font-weight: bold\">Teaching at Canadian Academy: </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Canadian Academy teachers inspire minds and nurture compassion by providing a rich and engaging programme that develops students’ skills, promotes curiosity and love of learning, and prioritizes well-being. All students follow the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) from PK3 to Grade 5 and the Middle Years Programme (MYP) in Grades 6-10, and most students pursue the IB Diploma Programme (DP) in Grades 11 &amp; 12, although 10-20% each year opt for a more personalized pathway to graduation that includes a mix of DP and other courses and leads to a CA Diploma. Teaching and learning are enriched by opportunities for exploration in the arts, athletics, outdoor education, service, and more.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">CA is a highly collaborative professional environment, where innovation is encouraged and student learning and well-being drive everything we do. Subject and grade teams work closely together and learn from one another, and opportunities for professional development abound. A low student-teacher ratio and a stimulating, well-resourced, technology-rich environment make this an exceptional place to teach. Our teachers get to know their students well, both in and out of the classroom, and work together to ensure that every student is appropriately challenged and supported.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><br></span><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">What We Offer:</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">In addition to incredible experience in a well established IB school, you’ll receive:</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">A competitive salary paid in Japanese yen.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Comprehensive medical coverage in Japan</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Access to excellent in-house professional development</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">IB workshop training related to your teaching grade/subject–a sought-after credential for many international opportunities</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">One-to-one support from a dedicated faculty mentor.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Round-trip flights to your overseas home of record at the start and end of each annual contract. For Japanese nationals, this may include round-trip transportation by shinkansen.</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Associate Teachers who live more than 100km away from Canadian Academy at time of hire will be classified as “distance hires”, while those recruited from within 100km will be classified as “regional hires”. </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">For “distance hires”, we also provide:</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Comprehensive support in securing a Japanese work visa and meeting immigration requirements (we cannot support visas for partners/dependents, however)</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Furnished housing, likely in a shared two-bedroom apartment</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">An extra baggage and settling-in allowance.</span></li>\n</ul>",
