Tuition

Please click on the following links to see the Academic Year (Sept-June) and Headstart Program (April-June) tuition rates.

Tuition Policies

Sibling Discount

The program rates are comprised of an application fee and a registration fee (one-time), a facilities/materials fee (yearly), and a tuition fee (yearly). One-time application and registration fees apply to all students who enroll. The facilities/materials fee also applies to all students every year. However, the tuition fees for the second (and any subsequent) child who enrolls from a particular family are discounted by twenty-five percent.

Mid-Year Enrollment

Tuition fees will be assessed on a per-month basis for any partial year that a student attends upon enrollment, until the next regular or headstart program commences. For example, if a child is enrolled in January, per-month fees will apply for January, February, and March, and then regular headstart fees will apply from April to June. If a child enrolls after the 15th of the month, half of the monthly fee will apply. Please note that this system applies for children who are enrolling part way through the year, but it does not apply for students who leave part way through the year.

Scholarships

Some scholarships are available for children in need of financial support. Please contact us to discuss your options.

Payment Options

All fees must be paid by bank transfer by the due dates. No checks or foreign currencies will be accepted.

The tuition fee for the entire academic year (September to June) may be paid in one lump sum before the first day of the first semester or, in order to meet the needs of those for whom a large lump sum payment may be difficult, we offer a two payment plan with payments in August and January and a four payment plan with payments in August, November, January, and April.

The tuition fee for the Spring Headstart Program may be paid in one lump sum before April 1 or, in order to meet the needs of those for] whom a large lump sum payment may be difficult, TIP offers an installment plan of three payments on April 1, May 1, and June 1.

Late Payment

If the fees are not paid by the due date for each term a late fee of 1,000 yen per day will be charged until payment is made. If payment is not made within two weeks of the beginning of the term, the student will be dismissed from classes.
