Affordable International Schools in Tokyo, Japan

'Affordable' international schools in Tokyo are a mixed group that includes mission or community-run schools, national-curriculum schools serving specific expatriate communities, small bilingual Japanese - English schools and a number of Cambridge/IB schools that operate at lower fee points than the major premium institutions. Instruction is commonly in English (sometimes with strong Japanese immersion), and you will also find schools following CBSE (Indian), French, German or Cambridge programmes alongside IB options. Lower-fee options in the city can start in the several-hundred-thousand-yen range for younger years and commonly sit below ¥2,000,000 per year, while most larger established international schools charge above that level; fees, transport and incidental costs all matter because Tokyo housing and commuting add to the family budget. Admissions are a mix of fixed annual cycles (many schools align with the Japanese April - March year) and rolling entry or mid-year places, so start researching 6 - 18 months ahead and confirm each school’s exact timetable and language requirements before you relocate.
