Billing schedule and payment terms
- First (initial) payment at admission: initial amounts (entrance fee, required donation, building surcharge and the prepayment for tuition depending on admission month) must be paid by bank transfer before or at admission. Subsequent tuition payments are collected by bank automatic debit (GIRO) in lump sums.
- Regular automatic debit (GIRO) collection months: the school's schedule lists automatic deductions in the months of April, July, October and January; tuition is collected as multi-month lump sums (three-month blocks for standard billing), with the initial payment varying by admission month. The school does not calculate tuition on a per‑day basis.
- Accepted payment methods noted in the fee documents: bank transfer for initial payments and GIRO (Singapore interbank automatic debit) for ongoing tuition and bus payments. The school's bus arrangements also specify initial payment by bank transfer and then GIRO for recurring bus charges. No credit-card billing for regular tuition is indicated in the published fee instructions.

Boarding
- Boarding is not applicable; the school operates as day campuses (Clementi and Changi for primary; West Coast for secondary) and does not provide boarding facilities.

Other regular or occasional costs
- School bus (optional):
- One‑off joining fee (per family): SGD 10.90.
- Bus co‑operative refundable contribution / deposit (per family): SGD 100.00 (refundable on withdrawal according to the bus cooperative rules).
- Monthly bus charge (per student): SGD 305.20. Initial total due at joining depends on admission month and number of children; examples of first-payment totals are published in the bus guidance. Payments are handled by bank transfer for first payment, then by GIRO for subsequent months.
- Uniforms / PE kit: the school lists an authorised supplier for purchase of gym/PE uniform and school clothing; families pay direct to the supplier for items such as PE kit. Specific item prices are set by the supplier and are not part of the regular tuition billing.
- Textbooks: eligible Japanese-citizen primary and secondary students receive Japanese school textbooks free through the national overseas-textbook distribution system; families who are not eligible or who need additional/extra copies may have to obtain them separately.
- Lunch / bento ordering and other consumables: school lunch ordering systems are available and charged separately per order; costs for meals and incidental consumables (project materials, school trips, optional club activities, uniforms beyond standard issue) vary by provider or event. The school's parent information pages set out how to order and the mechanics of payment.

Refunds and withdrawal-related billing
- Tuition and bus refunds are handled on a monthly basis; the school does not perform daily pro‑rata refunds (one day of attendance still requires payment for the whole month). Where GIRO withdrawal/return is necessary, the school provides forms and processes refunds through bank transfer as required.
- Bus cooperative deposit (the S$100 contribution) is refundable at withdrawal following the cooperative's procedures.
- Re‑enrolment within a specified period (the school's published rules set out a 12‑month re‑entry window) can affect whether entrance fee and building-surcharge one‑time charges are waived on return; the applicable conditions are set out in the school's re‑entry / withdrawal rules.

Notes on amounts and presentation
- All monetary figures above are presented in Singapore dollars (SGD) and reflect the published fee schedule amounts and example billing totals as given in the school's admission/fee documents and parent guidance. The documents also show GST-inclusive values where applicable and detail the precise amounts to be collected at admission depending on the month of entry.
