Jobs School Psychologist in South Korea 2026
Humphreys Middle School at Camp Humphreys, South Korea, is hiring a full-time seasonal 0403 School Psychologist for the 2026 period. This role functions within the Federal Education Association bargaining unit and provides specialized psychological support for the military-connected student population residing on base. Working in this environment requires an understanding of the unique stressors and needs of children within military families stationed overseas. You'll need to navigate the logistical aspects of federal employment, including the additional 15% Post Allowance (COLA) provided to offset the cost of living in South Korea.
To qualify for this position, you must be a U.S. citizen.
You need a master’s degree focused on school psychology practice.
This must include coursework in the foundations of special education and disabilities.
You are required to provide proof of completing at least 1,200 clock hours in a school psychology internship.
If you hold a current and valid National Certification in School Psychology (NCSP), these specific internship requirements are considered satisfied.
Your state teaching license must be unencumbered (no revocations, suspensions, or probationary statuses).
If you possess an encumbered license, you may still receive consideration if you qualify for military spouse preference under the Military Spouse Licensing Relief Act (MSLRA).
If you have education from a foreign institution, you must ensure it’s evaluated for equivalency to U.S. standards before applying.
The evaluation can be done by recognized services like the International Education Research Foundation or through the graduate division of a regionally accredited U.S. university.
Your application needs to demonstrate clear, detailed evidence of your experience (paid or unpaid, including volunteer work, community service, or student social work roles).
Your resume must explicitly list these hours and duties.
Transcripts are mandatory to verify your educational background.
Failure to provide complete documentation, including foreign degree translations if applicable, will lead to your application being discarded.
Living at Camp Humphreys involves adjusting to a high-security, dense military community. You're working directly for the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA), which means following strict federal regulations for school staff.
You'll spend your days conducting assessments, collaborating with special education teams, and supporting students' mental health needs in a middle school setting.
The school environment is multicultural and fast-paced, requiring you to be adaptable and ready to support transient families.
Check that all your certifications, including your internship documentation, are organized and ready for upload.
