Admission Procedures
The following are required for admission:
Attendance by one or both parents at an online or onsite orientation.
A completed OPEN APPLY online application form. (Upon completion, please verify and open the parent account, as directed.) There is no application fee.
A completed online Health History Form for each child. They are available from the Open Apply parent account once it has been opened.
Transcripts or copies of reports for each child for the most recent two years, or from Grade 8 and above for applicants to grades 10, 11 or 12.
These may be uploaded as part of the OPEN APPLY application
attached to an email to admissions@newis.ed.jp
or posted to the school address.
For applicants to the Early Learning Center or Grade One, a transcript is not required if the previous school or kindergarten does not issue them.
An interview with parent(s) and child(ren), online or onsite. If neither parent speaks English or Japanese, an interpreter should be provided by the parent(s).
Applicants to Grades 9 to 12 must have sufficient proficiency in English and/or Japanese to follow the curriculum.
Admission Decision
Following the interview, children will be accepted subject to the availability of space, provided that the records are complete, we are confident that the child will be able to substantially benefit from our program, and that the parents will support the mission of the school and abide by the school policies.
Decisions are made on a rolling basis. Early application is advised to avoid a waiting list.
Payment of Entrance Fee will be required within ten days of acceptance to hold a space. The remainder of the fees are to be paid according to the schedule and payment options provided.
Note: A bus application form is also available from the Open Apply dashboard of the parent account for those who may wish their child(ren) to commute by school bus.
