Job description
We require teachers who can teach Maths in English at Junior High School level. This is a fantastic opportunity to help develop a brand-new international course fit for the 21st Century. If you’re passionate about education and have the desire to really make something positive happen in Japanese secondary schools, then this could be the job for you.
We are a private high school in central Tokyo that launched an international program in April 2024. The course combines the Japanese national curriculum with Cambridge International Lower Secondary, and is aimed at children coming through the regular Japanese elementary school system. The course incorporates a range of progressive teaching methodologies to develop the students’ 21st Century skills.
Together with the members of the project team, you will:
Help to implement an international programme based on the Cambridge International system, MEXT junior High School curriculum, Cambridge ESOL, and CLIL
Ensure your teaching employs cutting-edge educational principles and methodology (regular training will be provided)
Actively participate in relevant training and professional development
Monitor and assess students’ progress and well-being
This is a hugely challenging project, but one that has the potential to be game changing in Japan. As such, we are looking for high-caliber, passionate educators who would like to make meaningful change to education in this country. You will be fully supported throughout by an enthusiastic project team comprised of members of the school board, educators, educational consultants, admin staff, the Head of Programme, and other passionate and committed teachers.
