Yokohama International School

Tuition and Fees

Note: All fees are per student and payable in Japanese Yen only.

YIS is a not-for-profit educational institution that relies almost entirely on school fees to cover operating expenses. The school is subject not only to the cost pressures of operating in Japan but also to competitive forces in the wider international schools market. Parents should therefore anticipate a modest annual increase in school fees. Scholarships are granted to students whose parents are employed by companies that join our Corporate Contribution Program (CCP). Please contact the Business Office for further information regarding CCP eligibility.

Unlike most other international schools in Japan, YIS tuition fees are comprehensive and include the cost of school-issued computers/tablets, IBDP, ISA and PSAT external examinations (excluding resits), as well as most expeditions and field trips. Expenses for school bus service, PE uniforms, cafeteria service and some long-distance extracurricular activity-related travel are paid by parents/guardians separately. (See Parent Handbook for details.)
