Tuition fees by school year (amounts, per month / per year / per term)

Notes on term arithmetic: the school operates with multiple terms (a second‑term closing ceremony is published), so per‑term figures below are shown by dividing annual totals into three terms.

- Middle school (Grades 7–9)
- Tuition: JPY 0 per month (tuition-free).
- Miscellaneous and dormitory charges (where applicable) are shown elsewhere in the school's published fees (see following sections).

- High school (Grades 10–12)
- Tuition: JPY 9,900 per month; JPY 118,800 per year; JPY 39,600 per term (annual divided into three terms).
- Miscellaneous fees (諸費): published monthly figures vary across different published pages; examples include JPY 10,000 per month (JPY 120,000 per year; JPY 40,000 per term) and JPY 18,000 per month (JPY 216,000 per year; JPY 72,000 per term). An annual miscellaneous figure of JPY 258,000 is also shown on an English summary (JPY 86,000 per term). These miscellaneous items are stated to include education activity costs (textbooks, external English test fees, ICT/platform fees, etc.).
- Dormitory (boarding) fees: published monthly figures differ among published materials; examples include JPY 37,000 per month (approx.

Dormitory fees are described as including food, utilities, common expenses and activity costs (food component is separately indicated on some pages).

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Tuition and recurring fees are published as monthly amounts (where shown) and can be expressed as annual totals (monthly × 12) and as per‑term amounts (annual ÷ 3). Specific invoice dates, due‑date schedules, and permissible late‑payment arrangements are not detailed in the published fee summaries.

Boarding fees (details)

- Boarding is provided as a full‑boarding (dormitory) model. Dormitory charges are published as a monthly fee (examples: JPY 37,000/month or JPY 42,000/month). Dormitory charges are described as including food, utilities, shared costs and activity fees; the published breakdowns note that the food component is an estimated portion of the dormitory fee. Annualized and per‑term equivalents are provided above.

Other costs and one‑time charges

- Initial and occasional additional costs explicitly listed include:
- School supplies and learning equipment (examples: laptop for learning, musical instruments, graphing calculators).
- Costs associated with project learning and field trips, which may include domestic and overseas travel and associated transport costs; amounts vary by activity and are determined by the students' program choices.
- IB‑related costs in senior year (IB final examinations and related documentation and overseas university application fees) are stated as external charges billed in foreign currency and therefore subject to exchange‑rate fluctuation.
- Uniforms and athletic clothing / PE kit are listed among typical one‑time costs under general “学用品費等”; specific uniform pricing is not published as a fixed figure in the fee summaries.

Refund information

- A specific refund policy for tuition, dormitory fees, or entrance fees is not published in the school's fee and support summaries. Recurring fee items are described as estimated amounts and may change; details on refunds, cancellations or prorated returns of fees are not specified in the published fee pages.

Fee payment options (methods)

- Published fee summaries list amounts and frequency but do not specify accepted payment methods (bank transfer, credit card, international payment service) or the school's invoicing mechanism. No specific payment platforms or card acceptance policy is detailed in the school's public fee pages.

The figures cited above are those the school publishes in its public fee and admissions materials.

Hiroshima Global Academy (HiGA) is a public boarding junior and senior high school in Osakikamijima, an island in the Seto Inland Sea, about 1.5 hours from Hiroshima. The school offers the International Baccalaureate: the Middle Years Programme (Grades 7–10) and the Diploma Programme (Grades 11–12). HiGA supports learning in both English and Japanese, and notes that some DP subjects can be studied in either language depending on a student’s ability; it also provides individualized Japanese language courses. Student life includes dormitory living across grades and nationalities. After-school, students can join A4LC clubs such as science, sports, instrumental ensemble (big band jazz), and an art-and-technology group; a student A4LC team has competed in FIRST LEGO League and qualified for a national competition.
