The latest data on international school prices in Jakarta reveals a wide range of tuition fees, reflecting the diverse options available to expatriate families. The minimum annual fee stands at US$4,263, offering a more affordable entry point for those seeking international education. This contrasts sharply with the maximum price of US$30,704, indicative of the premium institutions that cater to higher-income families or those desiring extensive facilities and extracurricular activities.

The first quartile (Q1) price is US$9,258, meaning that 25% of international schools in Jakarta charge below this amount. This suggests that numerous mid-range options balance cost and quality, making international education accessible to a broader segment of the expatriate community.

At the median price of US$14,173, families can expect to find schools that offer a standard level of education with reasonable facilities and teaching quality. This median value also reflects the central tendency of international school fees in Jakarta, providing a benchmark for what most expatriates might expect to pay.

The third quartile (Q3) price is US$20,654, indicating that 75% of schools charge below this amount. Schools in this range are likely to offer more comprehensive programmes and better facilities, catering to families who prioritise a higher level of educational and extracurricular opportunities.
