Boarding fees

- Nishimachi does not operate a boarding facility; all students must live with at least one parent while enrolled. There are therefore no boarding fees.

Other costs and optional program fees

- The published school fee schedule is described as all-inclusive for regular school operations. Optional or extra programs are charged separately. Examples of separate-cost programs explicitly listed are After School Activities (ASA), After School Care (ASC), Summer Programs, and Kazuno camps. Specific program fees are published separately (for example, Summer Explorers and Summer School session fees are shown on the program pages and may be charged by program).
- No separate mandatory uniform fee or separate line for textbooks is listed in the published tuition and fees schedule. Other incidental or optional charges (ASA, ASC, summer programs, camps, etc.) may appear on program pages or invoices as applicable.

Refund information and withdrawal-related terms

- The application fee and the registration fee are explicitly non-refundable.
- Tuition is charged by Quarter; a student's attendance for any portion of a Quarter requires payment for the entire Quarter, which limits pro-rata refunding within a Quarter. No separate general refund schedule for tuition withdrawals is published in the school's fee materials; optional program refunds and program-specific cancellation terms are shown with those program pages where applicable.

Fee payment options and billing administration

- Application fee payment: the application materials indicate the application fee may be paid by bank transfer (evidence/receipt) or by check made payable to the school; applicants are sent payment instructions after the application is submitted.
- Program payments (for example, summer program registrations) accept credit card payment as shown on the program payment page.
- The school's admissions and parent portals are used for applications and parent billing processes; billing questions are routed through the school's billing contact channels as listed on admissions materials. Payments and invoices are presented in Japanese yen (JPY).
