Our school thrives on diversity, housing over 80 nationalities. We steadfastly promote a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

POSITION SUMMARY: The Director of College Admissions Advising is tasked with advising and preparing students for successful transitions to higher education institutions worldwide. This involves strategic program development, leadership in admissions advising, and a dedication to enhancing students' personal and academic growth.

REPRESENTATIVE DUTIES: These are representative duties and do not encompass every aspect of the role.

Enhanced Parental Engagement: Implement workshops and seminars for parents within the first six months to enhance their ability to support their children's educational and career decisions effectively. Attendance & Punctuality: Reliable, consistent attendance is required and an essential function of all staff positions.
