Public School ALTs in Nagaizumi city, Shizuoka

Nagaizumi is a town of only 40,000 people but is nestled between Numazu city (200,000) and Mishima city (100,000) and not far from Fuji city as well. This a very nice area on the northern end of the Izu penninsula with a daily view of Mt. Fuji.

We would prefer our ALTs to live in or near the towns they work in but commuting in from other areas is not out of the question. Driving is preferred but this position does not actually require driving as the schools are not very spread out and can be accessed by train, bike or on foot as well from center of town.

ALTIA CENTRAL enjoys an excellent reputation and is a highly respected company both with Boards of Education and amongst the English teaching community in Japan. Most of our ALT positions are in prefectures such as Aichi, Shizuoka, Gifu, Mie and Shiga in central Japan, as well as other positions south of here in Osaka, Okayama and Hiroshima prefectures. Our ALT positions offer the opportunity to join a great company and experience working in the public school system. You get a chance to learn and use the Japanese language on a daily basis, to experience and appreciate cultural differences, and most importantly to be positively involved with the development of young children.
