Teacher – Geography

Senior School Voorschoten is a thriving educational community where there is opportunity for all students to excel in a wide range of studies and activities. We have high expectations of our students and aim to equip them with the skills, qualifications and experience to be successful in the next phase of their lives.

We believe it is important that students can demonstrate engagement, imagination, and creativity in their work, which we encourage them to do through our broad curriculum and extensive enrichment programme.

We work tirelessly to ensure that teaching is of the highest quality and that learning is both interesting and fulfilling. At the BSN we value the individuality of all students whilst fostering teamwork and collective approaches to success.

LIVING IN THE NETHERLANDS

In the Netherlands, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to meet new people and socialise. The Netherlands offers a high standard of living with a good work/life balance.

The Netherlands is safe and stable, with well-connected transportation and good infrastructure.

There is a strong sporting tradition, but be warned, the weather is not always predictable! Fortunately, there are plenty of museums to visit when it rains, especially for the art enthusiast.
