All enrolment payments indicated (including the admission fee) are described as payable by the stated due dates and are non‑refundable for the admission fee.
- Installment structure: tuition and the educational enrichment fee are billed in four installments (per term). The documents do not list exact calendar dates for each installment payment; the school collects these amounts across four terms per the stated installment plan. Installment amounts above are approximate calculations based on the annual figures and the school's four‑installment instruction.

Boarding / Dormitory

Other notes relevant to fees
- The school indicates it qualifies for the Japanese national High School Tuition Support Fund System (MEXT) under certain residency and application conditions; where eligibility and certification apply, tuition reduction or exemption rules under that system may affect the net tuition amount for qualifying families.

The figures above are presented as the school lists them (with simple per‑installment arithmetic where the school specifies the number of installments).
