Seeking qualified, certified, and experienced teachers

Tathva International School http://www.Tathva.co in Tokyo, Japan is seeking qualified, certified, and experienced teachers that are capable of handling classrooms with a high influx of new enrollments and quick expansion. Only 4 years ago the school started with only 4 students. This year, Tathva began the Japanese school year calendar in April with over 300 and are expecting an additional 50 more enrollments as expats from Asia & the West transfer into Japan during the summer months and enroll their children for September.

We are accredited by IPC for our Kindergarten and accredited by Cambridge for our Primary & Secondary program. We offer a competitive salary for the right candidate in one of the greatest cities in the world. Tokyo, Japan is the largest and most populated metropolitan area in the world with close to 35 million people and with the largest urban economy of $1.5 trillion dollars according to Wikipedia. It was named the third “most liveable city” in 2009 by Monocle and is a city overflowing with endless adventures, amazing culture, and dynamic living.

The school is located in the Edogawa Ward of Tokyo and is only a 10 minute walk to the Tokyo Metro Station, allowing the candidate to literally live in any area of Tokyo with a fast commute.
