About a year ago, a new concept private school for children with learning disabilities (LD), ADHD, and other problems started up in Fukuoka, Japan. The school accepts kids from kindergarten age to high school age at the moment and has a broad based western style curriculum with English as its main language.  The school aims to keep the teacher student ratio at 1:3 or less as far as possible with a maximum ratio of 1:5 thereby enabling the student to get more personalized education and training.  The aims of the school are many but its priorities are as follows….

  1. Raising a child’s confidence so that they can fit into modern day society with the least amount of problems
  2. Teaching proper behaviour and interaction when with people
  3. Raising their attention and endurance span
  4. Getting them to a level in English, Mathematics and other subjects in order that they can go abroad for further studies if they so desire

We are looking for a HEAD TEACHER (male or female) who has the following experience and qualifications…those who do not have actual working experience or/and qualifications to deal with LD or ADHD kids PLEASE do not waste your time by applying.  The position will be available starting around the beginning of April 2010.  A good salary and incentives will be offered from the start for the right candidate with the potential for growth in the very near future.  The first 6-12 months there would be a probation period to access the performance, abilities and input of the Head Teacher.

If you feel that you can give the children in our school more than you take and have the right qualifications then please send us a complete detailed c.v. (The stereotyped one including your picture) and a covering letter (definitely not stereotyped) that tells us more about the kind of person you are and what kind of contribution in terms of work and knowledge you think you could bring to the school.
