The British School of Amsterdam is an independent co-educational non-profit school providing world class teaching and learning for children from 3 to 18. Based in in the south of the city of Amsterdam, the school is organised into three sections: Early Years (3-6 years), Juniors (6-11 years) and Seniors (11-18 years) each with its own Head and team of staff. We currently have 1,100 pupils across the school. The British School is directed by a whole school leadership team comprising the Principal, Bursar and the Heads of the Early Years, Junior and Senior Schools. The Support Department consists of admissions, data management, finance, IT, facilities, catering, marketing and HR. Our school offers a stimulating and caring environment, enabling all children to realise their full potential academically and to develop the skills and confidence for a fulfilling and responsible life in a changing society. We believe that education should nurture a love of learning, a sense of curiosity, a sense of self-worth and the worth of others, a global awareness and a sense of responsibility. As a school, we seek to develop inquiring, imaginative, fascinated, knowledgeable and caring young people with an eagerness for knowledge and a sense of value. Together, we aim to provide young people with the skills they will need to make informed choices in a moral context throughout the rest of their lives. As a British international school, we are proudly non-selective with high expectations of all pupils and staff. Our staff are the school's greatest asset; they are professional, caring, committed and work together, whatever their role, to provide the best possible education for the children in our care.
