Stages
The school is organized into three divisions: Elementary School (Grades 1–5), Middle School (Grades 6–8), and High School (Grades 9–12). An Early Learning and Activities Center (ELAC) supports early years, with the ELAC library space on campus.

Pupil Nationality Mix
The student body includes more than 40 nationalities. The largest group comes from North America, with representation from East Asia and Japan as host country; languages spoken exceed 15. Historically, local Japanese students have comprised about a quarter of the community, with international students making up about three-quarters of the student body.

Parent Experience

History
Canadian Academy opened on September 13, 1913 as Canadian Methodist Academy with 13 students. It was renamed Canadian Academy in 1917. The school purchased land on Nagamine Heights and opened Gloucester Hall, a boarding dormitory, in 1929, inaugurating a long-running boarding program. The campus moved to Rokko Island in 1990 after outgrowing Nagamine Heights, and the school endured a WWII closure from 1942 to 1952. Canadian Academy became an IB World School with the Diploma Programme in 1980 and added the Primary Years Programme and Middle Years Programme in 2011; the centennial was celebrated in 2013.

Community
With over 40 nationalities represented, Canadian Academy maintains a diverse learning community that includes families and alumni who remain actively connected to campus life. The CA Community emphasizes diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice, focusing on creating a safe, welcoming environment and involving all community members.

The school fosters a sense of belonging through a network of families and alumni who participate in events and campus life.

Parent Teacher Association (PTA)
The PTA has been part of the Canadian Academy community since 1920. It helps foster community spirit and creates social and fundraising opportunities, and it facilitates dialogue among parents, faculty, and students. PTA meetings are open to all CA families and faculty and are generally held on rotating days in the morning each month. The PTA contributes to the school through the Artist in Residence program, hosting the International Food Fair, the ES Fall Fest, the Booster Club, the Parent Partner organization, lasting gifts, and the Outstanding Graduate award. The PTA Executive Board for 2025-2026 includes President Maiko Gardiner-Elko and Vice President Becky Giles. Volunteer opportunities are available through the PTA volunteer form.

Admissions

Admissions
1. Online Application: Families may submit an application up to one year in advance of enrollment. The family creates an online account and can return to the application at any time; one application is required per child. Required supporting documents become available during the online process, and the act of submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance. After submission, the Admissions Committee reviews the application to assess fit relative to grade-level availability.

2. Supporting Documents: During the online process, submit the child's school records/transcripts for the past three years (where possible), standardised test results if available (e.g., ITBS, MAPs, PSAT, TOEFL), and any relevant testing/assessments or evaluations (IQ tests, psycho-educational, occupational, or speech therapy, socio-emotional evaluations). Include a copy of the child's passport and a clear digital photo (color, at least 400x600 pixels). These documents help the school understand the student's learning needs and profile.

3. School Reference: The Admissions process requires confidential recommendations: one for elementary applicants (PreK-3 through Grade 5) and two for secondary applicants (Grade 6-12). Provide the email addresses of the child's current teachers/principal/counselor so the school can request these recommendations. A confidential recommendations form becomes available during the online application process.

4. Application Fee: The application fee is ¥90,000 per application and is paid online to cover administrative costs. After payment, the child's application and supporting documents are reviewed by the Admissions Committee. The fee is non-refundable. If the applicant is placed in the waiting pool, the application remains active for two academic years (the year of application and the start of the following academic year), with potential requests for updated documentation.

5. Admissions Interview: Following the receipt of the application, documents, and fee, and subject to seat availability, the Admissions Committee reviews the submission to determine fit. An interview is scheduled that includes a spoken component with the child and an opportunity for questions. Depending on age and criteria, there may be mathematics, reading, and writing assessments, and non-native English speakers are evaluated for English as an Additional Language (EAL) support. Face-to-face interviews are preferred, but online interviews can be arranged for applicants outside the Kansai area; a second interview may occur for additional information.

6. Acceptance of Offer: After the interview, the Admissions Committee makes a recommendation to the Head of School, who makes all admissions decisions. Families applying for the current school year are typically notified of the decision by email and in writing within about one week of the interview. If accepted, families have one week to sign and return the Acceptance of Offer, and the Registration Fee is due one month after notification. If the required documents or fees are not submitted, the seat may be offered to other applicants.

Fees overview (context for admissions): The 2025-26 fee schedule includes an Application Fee of ¥90,000, a one-time Registration Fee of ¥400,000, a one-time Capital Contribution Fee of ¥600,000, and a Building & Development Fee of ¥300,000. Tuition by level ranges from ¥2,000,000 (Pre-K / Kindergarten A) to ¥3,210,000 (Grade 12), with a Boarding Fee of ¥3,200,000. These fees are reviewed annually and are subject to modest annual increases.

Scholarships
Canadian Academy does not publish any scholarship offerings on its official admissions/tuition pages, and there is no CA-listed scholarship program described in the admissions FAQs. Families interested in financial support should consider external avenues, such as government programs or other external scholarships, rather than CA-provided awards. The school does offer corporate partnership arrangements (Corporate Contribution Plan) that can affect financing for eligible families, but these are not scholarships awarded to students.

Waitlist
Yes. Canadian Academy maintains a waiting pool when spaces are not available in a given grade. To enter the waiting pool, applicants must complete the entire application process. For the current 2025-26 timeline, spaces are limited; applications for grades without availability will be considered for the start of the 2026-27 school year. When a seat becomes available, all applicants in the waiting pool are reviewed, and selections are made from the pool. Updated documentation may be requested over time. Applicants are typically notified of admissions decisions within a short window after the interview, and the pool remains active through the relevant academic years.
