IMPORTANT NOTICES
Tuition & Fee Payments
Hokkaido International School follows business and accounting practices established under Japanese and US legal and tax requirements, as well as the advice of professional auditors. As a result, HIS requires that tuition and fee payments be made through bank transfers. Furthermore, tuition and fee payments must be made on a quarterly basis. We appreciate your understanding in this.
Tuition Increase Notice
It is an unfortunate fact that the costs of education rarely remain static. To maintain and advance the standard of education expected of an international school, HIS incorporates annual tuition increases of between 2% and 3%.
Late Start
Each Wednesday morning, teachers gather for seventy-five minutes to collaborate on curricular work for the benefit of the school and its students. This means that school starts one hour later than usual.
