How much does CurioKids cost in Indonesia?
There are three plans, and the number of lessons a week is the only thing that sets them apart: 1 on Starter, 2 on Growth, 3 on Accelerator. Your child gets the same lesson on each: live, 1-to-1, 25 minutes, with a real teacher in the CurioKids online classroom.
Plans for families in Indonesia cost Rp525,000, Rp880,000 or Rp1,230,000 every 4 weeks for 1, 2 or 3 lessons a week, from Rp102,500 per lesson. Every plan can be paid weekly instead.
| Plan | Lessons | Every 4 weeks | Per lesson | Or weekly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 1 a week (4 every 4 weeks) | Rp525,000 | Rp131,250 | Rp145,000 a week |
| Growth | 2 a week (8 every 4 weeks) | Rp880,000 | Rp110,000 | Rp240,000 a week |
| Accelerator | 3 a week (12 every 4 weeks) | Rp1,230,000 | Rp102,500 | Rp335,000 a week |

Choosing more lessons a week lowers the price of each one; Starter keeps the total lowest. You don't pay extra to use the classroom.
Do families in Indonesia pay in rupiah?
Yes. When you sign up and choose Indonesia as your country, every price is shown in Indonesian rupiah and your card is charged in rupiah. A card issued by an Indonesian bank pays the exact amount you saw, without a currency conversion.
If your card comes from a bank outside Indonesia, the bank may convert the rupiah amount at its own rate. Card payments are processed by Stripe, and CurioKids never sees your full card number.
What does my child get in a CurioKids plan?
Every plan includes the same: live, 1-to-1, 25-minute lessons with a real teacher for children aged 4 to 12, in the CurioKids online classroom with video, an interactive whiteboard, lesson slides and games. Most children start with Phonics Starter, our 52-lesson reading course, then move through CEFR-based levels Pre-A1, A1 and A2. Teachers give feedback after lessons, you follow progress in your parent dashboard, and there is no charge for materials. See our curriculum and safety pages.
Many children in Indonesia read Bahasa Indonesia easily, because its spelling is so regular. English spelling surprises them: the same sound can be written in several ways, and a letter like c sounds different. A course that teaches English letter sounds in a set order makes English reading predictable again, and 1-to-1 time gives your child plenty of speaking, wherever their school puts English in the timetable.
How does billing every 4 weeks fit the school year in Indonesia?
The school year in Indonesia generally starts in July and runs in two semesters, with a break between them and a longer holiday at the end of the year; your child's school sets the exact dates. CurioKids doesn't bill by calendar month, so every billing period has the same number of lessons, whether it covers exam weeks or a holiday.
Plans bill every 4 weeks, not by calendar month, so every billing period has the same number of lessons: 13 payments a year. Every plan can be paid weekly instead, and paying every 4 weeks costs less than four weekly payments. You're charged when you subscribe and then at the start of each billing period. Your price is locked on your subscription, so future price changes don't affect you. You can change plan or cancel anytime, and cancel a single lesson up to 2 hours before it starts.
Around Lebaran, when many families travel to see relatives, cancel the lessons you'll miss and keep the plan. If a semester of exams makes evenings tight, drop to Starter for a while and move back up afterwards.
What time would lessons be in WIB, WITA or WIT?
When you book, every lesson time is shown in your local time, so a family in Bali on WITA or in Papua on WIT sees its own clock, not Jakarta's. None of Indonesia's three time zones changes its clocks during the year, so a weekly slot stays where you put it.
After school, roughly 4pm to 8pm local time, works for most children, and a 25-minute lesson fits around religious classes and sport. A weekend morning is the other option. Our guide to online lessons across time zones has more on choosing a slot.
Which plan suits a child in Indonesia?
How much English your child hears, and at what age they started, make the biggest difference:
- Starter: a child at a school with plenty of English who mainly wants a weekly conversation, or a busy older child with religious classes or sport in the afternoons.
- Growth: a young child starting English reading with Phonics Starter, or a primary child whose school has offered little English so far.
- Accelerator: a child who speaks Javanese, Sundanese or another regional language at home, learns Bahasa Indonesia at school and wants to build English quickly, without getting overtired.
Keep your home languages going: they help, not hinder. You can change plan whenever you need to. See how many English lessons a week does my child need? and online English lessons for children in Indonesia.
How does the cost compare with tutoring centres and English courses in Indonesia?
Families in Indonesia have plenty of choice: a tutoring centre (bimbel) that includes English, an English course in a group, a private tutor who visits the house, or lessons online. Fees are usually per month, per level or per meeting, so compare what each one actually delivers:
- The fee per meeting, worked out from the monthly or per-level price.
- The length of each meeting and how much of it your child speaks English, not just listens.
- How many children are in the group, and whether they're at your child's level.
- Registration, module and book fees, and whether you pay a whole level up front.
- Time in traffic to and from a centre, and what happens if you miss a meeting.
A group is cheaper per hour because families share the teacher; a 1-to-1 lesson gives your child all of the teacher's attention. Our guide 1-to-1 or group English classes: which suits my child? weighs them up.
Is the first lesson free for families in Indonesia?
Yes. You create a parent account, add your child and book without a card. In the 25-minute lesson the teacher gets to know your child, children aged 4 to 12, and records where their English is now. You decide afterwards; if you don't carry on, there's nothing to cancel and nothing to pay.
Lessons open country by country. If lessons for families in Indonesia haven't opened yet, a waitlist shows in place of the prices. Our guide on what to look for in a free first lesson explains what to watch for.
Where can I see the prices for Indonesia?

Frequently asked questions
Are CurioKids prices for Indonesia in rupiah?
Yes. Families in Indonesia see and pay CurioKids prices in Indonesian rupiah, because the country you choose at sign-up sets the currency. An Indonesian card pays without conversion.
We live in Makassar. Will lesson times be in our time zone?
Yes. When you book, lesson times are shown in your local time, so a family in Makassar sees WITA times. Indonesia's time zones don't change their clocks, so your slot stays put.
What happens to our lessons during Lebaran?
You can cancel single lessons up to 2 hours before each one and keep your plan, or change to fewer lessons for a while. Cancelling the plan takes effect at the end of the billing period.
