International Schools in Nagoya, Japan

Nagoya’s international schools form a relatively small network of mainly English-medium day schools that serve expatriate and returnee families as well as some Japanese students. Several schools in the city deliver International Baccalaureate programmes - one offers the full PYP - MYP - DP continuum - while others follow American, British or mixed curricula and a few combine international programmes with Japan’s national pathway. Annual tuition and mandatory fees vary by age and school but commonly run into the low millions of yen per year for primary and secondary places, with early-years places usually cheaper and some schools charging entrance or capital fees. Admissions most often follow the Japanese school year (April start) and include assessments, interviews and waiting lists at popular grades, so relocating families should start enquiries several months before arrival and check each school’s entry points, transport and language-support provisions.
