Travel Programs
The cost of school trips varies and depends on the duration and location of the trip.

Pricing and payment deadlines will be published in advance of each trip.
Food Services
ASIJ provides a hot meal program and other food services at the Chofu Campus, which varies in price based on the items individually purchased. An optional lunch delivery service is available at the Early Learning Center. Pricing for both programs is published with the menus.

Payment Policies & Programs

Corporations and organizations that provide educational benefits to their employees are asked to consider participating in the Corporate Contribution Program, a potentially cost effective alternative to paying school fees, tuition and the Japanese individual income taxes on these educational benefits.
Installment Payments
Payment of tuition and fees on an installment basis may be requested by individual families who are paying the annual tuition, but not by companies and other organizations responsible for covering educational expenses. A carrying charge will be added to cover administrative costs. If you would like more information, and/or wish to apply, please contact the Accounting Office at billing@asij.ac.jp.
Late Enrollment
For students enrolled after the school year commences, tuition and bus fees will be calculated based upon academic quarters. Attendance for any portion of a quarter (mid-semester) will necessitate payment for the entire quarter.
Delinquent Payments
In cases of financial delinquency, school policy prohibits class attendance and/or the release of grades, transcripts, or other records of attendance and performance.
Refunds
If a student will be withdrawn during any semester, parents should notify the School in writing of the last expected day of attendance. This notification must be received by the first day of classes in August (if withdrawing during the first semester) or the first day of second semester (if withdrawing during the second semester) in order for a refund of tuition and bus fees to be made for any full academic quarter during which the student will not attend.
Fees
Registration Fee: This fee is a deposit that secures the student’s seat at ASIJ until the first day of school.
Capital Assessment Fee: The capital assessment fee is a non-refundable annual fee initiated for ordinary maintenance of school facilities.
Building Maintenance Fee: The building maintenance fee is a non-refundable one-time fee for construction/renovation of school building facilities.
Re-Enrollment Fee: A non-refundable tuition deposit that is paid to secure the student’s seat and then applied to the first tuition installment.
Corporate Contribution Plan
Corporate Contribution PlanCorporations and organizations that provide educational benefits to their employees are asked to consider participating in the Corporate Contribution Program, a potentially cost effective alternative to paying school fees, tuition and the Japanese individual income taxes on these educational benefits.
The Board of Directors wants all parents and organizations to be aware that tuition does not cover the full cost of educating a student at ASIJ. Consequently, tuition and fees would be significantly higher were it not for contributions and other non-tuition income. Therefore, your continued support of the School's voluntary annual fund is earnestly requested. For more information on how to make your contribution, please see Support ASIJ.
