Billing schedule and payment terms

- Regular tuition and most recurring charges are collected by automated bank direct debit from the family's bank account (口座からの自動引き落とし). The scheduled withdrawal is the 28th of the preceding month (if the 28th falls on a weekend/holiday, the next business day is used). For a student starting in the month of admission, the first month's fee is required by bank transfer.

- Monthly billing cadence: most campuses list tuition as due monthly ("授業料(月払い)"), billed in advance or collected at the end of the prior month depending on campus wording; some campuses offer an annual payment option with a due date at the end of March of the prior fiscal year. ¥165 per month is shown as a振替手数料 (bank transfer handling fee) where automatic debit is used.

- Specific charge timing examples: monthly tuition and most monthly extras are debited at the end of the previous month; equipment / system maintenance fees are charged annually (commonly around March of the prior year); bus fees are charged monthly and listed separately.

Boarding

- ISN operates preschools, elementary and middle school day programmes across multiple campuses and does not list boarding or residential programmes on its campus programme pages; boarding is not applicable for ISN preschools, elementary or the listed middle school programmes.

Other costs and typical one‑off charges

- Equipment / system maintenance fee: ¥125,000 per year (charged from the second year for some preschool places; shown as an annual設備維持費/設備費 for elementary/middle). This fee is charged annually and is non‑refundable after payment.

- Uniform and initial clothing costs: examples shown by campus include a uniform purchase on admission (middle school approx. ¥40,000) and individual items such as polo shirts (from ¥3,800–¥4,000), trainers/jumpers (¥5,500–¥6,000) and hats (¥1,600–¥3,000). Chromebook and recorder requirements are noted on some campus pages; families are asked to enquire for current pricing or to use an existing family device if available.

- Meals: monthly lunch fees vary by campus (examples: ¥5,500/month at one elementary campus; ¥10,200/month at other campus listings for elementary/preschool). Allergies or bringing a packed lunch may incur a separate lunch‑management fee in some cases.

- Bus / transport: route and distance based; examples on campus pages: ¥9,000–¥10,000 per month. Exact route pricing is provided on the campus bus fee annex or on request to the campus office.

Refunds and cancellation terms

- Registration / enrolment fees and the annual equipment / facilities maintenance fees are stated as non‑refundable once paid (入学登録料・設備維持費等は納入後、返金不可 または 入学取消への返金は致しかねます、と明記されています).

- Other items (for example: event fees, certain seasonal charges, bus fees) are charged as described by each campus and the published notes state that fees are subject to change; specific cancellation/refund terms for those items are addressed in the campus admission or events guidance. Where a campus lists a non‑refund policy for a fee, that fee is retained if enrolment is cancelled after payment.

Accepted payment methods and practical payment notes

- Primary collected method: automated bank account direct debit (口座引落し) for monthly tuition and many recurring charges; the school instructs families to set up automatic debits and cites the monthly debit schedule. Initial month of attendance is expected to be paid by bank transfer when auto‑debit is not yet in place. ¥165/month is shown as a standard振替手数料 where automatic debit is used. No campus page lists credit card payment as a standard tuition method; families should use bank transfer/direct debit as the published primary payment channels and confirm any alternative payment arrangements directly with the campus office.

Notes on variability and campus differences

- ISN operates multiple campuses (preschool and elementary/middle campuses) and some fee items vary by campus (for example: lunch fees, bus routes/fees, certain uniform item pricing and initial registration categories). The figures above are the published campus examples for the 2025–2026 (and where noted 2026–2027) fee listings; confirm the specific campus fee schedule when calculating final cost for a particular campus and programme.
