Kunimoto Alberta International School

1. Decide on the KAIS Alberta International School program and your child's grade. KAIS is a six‑year, all‑girls program located in Tokyo that begins at Grade 7 and combines the Alberta curriculum with the Japanese local curriculum, offering a Double Diploma pathway in high school. The Alberta component is integrated within Kunimoto Gakuen, and KAIS students typically pursue both the Alberta and Japanese diplomas on graduation. 2. Prepare and submit the online Application Form. Interested families apply by completing the Application Form through the KAIS admissions portal, selecting either the junior/senior high track or the KAIS track integrated with the Alberta program. The form collects basic student information and program preferences. 3. Pay the non‑refundable Application Fee and gather required documents. The non‑refundable Application Fee is ¥25,000; the admissions materials indicate there is a defined list of supporting documents to prepare, which is outlined on the Admission Form. 4. Participate in an admission interview and take the admission test. All applicants must attend an admission interview and complete an admission test; further details about the test and required components are provided in the Admission Form. 5. Wait for the test results and admission decision. Parents will be notified of the test results and whether admission is granted, with next steps provided if admission is offered. 6. Complete enrollment and pay the required fees. If admitted, families finalize enrollment by paying the relevant one‑time fees (such as Application Fee, Registration Fee, Facility Fee, School Uniform, Tablet, and Overseas English Training Fee where applicable) and the annual fees (Tuition, Maintenance Fee, PTA Fee, Students Council Fee, Books and Course Supplies). The 2024/2025 fee schedule shows both Grade 7–9 and Grade 10–12 structures and notes that overseas training fees may be paid in installments and are subject to currency and policy changes.

KAIS does not publish a waitlist policy on official admissions materials, and public listings indicate there is no waiting list for KAIS. There is no published waitlist process or pool system beyond standard admission notifications.

KAIS offers scholarships and merit-based awards. The school provides a structured scholarship system with tiered options for middle school and a separate high school framework, plus a Kanagawa resident tuition subsidy and an annual financial‑assistance option for economically challenged students. Middle School scholarships (S1–S3) are awarded based on percentiles or test scores and result in exemptions from the enrollment procedure fee (320,000 yen) and partial or full tuition waivers: S1 (85%+): enrollment procedure fee exempt and 480,000 yen per year tuition waived for 3 years; S2 (75%+): enrollment procedure fee exempt and 480,000 yen per year tuition waived for 1 year; S3 (65%+): enrollment procedure fee exempt only. High School scholarships (for the Double Diploma course) are based on entrance results or internal grades; the scholarship covers Japanese tuition (480,000 yen) but not the Canadian tuition (600,000 yen). Scholarships are reviewed annually based on grades and attendance, and new recipients are determined each year. In addition, there is a Kanagawa Prefecture tuition subsidy for eligible Kanagawa residents, and an economic‑hardship tuition reduction program. Details and application steps are published on the KAIS scholarship page and are subject to annual policy revisions.
