Senri International is a junior/senior high school in Minoh-shi, Osaka, part of the Kwansei Gakuin University group, known for combining AP courses with the Japanese curriculum in a bilingual model. The school's own fee page explicitly states the tuition rate set at entry stays fixed through graduation.

An Unusual Rate-Lock Policy

Most schools raise tuition incrementally by grade level, but Senri International explicitly states that the rate set at entry doesn't change through graduation. That means a student who enrols earlier could end up locked into a lower rate than one who enrols later — depending on when any fee revisions happen.

William Prep’s Analysis

For a family estimating multi-year costs, this fixed-rate structure actually makes planning easier. But it also means that any annual fee revision applies only to new entrants — a family already enrolled and a family considering enrolling now could genuinely be paying different rates, which is worth understanding upfront.

Fees: A Real First-Year Total of About ¥1.47M (External Admission)

Senri International's own 2026 fee page lists an entrance fee of ¥300,000 (external admission) or ¥150,000 (internal junior-to-senior-high progression). Annual tuition is ¥1,070,000, common across junior and senior high, fixed at the entry-year rate. On top of that, an annual instructional materials deposit (¥90,000), parents' association fee (¥9,000), and support association fee (¥3,000) apply, for a first-year total of roughly ¥1,472,000 for external admission. Field trips and school travel are separate.

University Entrance Eligibility in Japan

Domestic university eligibility is assured via ordinary graduation as an Article 1 school. Details of any AP- or IB-related individual-credential route weren't confirmed this session. There may be an internal progression track to Kwansei Gakuin University, but this wasn't confirmed either.

What Japanese Families Should Know

Who Might Find This School a Good Fit

Might suit — Families wanting cost certainty across multiple years

Might not suit — Families wanting the specific AP course list or IB details confirmed before applying (neither was confirmed this session)

William Prep’s Analysis

What made researching Senri International interesting is that the rate-lock policy itself says something about how the school is run — not just a number, but the kind of institutional detail that actually shapes a family's decision.

Questions to Ask the School

1.What exactly does "IB for SIS students" refer to — the DP, or something else?
Why this matters: This phrase appears on the school's own page, but the details weren't confirmed this session.
2.What is the full list of AP courses offered?
Why this matters: Not confirmed this session.
