UWC ISAK Japan

Meet Our Faculty & Staff

UWC ISAK Japan brings together educators and staff from around the world, each contributing their own background, expertise, and perspective. As a fully residential school, involvement goes beyond the classroom. Both teaching and non-teaching staff join excursions, support student programmes, and are present in the day-to-day life of campus. We ask everyone here to live out our leadership model:

Identify what is most important and needed.
Take action in the face of discomfort.
Use diversity as a strength.
Support others in this practice.
