Curriculum

A school for learning in an Islamic environment, opened in July 2016 by the FGA Education Foundation and the Islamic Centre of Japan. The secondary school follows the UK Cambridge curriculum and prepares for IGCSE exams. The tuition table has categories for Lower Secondary (Forms 1–2), IGCSE (Forms 3–4) and AS/A Level (Forms 5–6). In kindergarten, English is used as the everyday language. All grades have Quran and Islamic studies, and from elementary school there is a morning class for Quran memorization (tahfeez).

Annual tuition

The fee table does not state a school year (the "Latest fees" PDF posted in January 2025). How consumption tax is handled is also not stated. The tuition table shows two payments, Term 1 and Term 2, but the text of the tuition page says "annual, paid in 3 installments", so the number of payments conflicts. The table also has a category called "Namiki" (¥1,440,000/year), with no explanation of what it is. In addition to tuition, a School Program fee (¥80,000 for kindergarten and elementary, ¥100,000 for secondary) and Building Development Fees of ¥420,000 are charged every year. To withdraw, give written notice at least one term in advance or pay one term's fees. Term fees are in principle non-refundable. New students whom the school judges to need help catching up academically may be charged ¥10,000–¥35,000/month.
