Admissions
Admissions
Step 1 – Enquiry: The process begins by completing the Enquiry Form. Families are encouraged to speak with the Admissions Team and to arrange a visit to experience Malvern College Tokyo firsthand. You may also email the Admissions Team directly to share basic details about your child and to request guidance on next steps. This stage signals initial interest and sets up the opportunity for a campus visit and a later assessment.
Step 2 – Visit Us: A personalised campus tour or a scheduled Friday tour is available to experience the school's atmosphere, facilities and teaching approach. You will see how the IB PYP Programme, IB MYP Programme and the planned IB Diploma pathways shape day‑to‑day learning in a British‑style international school environment. This visit helps families decide whether the ethos and environment suit their child.
Step 3 – Registration: After your enquiry, you should complete the Online Application and pay the Registration Fee. Before applying, review the Age Guidelines to confirm the appropriate year group for your child, and use a desktop or laptop for the online form if possible. The online application requires uploading a photograph and all required documentation, and you must pay the non‑refundable application/registration sequence: 22,000 JPY application fee and 300,000 JPY Registration Fee per child. All steps must be completed before an assessment and interview can be arranged.
Step 4 – Entrance Assessments: The Admissions process includes phase-based assessments for 2026‑27. Phase 1 runs August to mid‑October 2025, Phase 2 from mid‑October 2025 to mid‑January 2026 (results by end February 2026), and Phase 3 from mid‑January 2026 to mid‑March 2026 (results by end April 2026). Assessments are age‑appropriate and include an English interview supplemented by Japanese; the format varies by age. Pre‑Prep uses observation sessions, Prep 1–3 combines English interviews with parent/ pupil discussion, and Prep 4+ adds an age‑specific online assessment and a written task in English, followed by a parent–pupil interview. Where applicable, candidates also undergo an externally moderated CAT4 online assessment to measure cognitive abilities.
Step 5 – Outcome: After completing the assessments, the admissions panel decides on placement based on the application, latest school reports (if available), assessment results, language proficiency, and other entry criteria. A formal offer may be issued if a place is available; waiting lists are sometimes in operation, and the Admissions Team provides updates on the likelihood of future enrolment when relevant. Decisions and any waitlist status are communicated to families as soon as possible.
Notes on language, assessment, and logistics: English is the main medium of instruction, with mandatory daily Japanese lessons and EAL support as needed. Interviews are conducted primarily in English, with Japanese support as required. Remote interviews or online assessments are possible for families not in Japan, though some year levels may require an in-person visit.
Admissions timing and ongoing enrollment: Applications are accepted throughout the school year via the online platform, and early applications are advised to secure a place given high demand for IB provision.
Location and contact: Malvern College Tokyo is located at 3‑2‑1 Josuiminamicho, Kodaira, Tokyo 187‑0021.
Admissions
1. Inquiry: Begin by reaching out with questions about Shinagawa International School (SIS) and its IB-aligned programmes. You can ask about facilities, the IB frameworks (PYP, MYP, DP), and the learning approach to determine fit for your child. The admissions team can provide guidance on requirements and next steps, and there is no obligation to proceed after an inquiry. 2. School Visit (highly recommended but not mandatory): Arrange a visit through the admissions page or the School Visit Reservation form to see classrooms, talk with staff, and observe the campus culture. A visit helps families understand daily routines, student life, and how SIS supports multilingual and international students. This step is not mandatory for applicants, but it is strongly encouraged for a comprehensive understanding of the environment. 3. Application Submission: Complete the application form and submit it along with the required application fee. Prepare any documents requested during the application process for a smooth review. This step is essential to move forward in the admissions process. 4. Interview – Assessment: After submitting the application, applicants undergo an interview and assessment. For students in Grade 1 and above, MAP Tests assess English, reading, and math levels as part of the evaluation. The admissions team will review the results after the interview and assessment. 5. Admission Decision and Acceptance: Admission decisions are communicated within a few weeks of the assessment. Accepted applicants receive an acceptance letter and enrollment instructions, including next steps for fee payments. 6. Enrolment: Parents complete the enrollment form and arrange the necessary school fee payments to finalize enrollment. Enrollment communications and invoices are issued to successful applicants when an acceptance is granted.

How to apply: All candidates must submit a scholarship application and a personal statement outlining academic, personal and cocurricular strengths, as well as supporting documents (including passport copy, school reports, and recommendation forms). Short-listed candidates may be required to undergo additional assessments or auditions as part of the scholarship selection process. External candidates' scholarship applications are processed alongside their regular admissions application.
Bursaries: Bursaries are available for families requiring financial assistance, including expatriate families relocating to Tokyo; bursary applications are open to pupils across year groups from Prep 1 onwards. For bursary information, contact the Admissions Team.
Sibling discount: A 5% sibling discount is offered to the second enrolled child and 10% to the third (or more) for Pre-Prep fees; this discount applies only to Pre-Prep fees and ends when the pupil moves to Prep 1.
Contact for scholarships: For enquiries about scholarships or bursaries, email the Admissions Team.

Waitlist
There is no published waitlist or pool system described in SIS admissions materials. Applications are accepted year-round with no fixed deadline.
