Affordable International Schools in Tokyo, Japan

Affordable international schools in Tokyo are typically smaller, community or mission-led schools and a handful of private schools that aim to keep fees lower than the large, long-established international flagships. Many teach in English and follow curricula such as the International Baccalaureate, Cambridge (IGCSE/A-Level) or national curricula from other countries, while Japanese is commonly taught as a second language and a small number of schools run bilingual Japanese - English programmes. Fees for the lower-cost cohort commonly sit in the roughly ¥500,000 - ¥1.5 million per year range, with mainstream international schools charging substantially more; expect additional costs for buses, meals, uniforms and activities. Admissions calendars vary - some schools follow an international August/September intake while others align with Japan’s April year, and many smaller schools operate rolling admissions with early screening for kindergarten places - so check each school’s published schedule and eligibility rules before relocating.
