Additional Notes
I thoroughly enjoy working here - great students, coworkers, admin, location, workload... The school also accepts IB newbies and is willing to provide training. Literally my only complaint is that the salary is on the low side... but that is the trend in Japan right now. Salary is also paid all in yen, no USD.
