Costs for uniforms, textbooks and materials are charged separately and vary by provider.

The contract clauses referenced in the admission documents establish the exact terms.
Fee‑payment methods and options
- Bank transfer (electronic) and deposit in bank window are explicitly available for inscription and related payments; the school provides a bank reference for each payment. Families are required to send the bank receipt/proof of payment to the admissions email or the department indicated.
Notes on the figures presented above
- Published monthly tuition and inscription amounts above are the figures listed by current public school admission documents and by recent published school‑profile listings for the 2025–2026 / 2026–2027 admission cycle; the school's admission PDFs explicitly specify the non‑refundable exam fee and the payment methods and timelines but do not publish a full public table with every billing option or a detailed monthly payment calendar. Families should treat the listed inscription and monthly colegiatura figures as the stated amounts available in the publicly posted admission notices and third‑party school listings.
Liceo Mexicano Japonés (LMJ), located in the prestigious Jardines del Pedregal neighborhood of southern Mexico City, was established in 1977 as a symbol of friendship and cooperation between Mexico and Japan. The school offers a highly unique educational model divided into two main branches: a Mexican section that aligns with SEP and UNAM standards, and a Japanese section that follows the rigorous curriculum set by Japan's Ministry of Education. Serving students from preschool through high school, the institution provides a trilingual environment where Spanish, English, and Japanese are actively taught. The campus is celebrated for its exceptional facilities and commitment to forming globally minded citizens. A hallmark of the LMJ experience is its deep integration of Japanese culture, history, and traditions into daily life. This is most vividly demonstrated through its highly anticipated annual events—the Undokai (a traditional Japanese sports day) and the Bunkasai (a cultural festival)—which unite students, parents, and faculty. By blending intensive academic preparation with strong foundational values of honesty, respect, and order, Liceo Mexicano Japonés provides a structured, bicultural environment aimed at developing students into internationally competitive leaders.
