We are seeking an outstanding Art and Design & Technology teacher to teach in our Art Department and Design Technology Department who will be an ambitious and dynamic colleague who shares our vision of teaching as a vocation, and who will seize an exciting opportunity to work at Rugby School Japan (RSJ).
The post holder is required to teach the two subjects of Art and Design Technology throughout the school up to and including GCSE, with at least one of these subjects being taught up to A-level. Dual specialists in the visual arts are highly desirable (ideally being able to teach Art and Design Technology up to A-level), but single discipline specialists who are willing to develop their teaching practice across the visual arts are also encouraged to apply. The post holder will also be expected to make a full contribution to the pastoral and co-curricular life of the School.
RSJ is the second international sister school of Rugby School, one of the UK’s most prestigious and well-known schools. It shares Rugby’s aims and ethos, and aspires to be one of Asia’s top schools. RSJ is an international co-educational day and boarding school for 11-18-year olds, located on a spectacular campus in Kashiwa-no-ha, 30 minutes by train from central Tokyo. The School opened in September 2023, offering its students Rugby’s academic and co-curricular programmes, leading to IGCSE and A-level studies, and access to the world’s leading universities. A Rugby education focuses upon the importance of developing the whole person.
Rugby is renowned for its highly successful and innovative approach to education. As a coaching school we are looking for staff who are committed to a professional obligation to improve as teachers and who value personal growth.
The School is a boarding and day school in full operation seven days per week including evenings during term time. Pastoral, co-curricular, cultural and sports activities take place outside normal day-school hours and all staff are expected to contribute.
