Per-term / installment information (billing cadence)

- Tuition and fees are billed on an annual basis for the September 2025 to June 2026 school year; families are required to pay tuition and fees prior to or at the beginning of each school year. An installment plan is available in some cases.

- The school offers payment in two installments with a handling charge of JPY 35,000. Assuming an equal two-part split of the published annual total and allocation of half the handling charge to each installment (this is an inferred arithmetic split for illustration only), the approximate two-installment amounts would be:
- Kindergarten (K4 & K5): ~JPY 1,317,500 per installment (JPY 1,300,000 + JPY 17,500). (inferred)
- Grade 1–5: ~JPY 1,467,500 per installment (JPY 1,450,000 + JPY 17,500). (inferred)
- Grade 6–8: ~JPY 1,517,500 per installment (JPY 1,500,000 + JPY 17,500). (inferred)
- Grade 9–12: ~JPY 1,567,500 per installment (JPY 1,550,000 + JPY 17,500). (inferred)

Note: the JPY 35,000 handling charge is published; the exact installment schedule and how the handling charge is applied are not itemized on the public fee list and are shown above as an assumed equal split for clarity.
