OIS Parent-Teacher Association

The uniqueness of our Two School model sets us apart from every other school in Japan and indeed the world.

The faculty and staff who jointly founded OIS and SIS understood this and established an ethos to match it. This continues today with professional educators, administrators and staff who understand why we are here and what it is that give our schools a particularly important role in the world of international education. Our teachers and staff look for challenges and rise to them, they revel in new opportunities, they learn from each other, and they continue to hone their crafts. Students give a school its energy, parents and the community its support; but it is the professionals working here who build momentum and provide inspiration. And with inspired students, the possibilities are boundless.

Both OIS and SIS are interested in hearing from professionals working in education who think that they might fit our profile.

The OIS Difference

OIS is unique - the Two Schools Together ethos means not only is it a great school to work in and is challenging in all the ways that a good international school is, but it also needs professionals willing to engage with the local community and Japanese culture. We welcome inquiries from talented teachers who care about our students. Our teachers are not overburdened with too many classes. The expectation is that faculty will hold high standards for our students and commit to their well being by participating in our highly popular after school sports and club activities.
