Does anyone have much information about this school? salary, benefit and basically is it a top school?
Ive been invited to interview with them next month but make good money where I am (6.5 million yen). Only reason I am considering leaving is because Ive been told Nishimachi just under ASIJ an Yokohama as the best schools in Japan.
Thank you

I wouldnt say they were a top school, id say they were an upper tier 1 school. Depends where your coming from.

Re: Nishimachi International School Japan
Any updates on this school. Nothing in a very long time on the paid side.
Re: Nishimachi International School Japan
I've heard some not-so-good things, can't really get into specifics here. PM might be better.
Re: Nishimachi International School Japan
Salaries flattened a little more, but thats happening all over Japan. Taxes went up, again happened all over Japan. Its still a very good school, and really no review is about as close as you get to a good review. Its still tier one.
Re: Nishimachi International School Japan
Personally, I would not call this a Tier 1 school - but what I think a Tier 1 school is different than the next person.
So is it a good school? Yes it is.
Can you save money? Definitely. But with an increase in taxes and lowering of the Yen, international savings have taken a hit.
Would I personally work at this school? Yes I would.
Note that quite a few embassy kids go here - but there is also a sizeable Japanese population. However, this is true of ALL international schools in Japan (apart from the embassy kids).
The best schools in Japan are probably ASIJ and YIS. This is closely followed in no particular order by: St Mary's, Seisen, Canadian Academy, Osaka Senri, Nishimashi and St Maur's.
