About international schools in Japan
International Baccalaureate (IB) schools in Japan form a mixed network of day schools and a few boarding options that increasingly offer the full IB continuum (Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma) and programmes taught in English, Japanese or a combination of both. Many IB schools in Japan operate in major cities and cater to expatriate and locally mobile families, with some schools explicitly offering Japanese-language DP subjects through a long-standing IB - MEXT partnership. Annual tuition varies by campus and level but commonly falls in the low-to-mid millions of yen for day schools, with central Tokyo schools sometimes charging higher fees. Admissions calendars vary: a substantial group of international schools run an August-to-June year while others follow the Japanese April-to-March cycle, so families normally plan applications 9 - 12 months ahead and should check each school’s entry windows and language-support provisions before relocating.
