04School Features
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.
Key Point
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.
What Makes This School Distinctive
A tuition rate locked at the entry-year level through graduation
The entry-year tuition rate isn't affected by subsequent fee increases
Stated directly on the school's own fee page.
Makes multi-year cost planning more predictable for a family.
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 in currently available public information)
