Billing schedule and payment terms
- Preschool & kindergarten tuition is billed monthly according to the chosen days and schedule option. Entrance and specified annual charges are billed as noted per campus (entrance fee upon enrolment; educational service charges annually).
- For Primary and Secondary, the school states tuition is generally paid in full on an annual basis; the academic year consists of three terms. The school indicates term-by-term payment may be possible on request (parents can contact the school if they prefer to pay by term rather than in a single annual lump sum). Entrance fees are one-time on enrolment; other listed fees are paid annually.
Boarding
- No boarding programs or boarding fees are listed in the school's admissions or tuition materials; Laurus operates its campuses as day preschools, kindergarten and a day primary/secondary campus model. No boarding charges are published.
Other costs and optional items
- The school lists additional items that are payable in addition to tuition: teaching materials and textbooks, uniforms, yearbook, lunch (optional), school bus (optional where available), and other ancillary items. The tuition pages list these categories but do not publish uniform, materials, lunch or bus prices as standardised amounts — those costs are itemised or advised at enrolment or ordering. Entrance and specific annual charges are published per campus/level.
Refunds and cancellation (where published)
- A general tuition refund policy for annual tuition is not published within the tuition and admissions pages. For seasonal programs and short courses the school publishes a cancellation policy: a handling fee of JPY 1,000 applies for cancellations/changes before the registration deadline, and no refunds are issued after the registration deadline for those seasonal programs. Seasonal-program payment and cancellation details explicitly state invoices are issued and that no cash payments are accepted for those programs.
Fee payment options and invoicing
- Seasonal program pages specify payment by convenience-store payment or internet banking for those short courses; invoices are issued by email and cash is not accepted for seasonal program registrations. The school also notes that for some events or for enrolled families certain fees may be automatically deducted from a registered bank account. The tuition pages state billing frequency (monthly for preschools, annually for Primary/Secondary) but do not publish a single, detailed list of all accepted payment channels for annual tuition on the public tuition pages. Parents are directed to the school's admissions contact for tuition payment arrangements and invoicing details where needed.
