Admissions Process
|
1. Inquiry Form
Please complete the online inquiry form.
|
2. Group Information Session and Tour
Please schedule an in-person Group Information Session and Tour through your OpenApply account. An in-person Group Information Session and Tour will be offered on one Saturday per month during our admissions season from September until February. This event will provide prospective families with an opportunity to learn about our program and see first-hand how our school environment looks and feels. Families will have the opportunity to play in the schoolyard for an additional 30 minutes after the tour ends. School staff will be available to answer any questions.
|
|
Kindly note that it is necessary for families to participate in this event before an interview with the Principal can be scheduled. Some families with special circumstances may receive a link to a recorded Information Session and Campus Tour if they cannot participate in the in-person event.

3. Application Form and Application Fee
Please submit the application and complete the application fee payment of 16,500 yen. The KPIS Admissions Office will start to process an application after the application fee has been confirmed. If families are applying from overseas, the application fee will be charged together with Enrollment Fees if their child has been admitted and they accept our offer of admission.
|

After the application fee has been confirmed, families will receive an email from the KPIS Admissions Office, asking that they complete the Request Form for After School Care and/or School Bus Service.

Enrollment Fees
Enrollment Fees constitute a non-refundable, one-time payment for every new student joining the school.

Late Enrollment
For students who enroll after a term begins, tuition fees will be calculated based upon weeks. However, there is one exception to this policy: in the case when a student enrolls in September, parents must pay for Term 1’s tuition fees in full.
|
Payment
Parents are responsible for the payment of school fees in full by the deadline printed on the invoice, even in cases when a third party such as a company will make the payment. Please note that all payments must include the student’s first and last name to ensure that payments are properly credited to the designated student.

Parents and companies are responsible for all bank transfer charges when transferring payments. Kindly refer to the school’s bank transfer details below.
