The Essentials

Sampoerna Academy BSD has typical class sizes of 10, instruction in English.

Location

BSD Campus is located at Jl. Raya Serpong BSD CBD Lot II-2, Lengkong Gudang, Serpong, Tangerang Selatan. It sits in the Lengkong Gudang area within the BSD City neighborhood of South Tangerang. The campus is part of the Sampoerna Academy network and serves students from Playgroup through high school.

Stages

Playgroup (PG), Elementary School, Middle School, and High School.

Type

International school (Cambridge International curriculum).

School day structure

Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

Fees

Annual tuition at Sampoerna Academy BSD ranges from up to IDR 26,000,000 for 2026/27.

Application fees

- A one‑time application/registration fee is charged for new students (non‑recurring). The school lists this as a separate, one‑off charge but does not publish a fixed universal amount for all campuses; promotional waivers or discounts for the registration fee have been offered at times.

Tuition fees by year group (annual amounts and billing note)

- General published range: tuition varies by campus, grade and curriculum. Published guidance states tuition ranges roughly from IDR 25,000,000–IDR 26,000,000 per year for early learning/preschool up to a higher secondary amount in the upper hundreds of millions of rupiah per year (examples across published materials show upper‑year figures given as around IDR 150,000,000 to IDR 187,000,000 per year depending on source and campus). Exact annual tuition for a specific grade and campus is not listed as a single table in public materials; amounts depend on campus location and the programme chosen (Cambridge or IB).

- Because specific per‑grade / per‑term fee tables are not published in a single public schedule, parents should expect that: annual tuition is the primary charge, and that the published figures above are representative ranges rather than fixed per‑grade lists. Where term or instalment amounts are used, they are derived from dividing the applicable annual tuition according to the school's invoicing arrangement for that intake.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- The school operates on an academic year schedule and offers payment arrangements that include full‑payment and instalment options tied to academic terms/quarters. Promotional material associated with payment campaigns references term/quarter payments (for example, references to term 3 and term 4 for the 2025/2026 academic year), and bank partner instalment promotions have been run. These indicate the school accepts full payments, and that parents may also pay by instalment via participating bank programmes or by using card/E‑payment channels when these options are offered. Specific term‑by‑term invoice amounts are not published as a single public fee table.

- Payment deadlines, late‑payment penalties, and the precise number and timing of instalment dates are determined at the point of enrollment and will be shown on the school's invoice for the student's campus and grade. Promotional discounts have been applied for early/full payments in recent enrollment campaigns.

Boarding / Residential fees

- Boarding is not listed as a provision at the BSD campus; the campus and admissions information detail day‑school facilities and do not list boarding or residential accommodation as a chargeable option. Therefore no separate boarding fees apply at the BSD campus.

Other costs and typical additional fees

- Items commonly charged in addition to tuition (listed by the school as excluded from the published tuition figure) include:
- One‑time registration/application fee for new students.
- Books and learning resources.
- Uniforms (example published estimates in public media for some campuses show uniform package costs around IDR 2,100,000; uniform costs may vary by campus).
- Field trips and extracurricular activity fees.
- Device costs (Chromebook or laptop) where required.
- External examination fees (Cambridge or IB external exams) and standardized test fees.
- ESL or additional learning support, specialised courses and other optional services.

- The school states that it does not charge an upfront building/development fee (uang pangkal / biaya gedung).

Refund information

- No detailed public refund policy for tuition, registration, or other fees is published in the school's standard fee guidance that is publicly available. Promotional offers in recent admission cycles have included fee waivers or discounts, but a specific, published refund policy for withdrawn students or cancelled enrollments is not available in the public materials reviewed. Parents are advised that refunds or cancellations (and any associated terms) will be governed by the school's enrollment agreement and the invoice terms issued at acceptance.

Fee payment options

- Payment channels and options that have been used or promoted include:
- Full payment by bank transfer or electronic payment.
- Credit/debit card payment and EDC card processing for payment transactions (campaign materials reference EDC usage for promo transactions).
- Instalment / cicilan programmes via participating partner banks (bank instalment promotions and partner bank lists have been used for school fee payments).

Summary of limits to the fee detail provided above

- The school's public admissions and campus materials provide representative annual tuition ranges by level and list the fee items that are not included in published tuition figures, and they confirm the absence of a building/development (uang pangkal) fee. However, a full, itemised per‑grade and per‑term fee table (specific amounts for each grade and the official per‑term instalment breakdown) and a specific published refund policy are not available in the public materials reviewed. The figures above therefore present the published ranges and the common additional charges that parents should budget for; exact per‑grade, per‑term, and refundable‑amount details are provided to families in the school's enrollment paperwork and invoice at acceptance.
