Why here
We are an international early-years school founded by a study-abroad company. You would work at RaJA GLOBAL ACADEMY in Koraicho.
Office work here is varied and there is a lot to learn, but we teach you properly. If the teachers are having fun, the children have even more — that is the founder’s rule for the workplace. You can also pick up a language straight from our teachers from overseas.
Who we are looking for
Comfortable with Word and Excel basics, positive, and someone who enjoys learning. If you are curious about languages and cultures and get on with anyone, even better.
1 year of office experience (preferred)
English (welcome, not required)

Raises and bonuses possible, based on performance
Commuting by car is fine
Good to know
Please come to the interview in everyday clothes, so the children are not startled by a suit.
Whatever the job — childcare teacher, cook, language teacher — many of our staff bring their own children to the school they work at. Plenty of them started out as parents here, and they stay on after their children graduate.
RaJA runs on that kind of care. It is the people who keep pace with us, feeling the same way, who make the quality of the teaching and the value of each day here.

Nine ways we workわたしたちの、9つの働き方
What RaJA’s staff hold to, every day on the floor.
01
Throw out habits and assumptions
“We do it because we always have” — clinging to traditions and values just because they are hard to change is pointless.
02
Trust, and hand it over
If the job were simply to do what the head of school says, what would a childcare qualification be for?
03
A mistake is a chance to think bigger
A “failure” is only today’s result. The moment you ask what to do next, it is no longer the worst thing — it turns into learning. In life there is only success or learning, and this is a place to work with that frame of mind.
04
Don’t judge
Across the group, one person in five comes from outside Japan. The point is not to feel the world’s differences as something odd, but to enjoy them. None of us is perfect enough to judge others by our own yardstick. We are grateful to have people to understand and to learn from.
05
Back to why
Childcare is raising people. Being part of the years that build someone’s foundation is not only fun, and there will be days when it is hard. Those are the days to remember why you chose this work.
06
Choose what feels good
When in doubt, choose what makes your heart glad — enjoyment is catching. Children have no walls in their hearts, no prejudice. Let the adults show them a world without walls, and let’s fly around it together.
07
Stop fossilising
Resting on your qualifications or your years of experience is the end. A professional is someone who keeps learning and grows richer with the years — and that light is in the children’s best interest too.
08
Keep thinking
Every child in front of you is different; what worked last time may not work for the next child, and that is everyday life here. Assume the current way is not necessarily the best one, and keep thinking. Let’s work out a better environment together, and build it.
09
Stories change as they pass along
Take your questions to someone who can give a constructive answer. Told to the wrong person, a small question grows branches, turns into trouble, and costs you trust.

Recruitment brochure (benefits)2026–2027For anyone thinking of joining us: the benefits, and comments from the teachers who work here. In Japanese.
We do not ask for a particular level of English, but loving English matters.
At interview we will ask how you think about caring for children.
Please bring something to write with (no erasable friction pens).
There is a questionnaire to fill in.
Children are not raised by advanced childcare technique. However fluent someone is, and however good their care, without ethics and a moral sense they are not the human environment RaJA wants to be. Through talking with you we hope to glimpse your inner character and your bearing; we are looking for people who will bring the same warmth to the philosophy and direction we hold to.

No suit or formal wear, please — everyday clothes are fine. Come in something clean and reassuring for a child to be around.
There may be interns with us from junior high, high school, university or vocational college — thank you for understanding.
