Non-Resident Applicants
TYIS recognizes that applicants living outside Japan may be unable to attend in-person interviews, and relocation decisions may depend on space availability and acceptance. For applicants who are not Japanese citizens, a valid resident visa and Zairyu Card (resident card) are required for enrollment. Students applying from outside Japan will be considered based on their submitted documents, online test, and interview. Applicants waiting for their resident visa approval may be placed in our waiting pool; however, if they are unable to obtain the visa, they must change their status to Leave of Absence (LOA) in order to maintain their place in the waiting pool.
Decisions
Admissions decisions are based on the following criteria;
1-Child's Age
2-Child's previous academic and school performance
3-Admissions interview
4-Placement test results and English ability
Non-native English-speaking Applicants
English abilities will be evaluated through a combination of dynamic and comprehensive assessments specifically chosen by our admission staff. The applicant may be required to enroll in TYIS's Academic Support for Kids program (ASK).
Applicants for grades 6-9 with no English language experience will not be accepted.
