Hi all,
I’m a primary/elementary teacher currently looking to get into international school teaching next year. I’ve been trawling the various sites for jobs abroad, with Japan being one of my options among others for next year. I came across a job posting for Kumamoto International School in Japan and was wondering whether anyone on the sub would have any information regarding the school/what it’s like to work there/pay, etc. The salary posted is ¥ 4,140,000 to ¥ 5,544,000 per year (depending on experience). Is this a livable salary for a young single person living in Japan (I realise that salaries tend to be competitive over there due to high demand)? Seeing as I’m a fairly young teacher with only a few years experience I’m not expecting to land an amazing first gig but just want to know whether it would be doable/worthwhile for my first year teaching internationally.
Any information or insight you could provide is welcome – thank you!
