Working at CTIS
Capital Tokyo International School (CTIS) opened in April 2022 with cohorts of grade one, three, and four students, and since August, we have been an IB PYP candidate school. We will soon apply to be an IB MYP candidate school as well. In April 2023, our middle school will open, and we will be able to accept students from grades one to seven, grade eight students from 2024, and grade nine students from 2025. Other plans include opening a high school in a different location for grades ten to twelve, which will offer the IB Diploma Program, and starting a kindergarten from April 2024 based in Shibuya. To summarize, by 2028, CTIS should be a K-12 school offering at least three IB programs.
As an expanding school, we are always happy to hear from teachers who want to join our hard-working, positive and proactive team, which is growing and diversifying all the time. We are especially interested in hearing from licensed professionals with IB experience and training. Postgraduate degrees, especially in a related field such as education or TESOL, and some ability to work in Japanese are also desirable qualities. In addition to the obvious professional development and career progression opportunities that come with working for a new, ambitious school, we offer a highly competitive salary, several extended vacation periods, and class sizes that will not exceed twelve students. We also provide staff with freshly brewed coffee every day as well!

Before applying to work at CTIS or even expressing an interest in being a part of our team, however, all potential candidates should make sure they understand our school’s mission, progress, and activities by engaging with our website and social media accounts, including our Instagram feeds and YouTube channels.
Even more important to note is that CTIS takes the safety of our students, the quality of our education, and reputation very seriously. As such, before making an employment offer to anyone, we will:
- Review a sample of good practice provided by the candidate which may include live or recorded lesson observations, performance appraisals, unit plans, or student work.
- Perform at least one reference check with a candidate’s current or most recent employer.
- Accept references from supervisors or members of senior leadership teams only.
- Contact referees only through professional telephone numbers or email addresses.
- Ask for proof of VISA status, professional development, licenses, and qualifications.
- Conduct internet checks and other due diligence on potential employees.
Thank you for reading and considering working for CTIS. If you still want to work for us and meet our expectations and requirements, we would be delighted to hear from you. Have a great day!
