School-wide summary of fees - Annual tuition range: IDR 38,000,000 up to IDR 130,000,000 per year depending on year group. School fees as stated include one set of textbooks (mostly imported), selected co-curricular activities (CCA/ASA sessions), local Surabaya character-development camps, and experiential learning journeys; high‑school fees also include university‑placement and career counseling services. School fees do not include registration/enrolment fees, stationery, meals, uniforms, competitions, external examination fees (Checkpoint, IGCSE, AS/A Level), out‑of‑town or overseas immersion trips, or tuition by third‑party providers.
Application and registration fees - Application/form fee: IDR 350,000 (form/application processing). - One‑time registration / entrance fee (commonly called a building fee / development fee): reported examples at IDR 7,250,000 for registration and IDR 29,000,000 for a building fee in published local coverage. These one‑time fees are treated separately from the annual tuition.
Tuition fees by year group (what is available) - Early Learning Centre (ELC / preschool): listed at approximately IDR 38,000,000 per year as the lower end of the published fee range. - Senior secondary (Year 12 / A‑Level): listed at approximately IDR 130,000,000 per year as the upper end of the published fee range. - Mid and lower primary / middle years: published third‑party overviews list broad annual ranges for the school between about IDR 46,000,000 and IDR 163,000,000 depending on grade and report; however, a full grade‑by‑grade, per‑term fee table is not publicly given. Use the annual range above as the authoritative published band for budget planning.
Per‑term / per‑installment detail - The school's published information gives annual figures and a published overall range but does not publish a public, detailed per‑grade, per‑term fee table for the 2026/27 academic year. No verified per‑term amounts by year group were found in publicly available material. Annual amounts are typically billed according to the billing schedule (see below).
Billing schedule and payment terms - Billing: The school issues a billing statement upon acceptance and expects payment by the due dates listed on that billing statement. Payments must be made in the correct amount and before the due date so administration and materials can be prepared. - Common payment arrangements reported for similar schools in Surabaya include annual, semi‑annual, and termly instalment options; no official public per‑grade instalment calendar or exact term‑due dates for 2026/27 was published.
Boarding fees - Boarding is not applicable; the school is presented as a day international school and no boarding programme or boarding fees are published.
Other compulsory or typical additional costs - Uniforms: charged separately; not included in the annual tuition. Parents must purchase uniforms on the dates scheduled by the enrolment team. - Meals / canteen: meals are not included in the published tuition and are billed separately. - External examination fees: Checkpoint, IGCSE, AS and A Level examination fees are not included in the school tuition and are billed separately. - Stationery, exercise books and personal supplies: not included in tuition. - Learning devices, Chromebooks / laptops or specialty equipment for specific grades or programs may be charged separately when required. Published local overviews also reference typical event or activity charges (competitions, immersion trips) as additional costs.
Refunds and transferability - No public, detailed refund policy or full terms on refundability/transferability of payments was published in the material available. Published summaries for comparable schools in the region sometimes treat certain payments (registration, instalments) as non‑refundable, but no definitive, public refund clause for Singapore National Academy was located.
Fee payment options - Accepted payment methods: cash, debit card, credit card, giro, or bank transfer to the student's Maspion Virtual Account. Parents are required to ensure payment matches the billing statement amount and is paid by the due date.
Summary of limits of publicly available fee detail - The school publishes an annual fee band (IDR 38,000,000 to IDR 130,000,000) and what is included and excluded, and it lists accepted payment methods. A verified, grade‑by‑grade, per‑term fee schedule for the 2026/27 academic year was not publicly available in the materials reviewed; third‑party local media and school‑summary sites report typical registration and building fees and give broad annual ranges, but they do not provide an official, complete per‑grade, per‑term breakdown. For transparency in your database, note that the publicly published information provides an annual fee band and common additional fees but does not include an official per‑grade, per‑term table.
