Tuition and Fees - Canadian Academy

Hero Banner

Canadian Academy is run on a not-for-profit basis and all funds collected and generated by the school are invested in improving learning outcomes for the students of today and of tomorrow. CA is subject both to the cost pressures of operating in Japan and to competitive forces across the global international school market. All tuition and fees at Canadian Academy are reviewed annually by the Board of Trustees, and families should expect a modest annual increase in view of these factors.

Information for Corporations

As the tuition and other fees collected are not in themselves sufficient to offset the cost of the quality programs offered to our students, we are grateful for and reliant upon the financial support of international and Japanese corporations with families enrolled at CA.

Please refer to the page linked below for further information, including specific tuition schedules for eligible corporations.

Transportation

The school offers a transportation service for students living in areas serviced by the two school buses. The school does not offer transportation to those living in other areas. The service carries an annual fee of ¥97,000 to ¥169,000 for one-way travel, or ¥176,000 to ¥319,000 for round trip travel. As demand is high and both buses carry waiting lists, priority is given to students making an annual commitment to the bus service.

Food Services

Students in all grade levels have the opportunity of being served lunch by the school’s food services provider, Cezar’s Kitchen. All students will be assigned a Cezar’s account during their enrollment at CA. Families are then responsible for topping up their children’s accounts throughout the year, and Cezar’s manages account balances directly without the school’s involvement.

Student Support Services

All students entering Grade 1 or above who are assessed by the school as requiring English as an Additional Language (EAL) services at “beginning”, “progressing”, or “intermediate” level pay an EAL service fee of ¥200,000 per year for the first three years of enrollment, and ¥100,000 per year thereafter.

Any student who requires Tier 2, 3, or 4 level support on CA’s four-tier model will be required to participate in the Learning Support program. The staffing costs associated with the program are subsidized by the family in addition to the standard tuition fee.

Payment Policies

School fees for new families are due in full within 30 days of invoicing or before the new student’s first day at school, whichever is earlier. School fees for returning families are due in full by the July 1 preceding the start of the school year.

Application fees are payable by credit card at the time of application and required for consideration of each application. All other fees are invoiced by the Finance Office and payable by bank transfer only. All fees are payable in Japanese yen, and all bank transfer, credit card, or other charges are the responsibility of the payor.
