IB Curriculum International Schools in Nagoya, Japan

Nagoya’s international schools that follow the International Baccalaureate tend to be a compact set of English-medium and bilingual options rather than a large market, and several schools in the city are authorised to deliver IB programmes at one or more stages. Parents will commonly find the Primary Years (PYP), Middle Years (MYP) and Diploma (DP) offered across different schools, with a small number - including local full-continuum schools - offering PYP through DP on a single campus. Instruction is typically in English with substantial Japanese-language classes or bilingual tracks at some schools to help families who plan a local transition; specialist language support is routinely available for non-native English speakers. Tuition at full-continuum international schools is commonly in the low millions of yen per year, with one full-continuum school publishing 2026 - 27 tuition of about ¥2.19 million for early years rising to roughly ¥3.18 million for high school, plus one-off registration and campus fees and extra costs for transport, meals and trips. Admissions usually follow the Japanese academic year (April start) but many schools run mid-year entry, require an application fee and registration deposit, and publish grade-specific registration windows and assessment steps well before intake.
