therefore boarding fees are not applicable based on the school's published materials.

Other costs and one-off charges
- The published fee policy lists additional required costs that parents must pay, including books and uniforms, and other required fees alongside registration, development and annual fees. Specific amounts for books, uniform, extracurricular activities, meals, excursions or similar ancillary costs are not published in the publicly posted fee policy.

Refunds and transfers
- All fees paid to the school are explicitly stated as non-refundable and non-transferable under any circumstances.

Fee payment options (methods)
- The school's published fee policy and admission notes set out payment timing and items to be paid but do not list specific accepted payment channels (bank transfer, credit card, direct debit, cash, digital wallet, etc.). No public fee-payment methods are specified in the posted fee policy.

Summary of findings (fee data availability)
- The school's published fee policy (most recently posted material) defines the fee categories (Registration Fee, Development/Building Fee, Annual Fee, Monthly School Fee/SPP, books & uniform and other required fees), billing schedule (monthly SPP due by the 10th, payable for 12 months, annual fee timing, re-enrolment points) and refund rules (all fees non-refundable). Numeric amounts for registration, development, annual, monthly tuition by year group, per-term breakdowns, boarding fees and specific payment-method options are not published in the school's publicly posted fee policy and therefore are not available in the public record reviewed.
