Job overview

Are you seeking a school where you work hard, surrounded by smiles and kindness? Do you want to teach children who are excited, and striving to become the kindest, happiest and tidiest school in the world? Are you seeking an independent British prep school nestled in the centre of the biggest city in the world? If you are an exceptional and committed UK-qualified teacher, then the children of Phoenix House are looking for you!

Set in the centre of Tokyo, close to the Imperial Palace and the British Embassy, Phoenix House offers a British independent prep-school education based on the National Curriculum of England, for pupils aged 5 to 11. Phoenix House is the official feeder prep school for Rugby School Japan.

If you are looking for a school where you can work to ensure every pupil is inspired and challenged, alongside colleagues who show exceedingly high levels of commitment to the field of education, then we are looking to hear from you. We seek professionals who are keen to go above and beyond, and who understand and appreciate the varied demands of independent schooling, including the impact of marketing events, admissions and business aspects on school and teaching life.

Phoenix House teachers work with some of the most high achieving and engaged pupils in the region, who in turn enjoy high levels of parental support and encouragement. These factors combine to create an exciting working and learning environment, with wide open doors of opportunity for both pupils and teachers.

Our core mission at Phoenix House is to grow confident, articulate young people, through a curriculum that challenges, and a co-curricular programme that builds character and expertise. Each Phoenix takes entrance exams to Rugby School Japan, or other leading senior schools, during Prep 5 and Prep 6.

Building confidence and enriching the whole school community, our houses - Oak, Rothesay, Snowdon, and Windsor, bring the arts, culture and sports to the heart of Phoenix House. Annual residential visits for all year groups, enliven the curriculum and deepen self confidence through a boarding school experience. 

If you feel excited by the opportunity to join our growing team, in this young, dynamic school then we encourage early application. Teachers with experience in, and an understanding of UK independent schools, are strongly encouraged to apply.
