For Early Years, a parent must be at the bus stop wearing a lanyard; if a parent is not present, the child cannot disembark and will be returned to the Kiba campus with a penalty.

- Note: the figures above reflect the published annual totals used in the school's fee documents for the current academic cycle. The school's formal Fee Structure and Fee Policy documents include the detailed line‑by‑line breakdown (tuition, books, management/miscellaneous items) that make up the totals cited here.

Per‑term / instalment billing

- Tuition amounts are quoted as annual figures. The school publishes an official payment schedule that sets the exact instalment options, per‑term or monthly breakdowns and payment deadlines for the academic year; those payment schedule documents determine the per‑term instalment amounts and due dates. Parents are expected to follow the published payment schedule.

Billing schedule and payment terms (procedural points)

- Withdrawal notice: the school requires formal notice of withdrawal at least 14 days prior to the desired date of withdrawal. Transcripts/records require 14 days' notice. If fees remain unpaid at the time of withdrawal, outstanding amounts must be paid by manual bank transfer at least seven (7) days prior to the withdrawal date.
- Refunds: refund rules are set out in the school's Fee Policy documents; the Withdrawal Policy directs parents to those fee policy documents for the refund schedule and conditions.

Boarding / Residential fees

- There is no boarding or homestay program; UIA is not a boarding school, so no boarding fees apply.

Other recurring or optional costs

- Textbook / book fees: published fee summaries include book fees (examples show book fees in the range shown per grade—e.g., a book fee example for Early Years/Kindergarten is noted around JPY 20,000 in published fee breakdowns).
- Management / miscellaneous fees and activity fees: published fee documents show management/other miscellaneous charges and activity/insurance items as separate line items in the first‑year and annual breakdowns (examples include management fees and miscellaneous/activity fees).
- After‑care / After‑school program: after‑care is available for Early Years and carries an extra fee; the school publishes a separate aftercare fee policy.
- Summer school and short programs: the school offers summer‑school weeks with separate weekly fees (example published weekly fees are shown for Summer School sessions).

Refunds and adjustments

- The school's Withdrawal Policy requires the formal Notice of Withdrawal and payment of outstanding balances before documents are released. The published Withdrawal Policy refers parents to the Fee Policy for precise refund entitlement and timing. Specific refund percentages or pro‑rata calculations are set in the Fee Policy document.

Fee‑discounts and concessions

- Sibling discount: a discount is applied for multiple siblings enrolled concurrently — 10% off the tuition fee for the first (younger) sibling and 15% off for additional (younger) siblings, per the school's fee policy. Returnee waiver: in certain circumstances the registration fee (one‑time JPY 77,000) may be waived for returning students who meet the school's returnee conditions.

Payment methods and where to pay

- Application fee at assessment: the admissions process requires the application fee (JPY 11,000) to be paid in cash on the assessment day.
- General tuition and other fees: the school's accounts office administers payment arrangements and publishes the payment schedule and acceptable payment methods; parents should use the payment instructions and account details provided by the school's accounts administration (the school lists accounts@uia.jp for payment enquiries).

Summary points to note

- Annual tuition figures and one‑time enrolment fees are published in the school's formal Fee Structure and Fee Policy for the 2025–2026 academic cycle; the figures shown above reflect the published annual totals and common one‑time charges (application, registration, building/facilities).
- The school issues a formal payment schedule that sets the instalment amounts and deadlines; the Withdrawal Policy sets notice periods and requires settlement of outstanding balances prior to withdrawal.
