The American School in Japan

ASIJ is now welcoming applications for the 2021-22 school year. ASIJ does not prefer one recruiting agency over the other. However, we do expect all applicants to have a complete set of confidential references with one of these two recruiting agencies that we can easily access. ASIJ will not seriously consider applications from candidates who have not bothered to activate files with either Search Associates or ISS-Schrole. ASIJ will also conduct a thorough set of verbal reference checks for any candidate we seriously consider for the appointment.
