International Curriculum International Schools in Japan

International-curriculum international schools in Japan are distinguished by offering overseas curricula - commonly the International Baccalaureate alongside British and American programmes - while teaching primarily in English and often providing daily Japanese lessons or dual-language tracks. Fees vary widely by city and age, but the typical annual tuition across Japan sits around ¥1,931,000, with most schools charging roughly between ¥1,372,500 and ¥2,945,500; top Tokyo schools commonly charge more once facilities and entry-year fees are included. Admissions follow two common rhythms: many international schools use an August (international-style) intake while a smaller group follows the Japanese April intake, so families are generally advised to start applications 9 - 12 months before the desired start date. Practical considerations for relocating families include checking a school’s language support and accreditation, preparing for entrance assessments and interviews, and allowing extra time for residency paperwork and waiting lists.
