Fee Breakdown

Fees

Application Fee
- Application fee: ¥25,000. Single payment at the time of enrollment.

Entrance Fee (one-time)
- Entrance fee: ¥300,000. Single payment at the time of enrollment.

Facilities Fee
- Facilities fee: ¥200,000 per year (annual).

Tuition (all grade levels: Grades 1–12)
- Annual tuition: ¥1,200,000. This same annual tuition applies across all grade levels. Installment options are available (by year, by term, or by month).
- Per-term tuition (calculated): the school year is divided into three trimesters (Spring: April–July; Fall: September–December; Winter: January–March). Dividing the annual tuition by three yields ¥400,000 per trimester (this per-term amount is a calculation based on the published annual tuition and the school's trimester calendar).

First-year total (example, one-time + annual fees)
- First-year total on initial enrolment (application + entrance + first-year facilities + annual tuition): ¥25,000 + ¥300,000 + ¥200,000 + ¥1,200,000 = ¥1,725,000.

Tuition discounts and adjustments
- English / bilingual ability discount: Tier A reduces the annual tuition by ¥200,000 for students with native English ability. Tier B provides an additional ¥50,000 deduction if the student is fluent in Japanese. These deductions apply to the annual tuition amount. For example, a student meeting both Tier A and Tier B criteria would have the annual tuition reduced by ¥250,000 (¥1,200,000 − ¥250,000 = ¥950,000).

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Application and entrance fees: payable as single payments at the time of enrollment. Facilities fee: charged annually. Annual tuition: payable in a single annual payment or by installments. Installment options: by year, by term, or by month. Annual payment of tuition is available only for Spring entrants; Fall and Winter entrants must use by-term or by-month payment options until the start of the next academic year. Monthly instalment amounts depend on the term length and enrollment timing.

Boarding fees
- No boarding provision or boarding fees are listed for the school. The school describes a two-story campus and outdoor sports facilities but does not list boarding services or related charges.

Other costs and optional fees
- Miscellaneous / optional costs that may be charged separately: summer and winter programmes (optional), clubs (optional), school supplies, and similar items. These are listed as additional miscellaneous fees. Specific uniform charges are not listed.

Refund information
- Application fee and entrance fee are non-refundable. No further detailed refund policy for tuition, facilities, or other fees is provided on the published fee information.

Fee payment options
- All fees must be paid by bank transfer. Installment schedules (year/term/month) are offered for tuition. No credit-card payment option is listed.

Notes and practical points
- All amounts above are denominated in Japanese yen (¥). The school states that miscellaneous fees and all listed fees are subject to change. Financial aid and sibling discounts may be available on a case-by-case basis; these require separate application/assessment.
