職務内容

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to help implement a brand-new international course fit for the 21 st 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 require a teacher who can teach Science at Junior High School level. This is a once-in-a lifetime 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’ 21 st Century skills.

Together with the members of the project team, you will:

• Implement an international programme based on the Cambridge International system, MEXT junior High School curriculum, Cambridge ESOL, and CLIL
• Teach Science at Cambridge International lower secondary level
• Teach some English classes
• Assist in designing, developing, and implementing a comprehensive co-curricular system to support learning
• Ensure your teaching employs cutting-edge educational principles and methodology (regular training will be provided)
• Actively participate in an ongoing professional development programme
• 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.
