Fees
Application fees and entrance charges - Partnership Fund: 1 unit = IDR 1,250,000; minimum 1 unit required at registration. - An entrance/registration fee (referred to as "uang pangkal") is used in the school's payment structure; sibling discounts apply to the entrance fee but the public materials do not list a fixed numeric amount for the entrance fee.
Tuition fees by year group (per term and per year) - Specific tuition fee amounts per year group and per term are not published in the school's public materials for the 2026/27 academic year. No public fee table for tuition by grade or term is available.
Billing schedule and payment terms - Default billing method: automatic bank debit (autodebet). Parents are required to register a bank account with the school's partner bank for autodebet. - Autodebet attempts: two automatic debit attempts are scheduled each billing period — first on the 11th (00:00) and, if the first attempt fails, a second attempt on the 18th (00:00). - Failed-debit penalty: a fee of IDR 50,000 is charged for each failed autodebet attempt. Parents are advised to ensure funds are available at least one business day before the scheduled debit. - Payment cadence and promotional terms: options include payment by installment or payment of one full academic year in advance (which may attract a discount); specific deadlines and conditions apply to receive any advance-payment discount. Failure to complete payments on the agreed schedule (for installment payers) may be treated as cancellation of registration and payments already made are generally non-refundable. - Cashless policy at cashier: the school operates a cashless cashier system; cash is accepted only up to a stated maximum (cash accepted up to IDR 500,000).
Boarding fees (if applicable) - A boarding/residential program is not listed among the school's campus facilities or public materials; no boarding fees are published. (No public boarding programme or boarding fee schedule is displayed in the school's public brochure and enrollment materials.)
Other costs and typical additional charges - Partnership Fund (IDR 1,250,000 per unit) and entrance/registration fee (uang pangkal) as noted above. - Book charges / textbook ordering: the school uses a book-order system for textbook purchases; book costs are managed via a dedicated book-order portal. Specific book charges are not listed publicly. - Lunch costs: a school lunch system is operated through a separate lunch portal; lunch is billed or prepaid through that system. Specific lunch prices are not published in the public materials. - Activity / event fees and other program fees: the school's financial policy references "uang kegiatan" (activity fees) and "uang buku" (book fees) as possible additional charges; specific amounts are set for the relevant academic year but are not published as a public fee table. - Uniforms and dress-code items: a dress code and uniform requirements are specified for departments, but uniform pricing is not published in the public materials.
Refund information - General non-refundable policy: all payments made to the school are stated as non-refundable. This non-refundable rule is applied broadly to payments unless an explicit exception is defined in the enrollment policy. - Exception when a candidate is not accepted: if an external applicant is not accepted, the school will refund the entrance fee (uang pangkal) and the partnership fund after deducting any administrative charges (if applicable). Other payments remain non-refundable.
Fee payment options and mechanics - Autodebet (automatic bank debit) is the default payment mechanism and registration of a partner-bank account is required for autodebet processing. - Installment plans are supported; parents who miss installment payments without notification may be treated as cancelling enrollment and payments already made are generally non-refundable. - One-year-in-advance payment is accepted and may attract a discount when paid according to the school's specified deadlines and application form. - Cashless cashier payments are used on campus; limited cash payments are accepted up to a stated maximum.
Summary statement about numeric fee amounts for 2026/27 - Numeric amounts for application/entrance fees (beyond the Partnership Fund unit), annual tuition per grade or per term, boarding fees (if any), uniform pricing, and published book or activity price lists are not provided in the school's publicly available materials for the 2026/27 academic year. The items and policies above reflect the school's published financial policy, payment mechanics, and known fixed item (Partnership Fund IDR 1,250,000).

Admissions
Admissions
1. Determine enrollment route. Internal MSCS students (alumni) and External students (non-MSCS) follow different paths. Internal enrollment includes policies on non-automatic promotion and non-automatic acceptance; External enrollment requires a placement test, scheduled by the school. If external applicants are not accepted, the school will refund the entry fee and partnership fund after deducting administration fees (if any).
2. Complete pre-registration data for queue/reg number. The form requires Level, Student Name, Date of Birth, Gender, and at least one parent contact. Data should align with official documents (birth certificate, ID cards). The form also collects Address, City, Previous School, Email, and a Partnership Fund selection.
3. Submit enrollment data and select a package indent or other enrollment pathway. The process uses Paket Indent for enrollments two years ahead and has different pathways for Preschool, Elementary, Junior High, and Senior High. The enrollment package letter collects information on the tuition package, and there are rules for internal vs external and alignment to grade level.
4. Acknowledge the Enrollment Package Statement and Financial Policy. The package statement requires agreement to policies including non-automatic acceptance, any delays if a student does not advance to the next grade, and determines how tuition and activities fees are calculated. The financial policy specifies that if a student fails to pay by the scheduled dates, the registration is considered canceled and payments are non-refundable, with administrative charges possibly applied.
5. For external applicants, a placement test is conducted at the time designated by the school (either next enrollment year or at the relevant level). The outcome determines acceptance; if not accepted, refunds are issued as described.
