SAPIX Elementary Division
About
A cram school for junior high school entrance exams. It is for grades 1–6, with classes once a week up to grade 3 and twice a week in grade 4. Courses are organized by ability, about 15–20 children per course; classes proceed through discussion based on what is written on the board, and study centers on review rather than preview. To join, children take an admission test.
Ages
For grades 1–6. Admission tests are held about once a month for each grade; new first graders need to be able to read and write hiragana and read and write numbers from 1 to 10.
Monthly fees
The monthly tuition is given on the official website's "FY2026 Tuition" page, but this database has not yet checked the amounts. Tuition includes the costs of placement tests, monthly tests, review tests, and similar held as part of classes, material fees for textbooks and handouts used in class, and heating/cooling costs. Special seasonal courses such as spring and summer courses, books such as atlases and workbooks, and open mock exams from the second half of grade 3 are charged separately. Tuition is in principle paid by automatic debit from a bank account.
Fees when joining
At admission, an admission fee of ¥33,000 (tax included) and 2 months of tuition are charged (only the course fee if taking only seasonal courses). Before admission, children take the admission test (exam fee ¥3,300, tax included).
Trial lessons and visits
Classes cannot be observed. For the admission tests for grades 1–4 held in January–March, July, and October–December, there is a trial class after the test (from November, it switches to the new grade). Admission information sessions are held at each school, with no booking needed.
