Jakarta gives you 16 international-school options, but the market is tight. A realistic annual fee budget per child is about $11,500 at the median, with a lower-to-upper quartile spread from roughly $6,000 to $22,400; for senior years, the local-currency median is IDR 194,517,000, with most schools falling between about IDR 109,385,000 and IDR 294,758,500, or around $12,060 at the median. No inflation data are supplied, so for a five-year posting you should treat today’s fees as only a baseline rather than a reliable total-cost forecast. The actual choice set is led by IB (6 schools), American (5), British (4), Indonesian (4), Cambridge International (3) and one French Baccalaureate option. Admission pressure is severe: every assessed school is constrained, with 11 on waitlist and 5 closed, and 12 schools reporting waitlists.
