Billing schedule and payment terms (how and when fees are billed and paid)

- One-time enrollment charges (entrance fee, facility-use fee, one-time uniforms/tablet purchases and other one-time startup charges) are payable at the time of the admission procedure and must be paid by the deadline specified in the successful-candidate instructions. Payment channels for entry / exam payments include credit card, convenience-store payment and Pay-easy (ATM / internet banking) via the web payment flow. Payment processing fees (service fees) are passed to the payer. Overseas training fees are commonly collected in multiple instalments (the school states overseas training fees will be split into five payments).
- Recurring annual fees (tuition, facility maintenance, PTA, student-council fees, materials) are listed as yearly amounts; the school presents these as the standard annual billing amounts. Specific intra-year billing cycles (for example, whether tuition is invoiced by semester or by month) are handled through the school's finance office and by the enrolment documentation supplied to accepted families; overseas training fees are split across multiple payments as noted above. The school's admissions and enrolment materials require adherence to stated payment deadlines for each entry round.

Boarding / dormitory fees

- Boarding / dormitory is not listed as a standard, published fee for KAIS or the junior/senior high structures; the school's admissions guidance states that, in principle, students commute from the parent/guardian home (requests to attend from a relative's home or from a dormitory require prior consultation). There is no standard dormitory fee schedule published.

Other costs and typical ancillary fees

- Uniforms, bag, shoes, P.E. kit and related one-time uniform purchases: listed approximations appear (typical uniform package values appear in admission materials; e.g., uniform approx. JPY 110,000 in KAIS fee lists and uniform / supplies estimates for middle/high entries).
- Tablets / ICT device purchase: one-time tablet charge JPY 130,000 (listed for both Grade 7–9 and Grade 10–12 in the KAIS fee schedule).
- Overseas language / study-tour fees: Grade-specific amounts shown in program materials: Grade 8 overseas English training JPY 800,000 (Grade 7–9 schedule) and Grade 11 overseas English training JPY 1,100,000 (Grade 10–12 schedule). These overseas training fees are collected in multiple installments. The school also lists larger overseas training items for middle/high (e.g., an overseas training item for 中学3年 is shown in middle-school materials). These overseas training fees can vary with exchange rates and program costs.
- Materials / 教育充実費 (textbooks, tablet communications, domestic language training, other curriculum enhancement items): the school lists education-enhancement / materials charges by year (examples include initial-year tablet purchase and communications expenses and recurring materials charges). For middle/high students the initial-year education-enhancement charge and subsequent-year smaller recurring amounts are shown in the admission materials.
- For kindergarten: one-time 入園金 and a named “施設費 (initial-year)” and monthly保育料 and monthly items (material, health/hygiene, utilities). Specific kindergarten cost examples: application/exam fee JPY 6,000; 入園金 (3-year-old cohort) JPY 130,000; 入園金 (5-year-old cohort) JPY 120,000; first-year facility fee JPY 50,000; monthly保育料 JPY 30,000; monthly教材費 JPY 2,500; monthly衛生費 JPY 1,500; monthly光熱費 JPY 3,000; bus-cost JPY 4,500/month; lunch (on listed days) JPY 550/meal.

Refund policy (application, exam and entrance payments)

- Application and exam payments are not refundable after submission in the school's published admissions notes. Entrance/entry payments and submitted documents are described in the admissions documents as not refundable once paid/submitted. Families should follow the school's published payment deadlines closely because the school's admission materials state that payments already made are not returned.

Fee payment options and payment notes

- The school uses a web-based payment flow for application and entrance payments (mirai-compass and related payment sites) and accepts credit card, convenience-store payments and Pay-easy (ATM / online banking) for the listed application/entrance payments; transaction/handling fees are charged to the payer. Overseas training fees and certain other fees are collected in multiple instalments as noted in program materials. For recurring tuition billing the school issues enrolment and billing instructions to accepted families and specifies due dates/terms in the admission documents.

Important operational notes (how fees appear in published materials)

- The KAIS fee pages and the school admission documents present one-time, annual and program-specific charges separately: one-time enrollment charges (entrance fee / facility usage / devices / uniform), annual recurring charges (tuition, facility maintenance, PTA, student-council, materials), and program-specific large items (overseas-study / language training). Overseas-study fees are collected in multiple instalments and may be adjusted according to exchange rates or program changes. Some scholarship / special-award arrangements apply to Japan-side tuition only and may explicitly exclude the Canadian-side tuition component of the DD program.
