Admissions

Admissions
Admissions overview: GIIS Tokyo operates on a multi-curriculum model with a clear, step‑by‑step admissions process. The school emphasizes transparency and guidance from admissions counselors, campus visits, and a documented application path. The process involves initial contact, a campus visit or online counselling, submission of the application with supporting documents, payment of the first term's fees to confirm placement, and the submission of required documentation. Shortlisted candidates may undergo a separate, more detailed admission process as part of the final selection.

1. Step 1 – Contact Us: Parents begin by reaching out via the enquiry form, or by calling or writing to the admissions team. An admissions counsellor responds by email or phone to provide guidance and next steps, including options for a campus tour or a virtual meeting. This initial contact sets expectations for the timeline, curriculum choices, and how to proceed with an enrolment inquiry.

2. Step 2 – Campus Visit (or Meeting): After initial contact, arrange a campus visit to a GIIS Tokyo campus or a counselling meeting (online or in person). Time is respected as a key factor, and counsellors explain the admission process, the available curricula (GMP, CBSE, PYP, IGCSE, IB DP, etc.), and the subjects on offer. The campus visit also gives families an opportunity to see facilities and ask questions about student life and the learning environment.

3. Step 3 – Submit Application Form: Complete the application form and submit it with the required documents. At application time, a non‑refundable one‑time registration fee confirms the seat. If you are pursuing scholarships, there are separate scholarship forms and scholarship experts to guide you through that track. Shortlisted candidates will enter a separate admission process as part of final consideration.

4. Step 4 – Payment Of Term 1 Fees: Once the student meets the required criteria and all admission steps are satisfied, pay the first term fees before the school's start date. If admissions occur mid‑year, term fees are prorated accordingly. This payment is made after the admission procedures are completed and is part of securing enrolment.

5. Step 5 – Documentation: Submit the required documentation to complete the enrolment. Typical documents include the child's birth certificate, proof of residential address, a recent passport‑size photo, and a medical certificate. Documentation is essential; without it, applications may be rejected.

Fees overview ( AY 2025‑26 context): GIIS Tokyo uses a three‑term academic year, with terms of four months each. Fees must be paid for the full term before the due date, and a late fee of 100 JPY per day applies if payments are late. All fees are inclusive of a 10% consumption tax and are typically paid via GIRO auto‑debit; the first term can be paid by credit card. These payment rules and timelines apply across curricula and campuses.

Fee examples by curriculum (per term, AY 2025‑26):
- Global Montessori Programme (GMP): Term tuition 300,181 JPY; Building fee 36,616 JPY; Total per term 336,798 JPY. Registration fee 40,000 JPY (one‑time). Total per‑term recurring fees: 336,798 JPY; first term may be paid by credit card, later terms via GIRO.
- Other curricula (illustrative per‑term totals, AY 2025‑26): Term tuition around 364,054 JPY to 364,054 JPY (depending on curriculum) plus Building fee 36,616 JPY; Total per term around 400,670 JPY. Registration fee remains 40,000 JPY (one‑time). All figures include 10% tax and are subject to change.

Bus and transport: Bus fees are separate from tuition and depend on routes and campus. The SSD Campus (Seishincho) shuttle operates on a defined route, with specific pickup points, and bus registration charges apply for new or resumed services. Changes to schedules can occur, and a one‑month notice is required to cancel a service. New bus service requests require a lead time (about 15 days).

Scholarships and financial aid: GIIS Tokyo offers scholarships, including the Sadako Ogata Scholarship (open to students of all grades, supporting merit and financial need), the Hideki Yukawa Global Skills Scholarship (talent-based, technology focus), and the Global FUTURE‑READY Merit Scholarship (merit‑based; eligibility typically 91% or above or A and above). Scholarship information is published on the admissions/fees pages and scholarship forms are available through the admissions process. Shortlisted candidates for admission may also have the scholarship pathway explained by scholarship experts.

Scholarships
Scholarships are available at GIIS Tokyo. The Sadako Ogata Scholarship is open to students of all grades and supports merit‑based awards combined with financial need. The Hideki Yukawa Global Skills Scholarship targets talent in technology areas, while the Global FUTURE‑READY Merit Scholarship is awarded to high‑achieving students (eligible typically 91%+ or A+). Applications for scholarships are handled through dedicated scholarship forms and guidance from scholarship experts as part of the admissions process.

Waitlist
There is no publicly published waitlist policy for GIIS Tokyo Seishincho Campus. The admissions process mentions a shortlisting step where shortlisted candidates undergo a separate admission process, but it does not describe a numbered waitlist or a waitpool system. This means there is no formal waitlist documented on the available GIIS Tokyo admissions pages.
