Japanische Internationale Schule München

New enrollment and transfer procedures: If you wish to enroll or transfer to Munich Japanese International School, please read the notes below and contact us by email or phone first. Then apply via the New Enrollment and Transfer Application link.

New enrollment: Required documents: proof of measles vaccination (two doses) from the health booklet or vaccination booklet; enrollment guidance from the local German health office (if such guidance has been issued); if you have received notice of a pre-enrollment health examination from the German health office, please undergo the examination and submit the certificate.

Transfer enrollment: From Japan: obtain a textbook issuance certificate from the current school and receive new textbooks from the Overseas Children Education Promotion Foundation; if you have documents from the current school, bring them unopened.
From outside Japan: if you are attending a Japanese school or supplementary school abroad, textbooks are generally the same; around the time of the new academic year or lower-volume textbook distribution for elementary grades, obtain them at your place of residence prior to moving.

All guardians of transfer applicants are asked to respond.

Note: The school teaches in Japanese based on the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology guidelines; German instruction is not provided.

A February information session is held; for other admission times, individual explanations will be provided.

For transfer applicants from local or international schools, an interview will be conducted. For students requiring special accommodations, the Admissions Support Committee will consider whether safety and learning guarantees can be provided. If there is false information, enrollment may be canceled. If necessary, the school may contact the previous school or related agencies with parental consent. For students with physical disabilities where independent participation in school life is not feasible, admission may not be possible.

Enrollment procedures: If you are applying for enrollment, please contact us in advance and follow the notes in the Special Accommodations section as applicable.

Special accommodations notes: If the student has previously used language support, therapy centers, or similar services, or if there were prior individualized supports at the previous school, please specify details in the notes.

Enrollment for students with special needs: The school may require documents such as a diagnosis letter from a medical institution in Japan; or an expert opinion (Gutachten) with the original and an official translation; copies of disability certificates (Schwerbehindertenausweis); and other relevant materials from the previous school.

Enrollment fees: Tuition 460 EUR per month; Enrollment fee 50 EUR (per enrollment); Membership fee 0 EUR; Annual fee 0 EUR. If the family's income for the previous year is 80,000 EUR or less (pre-tax, worldwide), tuition reductions apply according to the reduction table. If an employer provides child education allowances, the reductions do not apply.

Trial enrollment: For those wishing to experience enrollment, the aim is to allow Munich-area Japanese children to experience life at a school and facilitate transitions to Japanese schools upon return. Period: generally up to two weeks. Procedure: Submit the Trial Enrollment Application below; with principal's approval to participate. A per-student activity fee of 150 EUR applies regardless of the number of days. During the trial, certain activities may be restricted; school insurance may not cover injuries; materials used may not be provided; no progress reports or notices will be sent home. If admission during the trial would significantly disrupt ongoing school activities, the principal may terminate the trial even during the period, and the 150 EUR activity fee is non-refundable. School bus usage is not available.

Trial enrollment forms and further details are available via the Trial Enrollment Application link.

Tuition reductions are available for families with last year's income of 80,000 EUR or less (pre-tax, worldwide). Reductions are applied according to the school's discount schedule. If the family receives an employer-provided child education allowance, the reduction does not apply.
