Billing schedule and payment terms
- Tuition is billed on an annual basis but the school's published fee schedule shows tuition payable in three instalments per academic year (three terms) with the term splits shown above. Payments are due by term according to the school's term calendar.
- For withdrawal, the published rule is that parents must provide not less than one complete term's written notice prior to withdrawal; if no such notice is given, one complete term's fees are payable in lieu of notice. Consecutive late payments may incur penalties under the school's published payment terms.
Boarding fees
- Boarding is not part of the school's published programme; the school operates as a day school and no boarding fee schedule is published. No boarding charges are listed in the school fee summaries.
Other costs and recurring fees
- Capital/campus development or building development charge (one‑time at entry) is published as a separate one‑time payment (see one‑time fees above).
- Additional program or capital assessment fees are published in some public fee summaries as an annual extra for certain cohorts; this may be described as a capital assessment or development fee in the fee breakdowns.
- Extra‑curricular activities, school trips, examination fees (for external examinations such as IGCSE) and special programme charges are additional to the published tuition in the same way they are at comparable international schools; some published notes show itemised charges for optional trips and per‑subject examination charges where applicable.
- Academic support / developmental tuition: published summaries note that new students needing extra academic development may be charged additional monthly academic support fees in the range JPY 10,000–JPY 35,000 depending on need and programme.
- Uniforms, textbooks, school lunch and personal stationery are typically charged separately at international schools in Tokyo; no fixed uniform tariff is published in the school's public fee summaries that list tuition and one‑time admission charges. Expect separate one‑off uniform and textbook charges at enrolment.
Refund information
- The published refund policy in public fee summaries states: no refund of tuition fees, in part or in whole, for a term will be granted except in the specific case where a student does not attend school at all during the term (complete absence) and the parents submit the required notification; appeals are possible in that circumstance. The school requires the one‑term written notice for withdrawal or payment of one term in lieu.
Fee payment options
- The school's publicly available summary fee pages and fee listings used in public directories do not include a detailed list of accepted payment methods (for example, specific bank transfer instructions or credit‑card acceptance are not published in the publicly visible fee summaries). Families should note that the publicly published fee tables do not list payment methods.
- Common practice at international schools in Tokyo is to use bank transfer for term payments and to offer other options (institutional payment portals or international payment services) where appropriate; because specific payment methods are not published in the publicly available fee summaries for this school, parents should rely on the published fee amounts and the term schedule above when planning finances.
