If you’re a UK-qualified, exceptional and committed teacher, then Phoenix House may be the next exciting step in your teaching journey.
About Us
Nestled in the heart of central Tokyo, just a stone’s throw from the Imperial Palace and the British Embassy, Phoenix House delivers an independent British prep school education to children aged 5–11, following the National Curriculum for England. We are proud to serve as the official feeder prep school for Rugby School Japan.
What We’re Looking For
We seek passionate professionals who are:
- Inspired by excellence, and ready to inspire it in others
- Committed to ensuring every pupil is both challenged and celebrated
- Enthusiastic about contributing to a dynamic, growing school
- Willing to embrace the rhythm of independent school life, including open days, performances, residentials, and the wider life of the school
At Phoenix House, you’ll join a highly dedicated team of educators, working with motivated, high-achieving pupils and engaged families. This rich environment enables both children and teachers to thrive.
Our Ethos and Enrichment
Phoenix House is a school that grows confident, articulate young people through a rich, rigorous curriculum and a co-curricular programme that builds both character and capability. From Prep 5, pupils prepare for entrance exams to leading Senior Schools including Rugby School Japan.
Our four houses – Oak, Rothesay, Snowdon and Windsor – bring joy and community to school life through music, drama, sport and service. Annual residential trips for all year groups further enrich the curriculum, building independence and self-belief.
Why Join Us?
- Teach in a school that values warmth, ambition, and professionalism
- Help shape a young school with exciting growth opportunities
- Join a community where excellence is expected, but kindness leads the way
If this sounds like the kind of school you’ve been waiting for, we’d love to hear from you.
