This is not a teaching or clinical counseling position. It is a college admissions and career guidance role that requires direct experience counseling within an International or American curriculum school. Candidates whose experience is limited to ESL programs, bilingual schools, or Brazilian curriculum environments, even at the coordination or leadership level, are unlikely to meet the baseline for this position and will not be considered.
