How to Enroll

September 2024 Open House

The September 14, 2024 Open House is the last opportunity for new students to enroll at OCG for the 2024-2025 academic year. Please note that many of our classes for the 2024-2025 academic year are already full.

The deadline to sign up for Open House is September 7, 2024. You must sign up for Open House in order to participate. We will not take walk-ins.
To sign up for Open House, you must complete the following:
1. Request an Open House Appointment slot
2. Fill out a Student Information form
3. Complete the Language Background form
4. Review this video introduction about the school and our curriculum
Please complete all steps above by September 7, 2024 in order to attend Open House

During Open House, you will have the opportunity to:

Have your child(ren) sit in class to observe and participate in one of our classes.
Ask questions about the school or curriculum.
Receive a language assessment (for students intending to enroll).
If you are interested in registering for the following school year, we will place you on a waitlist for the class.*

*Please note that you are not guaranteed a spot when you are placed on a waitlist.

The OCG school year runs between August and June. We hold Open House days in the spring (usually February and May), where prospective families have the opportunity to visit classes and register for the upcoming school year.

New families may also enroll during the fall when the school year begins, depending on class availability. Students who already have Japanese language ability may also set up a language assessment appointment for enrollment options during the school year.

Please visit our Contact Page to set up registration appointments for Open House, fall enrollment, or assessment opportunities after enrollment closes.

Tuition

Our basic tuition for 2023-2024 is $1350 per student annually ($135 per month).

Starting in 2023-2024, tuition will be collected monthly through our Parent Portal, and all families will be required to have an up to date payment method on file (auto-pay). Parents have the option of using ACH or a credit card as their payment method.

Multi-student discounts are available for students within the same family.

New Student Registration Fee

New students pay a one-time New Student Registration fee of $100 per student ($50 if you register during our Open House.)

Multiple Student Discount

We offer discounts if you have more than one child in any of our classes:

1 child: $1350 per year
2 children: $2250 per year
3 children: $3150 per year
4 children: $3900 per year

School Management Fee

OCG assesses a School Management Fee of $250 per family ($125 for a single-parent family) per year (2023-2024).

OCG may offer opportunities for families to work off all or part of this fee through participation in specific fundraising activities such as a Huntington Beach Fireworks booth. These opportunities are contingent on OCG’s participation in such events.

Committee Requirement

OCG is a parent-run school and requires all families to participate in one of our committees.

Families that do not fulfill committee requirements will be assessed a $500 Committee Opt-Out Fee per year ($250 for single-parent families).

Please see the Committee Descriptions page for details on each committee.
