Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Admissions Process (Kannai Campus) - Preschool and through-school admissions follow a common sequence, with additional details depending on the division (Preschool, Elementary, Middle). The Kannai Campus hosts Open School events to introduce CGK and allow families to observe lessons with their child. Weekend Open School sessions occur on Saturdays with two time slots, and there are occasional weekday observation sessions; exact dates/times are published in the admissions materials for that year. The Kannai Campus address is 2-25-2 Minaminakadori, Naka-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa 231-0006, Japan, and the Kannai campus is accessible from nearby stations on the Minatomirai Line and JR/Yokohama subway networks.
2) Waitlist/Pool - CGK International School Kannai Campus does not publish a formal waitlist or pool system in its admissions pages. Admissions are described as a step-by-step process (Open School, Enrollment Application, Admission Screening, Acceptance and Payment, and Enrollment) with grade-specific Open School options and annual admission timelines. This indicates a direct-application flow rather than a publicly described waitlist. (Sources describe Open School events, the enrollment form process, and screening, but do not mention a waitlist.)
3) Scholarships (Discounts and Subsidies) - CGK offers several discounts rather than traditional scholarships. These include: - Sibling Discount: 20% discount on tuition for siblings enrolling in Elementary/Middle School programs (G1-5) and in Middle School; - CGK Preschool Graduate Discount: 5% discount on Afterschool tuition for students who completed CGK Preschool; - Afterschool Tuition Discount: 30% discount on Afterschool tuition in some contexts; - Other fees (EAL and Learning Support) are listed as separate fees rather than scholarships. For Preschool, there are also notes about government subsidy eligibility mentioned in the admissions materials. The discounts are reflected in the fee schedules for Elementary and Middle School and in the Afterschool section. (Citations: Elementary/Middle fee pages showing sibling discounts; Afterschool discount details; Preschool graduate discount.)
