Fee Breakdown

Fees

Application / Enrollment fees

- One-time enrollment/registration fee (non‑recurring): JPY 175,000 (one‑off).

Tuition fees — annual amounts by stage (for the current published academic pricing)

- Nursery (ages ~1–3): JPY 1,440,000 per year.

- Kindergarten / Early Years (ages ~3–6): JPY 1,200,000 per year.

- Elementary (ages ~6–11): JPY 1,200,000 per year (per pupil for the standard elementary programme).

- Middle school (ages ~11–15): published figures show a lower fee band for some middle‑school grades (examples of published figures include JPY 650,000 per year for certain middle‑school year groups; families should expect variation by grade and programme).

Term / instalment detail and billing schedule

- The school operates an academic calendar with multiple terms and invoices tuition on an annual basis with instalment/term payment options reflected in the school's fee schedule. Extracurricular and short‑term programmes are explicitly billed termly (Fall, Winter, Spring & Summer) and are payable before each term.

Payment terms

- Payable in Japanese yen (JPY).
- The school accepts online card payments. All tuition payments processed online include a Stripe processing commission of 3.6%; accepted card types listed include MasterCard and Visa.

Boarding / residential fees

- There is currently no operational boarding programme. Boarding is listed as a future project in the school's development plans; therefore no boarding fees are applicable at present.

Other costs and optional charges

- School bus (transport): routes are run year‑round and charges are distance‑based and billed according to actual use. Families may also charter a dedicated bus for the year; a published charter example shows a contractual cost level quoted at JPY 800,000 per month to be shared between families when a whole‑bus charter is arranged. Regular per‑family bus rates are proportional to distance and usage.

- Cafeteria / lunch: hot meals from the school's catering provider are available at a published price of JPY 600 per menu; families may alternatively provide a packed lunch.

- Extracurricular activities, holiday‑school and after‑school clubs: these are charged termly; trial sessions are sometimes offered at a reduced price and some activity fees are invoiced separately from core tuition. Extracurricular lessons specify that missed lessons are generally not refundable, though catch‑up lessons may be offered in some cases; lessons beginning during a term are invoiced pro rata.

- School supplies / uniform: the school publishes a regulations and school‑supplies list for each age group (nursery, kindergarten, elementary and middle school); specific supply and uniform costs are presented in the school's regulations/supplies document and are treated as separate, one‑off back‑to‑school expenses. (School supplies/uniform costs are set out in the school's published regulations and supplies materials.)

Refund information

- For extracurricular activities and short‑term courses: no refunds for missed single sessions; catch‑up lessons may be offered at the discretion of the activity leader; pro‑rata invoicing applies for lessons that start during a term.

- For admissions/tuition: the published documents referenced by the school set out the school's financial regulations (registration, annual contract terms, and related conditions). Families should expect standard non‑refundable elements such as one‑off registration/enrolment fees and specific terms for cancellations or withdrawals to be detailed in those regulations.

Fee reductions, caps and sibling / staff concessions

- The school operates the “CAP EIFJ” programme which provides a tuition cap mechanism that limits increases for continuing families after an initial period; the CAP EIFJ applies to tuition only and does not cover optional fees (transport, meals, extracurricular activities). Published materials also note waivers or reductions: base tuition is waived for full‑time school personnel (staff children). There are also referral/credit schemes and third‑party partnerships (for example, CCIFJ membership discounts).

Accepted payment methods and online payments

- Online card payments via Stripe (MasterCard & Visa) are accepted; all online tuition payments include a 3.6% Stripe processing fee. The school's online payment portal is used for card payments. No other payment methods (for example, direct bank transfer) are explicitly listed on the school's online payment page.

Notes for budgeting

- Annual tuition figures published for this school vary by stage; examples above represent the published amounts available through the school's published fee materials and independent school directories. Optional services (transport, cafeteria, extracurricular clubs, holiday care, materials/uniform) are additional and invoiced separately.
