Tuition by year group / per-term amounts
- The published annual school fee is CHF 50,400 per student; no separate published schedule by grade level is shown. The annual fee is collected in two installments; therefore each installment equals CHF 25,200 (half of CHF 50,400).

Application and admissions payments
- Overseas application (examination) fee: JPY 30,000 (payable by telegraphic/bank transfer to the designated account when submitting application materials; net-banking transfers are also accepted).
- Enrollment (admission) deposit at time of acceptance: JPY 600,000, payable by bank transfer to the school's designated account. This enrollment deposit is not returned if the candidate later declines admission.

Boarding fees
- Boarding and meal costs are included in the annual school fee as the line item “寮費・食費” of CHF 12,800 per year (this covers full daily meals, linen, cleaning and utilities). Boarding is therefore part of the CHF 50,400 annual charge.

- No separate uniform fee is listed as a standalone item in the published fee breakdown.

Refund information
- The enrollment (admission) deposit of JPY 600,000 is non-refundable if the candidate declines admission after payment. No separate refund schedule for tuition installments is specified in the published fee information.

Fee payment options and currency
- All regular school charges are billed in Swiss francs (CHF). Payments for school fees are expected in Swiss francs; the Japanese-yen equivalent will change with exchange rates.
- Application and admission-related fees are paid by bank transfer (telegraphic transfer) to the school's designated bank account; net-banking transfers are explicitly accepted for the application fee. For international payments, parents should use bank transfer / telegraphic transfer in the required currency as instructed by the school.

The school is accredited by MEXT and recognized by Vaud cantonal authorities. Students live in dormitories for boys and girls, each overseen by a dorm parent; daily routines run 08:00–15:25 for classes, 16:00–17:45 for activities, 19:00–21:00 for study, with in‑room time 22:00–22:30.
