Our current cohort of staff; their strengths, diversity and experiences – in addition to our current school goals – determines who we hire each year.

We often find ourself saying “Wow this candidate is amazing, I wish we had space for him/her!” We understand just how much time and effort it takes to write an application and we thank you for your interest in Tokyo International School. Whether it be at TIS or elsewhere, we wish you every success finding a wonderful, exciting position!
