Canadian Curriculum International Schools in Japan

Schools that follow a Canadian provincial curriculum in Japan typically deliver K - 12 programmes modelled on a specific Canadian province (commonly British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario or Prince Edward Island) and often map teacher certification and credits back to that province so students can transfer to Canadian schools. Instruction is usually in English, with Japanese language and local studies offered as required subjects and French often available as a second-language option or as part of a bilingual pathway. Fees vary widely by city and school model: in major urban areas such as greater Tokyo annual tuition for Canadian-curriculum international schools commonly sits between roughly ¥1.5 million and ¥3.0 million, though some smaller or provincial-partner schools publish lower figures and fully resourced K - 12 campuses can charge above this band; families should also budget for application, capital, materials, transport and lunch costs. Admissions are typically by application, interview and review of recent school reports, with assessments of English and sometimes mathematics; many schools operate rolling admissions but the main intake points to watch are April (Japanese school year) and the northern-hemisphere entry in August/September.
