Admissions

Admissions
1. Step 1: Review Procedures & Policies and determine fit. Start by examining the published Procedures & Policies to understand how admissions are handled and what the school is looking for in applicants. The school reviews each application with care, considering space availability, the applicant's English language proficiency, previous school records, and whether a sibling is already enrolled. Applications for the 2025–2026 academic year are accepted throughout the year and are reviewed on a rolling basis, subject to space being available. If space is not available for a given year group, applicants are placed in the wait pool for consideration as seats become available.

2. Step 2: Prepare required documents and assess language needs. The application requires a Confidential Recommendation Form completed by the student's current classroom teacher and submitted directly to the school. If the student is new to English or at an Early Acquisition stage, placement in the EAL program may be considered with an additional fee. An application fee of ¥33,000 (including tax) is non-refundable, and applicants are instructed to confirm availability before transferring this fee.

3. Step 3: Submit the application and pay the fee. Availability must be confirmed before transferring the non-refundable application fee. The application fee is ¥33,000 per child and can be paid by bank transfer or credit card, with funds to be sent under the child's name as written on the invoice. Payment instructions and bank transfer details are provided to complete this step.

4. Step 4: Grade placement and admissions assessment. The process includes determining appropriate Grade Placement, which involves review of documents and potential placement considerations. The admissions office will send a confirmation email upon receipt of both the Confidential Recommendation Form and the application submission package.

5. Step 5: Enrollment and next steps after a decision. If a place is offered, enrollment steps follow, including registration and payment of the applicable fees. The published fee structure includes a Registration Fee, Campus Development and Maintenance Fee, and annual tuition, with the tuition divided by terms and tax included in all amounts.
