Students participate in a variety of extracurricular programs such as robotics and competitive sports teams.

The Essentials

Penabur Intercultural School has instruction in English.

Fees
Application fees
- Application / registration (form) fee: typically a small one-time charge paid when submitting an application. Typical amounts reported for Penabur International campuses range from about IDR 300,000 to IDR 3,000,000 depending on campus and year.
- Entrance / development deposit ("uang pangkal"): a one‑time capital/development payment required when a student is accepted. Reported values for Penabur International campuses are commonly in the tens of millions of rupiah; an often-cited example for a Penabur International campus is IDR 58,000,000. This entrance payment frequently covers initial items such as infrastructure contribution, initial books and a portion of uniform costs.

Tuition fees by year group (per month / per term / per year)
- Fee format: tuition is most commonly billed as a monthly school fee (SPP) with schools offering options to pay per term or annually in some cases. Where monthly SPP is shown, parents may also be able to pay termly or annually (annual payment often attracts a small discount).
- Early Years / Kindergarten (illustrative range): approximately IDR 4,000,000 to IDR 8,000,000 per month depending on campus and program (full‑day vs half‑day).
- Primary years (illustrative range): approximately IDR 6,000,000 to IDR 9,000,000 per month; some Penabur International units report monthly SPP in the IDR 8,000,000–8,500,000 area for primary level. Example campus listing shows SPP around IDR 8,420,000 per month for one Penabur International campus.
- Lower secondary / Middle school (illustrative range): approximately IDR 7,000,000 to IDR 10,000,000 per month; exact amounts vary by campus and grade.
- Upper secondary / Senior school (illustrative range): approximately IDR 8,000,000 to IDR 14,000,000+ per month for higher grade‑levels or international curriculum pathways; exact fees depend on subject options and campus.
- Example conversion to annual: where SPP is shown monthly, multiply the monthly SPP by 12 for a full-year equivalent unless the school publishes a different annual billing schedule or offers a multi‑month discount. Some campuses publish fees per term rather than per month—verify the campus billing frequency when budgeting.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Typical billing cadence: monthly SPP is common; many campuses also provide termly or annual invoicing options. Annual/termly payment options sometimes include a small discount if paid up front.
- Entrance/development payment deadlines: the entrance (uang pangkal) payment is normally due shortly after an offer of placement (commonly within 7–30 days of acceptance) and full or partial payment schedules are set by each campus.
- Late payment and collection: schools in the same sector typically apply administrative penalties or withhold certain services (reports/enrolment confirmation) for overdue accounts; terms vary by campus. Plan to observe each campus's published due dates to avoid penalties.

Boarding fees (if applicable)
- Boarding: Penabur International campuses in urban Indonesia operate as day schools and do not normally charge boarding or asrama fees because boarding is not provided at the main Penabur International urban campuses. Budget planning can treat Penabur International schooling as non‑boarding (day school).

Other costs and recurring additional fees
- Annual fee / student levy: many campuses charge a separate annual levy (often called an annual fee) to cover activities and administration; examples reported for Penabur International campuses show an annual fee around IDR 2,500,000 in some campus listings.
- Books and printed learning materials: one‑time book charges or book bundles are commonly billed at enrolment or annually; some campuses include first‑year books in the entrance fee (uang pangkal). Expect a separate book cost in subsequent years.
- Uniforms and equipment: uniform and kit costs are charged either as part of the entrance package (first year) or invoiced separately; typical uniform costs reported for comparable schools range from about IDR 1,200,000 to IDR 3,000,000 depending on the number of sets and campus.
- Extracurricular activities, field trips and international study tours: these are usually charged separately and can be material (for example, short overseas trips or special camps can cost several million rupiah per trip). Budget separately for optional excursions and competition fees.
- Transport and catering: school bus services and on‑site catering are typically optional services billed separately to families and priced by route or meal plan.

Refund information (where applicable)
- Entrance / development payment (uang pangkal): across Indonesian private schools the entrance/development payment is commonly non‑refundable once a student enrolls; some campuses apply pro‑rata rules for early withdrawal in the orientation period but generally treat the entrance/development fee as non‑refundable after acceptance. This practice is common across comparable schools in the same sector.
- Tuition (SPP) refunds and withdrawal: standard practice is that tuition already billed and used is not refundable; some schools will apply pro‑rata refunds for unused months if a student withdraws early in the academic year, but policies are campus‑specific and timing‑sensitive (withdrawal before term start vs during term). Confirm the campus policy for mid‑year withdrawal, as timing determines refund eligibility.

Fee payment options
- Bank transfer to the school's designated account is widely accepted and commonly used for one‑time and recurring fee payments. Many schools accept transfers through major Indonesian banks and local payment channels.
- Credit / debit card payments and online card processing are supported at many school administrative offices or through partner payment gateways; card surcharges may apply depending on the bank or payment processor.
- Instalment plans: some campuses allow scheduled instalments for large one‑time fees (entrance/development payments) or accept termly instalments for tuition; specific instalment availability and any administrative fees or discounts depend on the campus and the chosen payment plan.

Practical budgeting notes
- When planning, treat the following as separate line items: entrance/development fee (one‑time), SPP (monthly/termly/annual tuition), annual levy, books, uniforms, transport, catering, and optional activities (trips/camps/competitions). Typical total first‑year outlay for a Penabur International campus family commonly includes the entrance/development fee (tens of millions IDR) plus 6–12 months of SPP and initial uniform/book charges.

Summary (concise)
- Application fee: small one‑time payment on application (approx. IDR 300,000–3,000,000). Entrance/development fee: one‑time, typically tens of millions IDR (example reported IDR 58,000,000). Monthly tuition (SPP): ranges by level—early years approx IDR 4–8M/month, primary approx IDR 6–9M/month, secondary approx IDR 7–14M+/month. Annual levy, books, uniforms, transport and optional extracurriculars are additional. Boarding is not typical for Penabur International urban campuses. Payment by bank transfer and credit/debit card is commonly accepted; instalment options are offered at some campuses.
