Summer Program Application

 

Enrollment Eligibility

Admission to the NIS Summer Program in 2026 is open to students aged 5-14 (entering first year of elementary through grade 8) as of September 2026. To fully immerse themselves in our program, students should ideally be currently studying full-time in an international school (or school outside of Japan) which uses an English-based school curriculum AND also not enrolled in the Japanese school system. Families are welcome to check with our Admissions team about their child’s eligibility. Participants for all sessions must submit a completed application form. 

Please note that while English is the common language at NIS and also during the Summer Program, we of course value the development of all languages within our multilingual community. Students in the Summer Program are expected to engage in their learning using English during the structured program sessions but are welcome to use their home language during free time. 

 

 

Application Process

  1. Review the categories of eligibility and policies for payment and refunds. 
  2. Submit the application online, which includes the full payment for program fees, as well as any additional lunch or bus fees.
  3. A confirmation will be sent to applicants after the application has been processed. 
  4. Applicants deemed ineligible (i.e. concerns about English language proficiency, age requirements, program fit, etc.) will be refunded their payment minus a handling fee.
  5. More detailed communication about the program will be sent to each participant a couple weeks before the session starts.
  6. Please pay program fees by payment deadline.
  7. Once capacity in a group/class is reached, and the group becomes full, applications for the group will be closed, and interested parents will be able to use a separate application for applicants wanting to be placed on a waitlist.

If you are unsure about your child’s English fluency, please submit a short video of your child reading aloud and briefly sharing their thoughts about the book. If possible, an English-speaking parent may also engage your child in a short conversation about it.

This will allow us to assess your child’s English level and confirm whether they can safely participate in our Summer Program.
