Hello!
Thank you for your interest in joining the Beacon School team.
About the School:
Opened in 2010 and authorized by the International Baccalaureate Organization as an IB Continuum School, Beacon School educates more than 1,600 students, from Early Childhood Education to High School.
At Beacon, we offer an international bilingual education that embraces global perspectives while honoring our Brazilian roots. We promote integrated learning in Portuguese and English, languages that shape our students' communication and identity at all levels. We are committed to fostering critical and curious thinkers dedicated to transforming society into a more ethical and peaceful one in the 21st century.
We are seeking a dedicated IB Diploma Program (DP) Coordinator to join our High School leadership team.
The DP Coordinator oversees the IB Diploma Program curriculum from Year 10 through Year 12, serving as an instructional leader to steer the school’s efforts toward delivering consistently high-quality learning experiences. The ideal candidate will cultivate an inclusive environment in which diversity is welcomed, academic excellence is pursued, and students learn to demonstrate leadership and take ownership of their actions. Working closely with peers across the school, the DP Coordinator ensures a coherent and connected learning continuum and seamless curricular integration between the IB DP and the Brazilian National Curriculum (BNCC).
