Rio De Janeiro - School Report Question and Answers

Are the teachers at the school required to speak English as a first language--or at least fluently?

EARJ has many, many local hires as main classroom teachers and in my opinion their English is not fluent enough to be an American School homeroom teacher. Most of the elective teachers have very limited English skills and the Portuguese teachers do not speak English at all. - Oct 2018
