You are a highly qualified language specialist, passionate about additive bilingualism, skilled at diagnosing individual language needs and supporting progress with engaging. You are also experienced in scaffolding language for learning at all levels; this is the ideal position for you!
Join our evolving EAL department and you will have the opportunity to contribute your own ideas to support language development across the curriculum. You will be based at our Senior School in Voorschoten, just outside of The Hague, from August 2018.
