Enrolment Procedures

If you are keen for your child/children to enrol at Makuhari International School, please fill in the application form and then return to the school, together with a copy of the child's passport picture page, a copy of their birth certificate and any records, references or test results from the previous school which the child attended. If we feel a child is appropriate for joining Makuhari International School, a subsequent test will be organised. However, this test is unlikely for children in Kindergarten 1 or 2 where a meeting with the Head or Deputy is more likely to take the place of a test. Where a child is accepted for testing/interviewing, a fee of ¥20,000 is paid to the school.

In certain situations, after a test, a follow-up interview might be arranged with the Head or Deputy Head of School. When deemed necessary a Trial Day may be organised in order to make clearer the child's suitability for entering Makuhari International School.

In almost all cases, a child will be placed in the relevant Grade (dependant on their chronological age). However, if requested, or deemed necessary by the Head/Deputy Head of School and/or class teacher, a child may be accepted into a class one year below their chronological age. It is extremely unlikely that any child would be put in a class one year above their chronological age.

An offer of a place will either be made or not - in writing. Any decision made by the Head of School is final. If a place is not offered, advice and further information may be supplied to the child's parents.

Registration and other fees are payable immediately on entry to the school.

A child may leave the school for up to 3 months and a place will be held open for them, as long as tuition fees are paid for the period of absence. During the absence, the child is expected to attend an appropriate school, with documentation of such attendance required upon return to Makuhari International School. Any period of longer than 3 months will be up to the discretion of the Head of School.
