Kobe’s international schools are a mixed group: you will find English-medium day and boarding schools, bilingual Japanese - English IB programmes and a small number of European-language (notably German) schools that operate alongside the city’s Japanese schools and language centres. Common curricula in the city include the International Baccalaureate at various levels, British/IGCSE-style pathways at some campuses, and school-specific national programmes; Japanese language lessons are normally part of the offer even where English is the main teaching language. Tuition varies substantially by school and by grade - published school fees in Kobe range from roughly around ¥1.7 million a year at some European-language schools to the high two millions for newer British-style international branches - and families should expect separate application and enrolment deposits, meals and bus or boarding costs. Admissions are a mix of rolling applications and main intakes set by each school’s calendar, so begin enquiries well before your move and check what provision a school has for Japanese-language and newcomer support.
