Founded in 1888, this school went from a women's academy to coeducational with IB accreditation in 2018, then underwent its third renaming in 2025.
Last reviewed by William Prep: 2026-09-24
This school was founded in 1888 as a women's academy. It became coeducational in 2018, renaming to Musashino University Affiliated Chiyoda High School and gaining IB accreditation the same year. It was renamed again in 2024 to 千代田国際中学校・武蔵野大学附属千代田高等学院. Then, in April 2025, both "International" and "Musashino University Affiliated" were dropped, leaving the simple name Chiyoda Junior and Senior High School.

01Tuition & Fees
Fees: The Rebrand Is Too Recent for a Current Primary Source
With the April 2025 rebrand still very recent, no dedicated fee page was found on the school's own site in currently available public information. Fee information from the old name persists on several third-party sites, but publishing it as if it were still current risked being wrong — the rebrand may have changed the fee structure itself, not just the name.
No verified fee schedule was available from the reviewed sources.
02Admissions
| Cycle | 未確認 not publicly confirmed |
University Entrance Eligibility in Japan
| School-accreditation route | Yes (estimated) |
| Student-qualification route (IB, etc.) | No not publicly confirmedIf a student completes the IB Diploma, the individual-credential route would apply — but whether the IB programme itself currently still exists is not publicly confirmed. |
Domestic university eligibility via Article 1 graduation is assured. On the IB Diploma question specifically, third-party sources report it continues, but the school's own current site makes no mention of it — a discrepancy in currently available public information couldn't resolve. Families planning around the IB should confirm directly with the school before assuming either way.
What Japanese Families Should Know
Questions to Ask the School
1.Is the IB Diploma Programme still offered?
Why this matters: Published sources conflict; confirm the current position directly with the school.
2.What are the current (2026-27) fees?
Why this matters: Public information does not establish this clearly; confirm it directly with the school.
03Curriculum
No IB Mention on the School's Current Site
Third-party sources report the Dual Language DP programme continues even after the 2025 rebrand. But checking the school's own current site (chiyoda. ed. jp) directly, while it describes inquiry-based, project-based learning, no mention of the IB turned up anywhere. That doesn't necessarily mean the IB was dropped — but at minimum, the school isn't currently foregrounding it.
Key Point
How to handle this discrepancy was a real test of this research's discipline. It would have been easy to simply assert "the IB continues" based on third-party reporting — but since the school's own primary source doesn't back that up, this profile records honestly that it couldn't be confirmed. The decision to drop "International" from the name at all may itself signal a broader shift in how the school now positions itself.
