There are approximately 650 students representing over 50 nationalities enrolled at Seisen.

Boys are accepted only into our Kindergarten program.
Seisen is an all-girls school from grade 1.

Seisen admits Japanese students who have spent at least two years abroad in an English-speaking school system or in an international school without English as an Additional Language (EAL) support. There need to be objective reasons for placement in an international school rather than within the Japanese system of education.

The maximum number of students per class is around 20 for Kindergarten- grade 1, and 25 for grades 2-12.

Although the length of time for the admission process varies for each applicant, Seisen does require time to review the student’s application and supporting documents. Generally, this process takes one week.

We accept applications throughout the year.
Parents and prospective students are encouraged to visit our school.

The family interview is an important part of the admission process for both the parents and the school to determine if your child will succeed in our program, so it is a requirement.
After submitting all of the application documents, an interview will be scheduled at a mutually convenient time.

Seisen does require an entrance exam.

Placement tests in English and mathematics will be given to determine the assistance the child will require.

As part of the on-line application, report cards for the last two years and other documents are required.
The admissions portal will help you keep track of what documents are needed to complete the application.
