At The British School of Amsterdam we provide a stimulating and caring environment for our pupils to allow them to reach their full potential which makes a career with us incredibly rewarding.
By joining our team, you are joining individuals who not only support pupils achieve academically, but recognise each pupil for their individual needs and talents. Our international school has a large proportion of staff that have been teaching here for many years. And the reason is simple, we love what we do.
As part of school life in The BSA, pupils are assigned to "houses" and compete in various ways throughout the school year to earn points for their house. Our houses are named after canals in Amsterdam and each have their own colour and mascot. At the end of the year, there is only one winner.
Haneef recently contributed to his house, Singel, 🦁🟡 by winning a table tennis competition. It was the first time also having Junior (Years 5 and 6) pupils competing, with a Year 6 pupil making it to the semi-final, and being knocked out by the ultimate champ. It was also a Year 7 pupil that made it to the final - a great effort from our younger competitors!
We'll have more exciting house activity later in the week! 👀 ... See MoreSee Less

Year 6 enjoyed a visit from Verkeer & Meer this week, where they used virtual reality (VR) to demonstrate the importance of traffic safety 🚦 a fitting workshop for Amsterdam #TrafficWeek.
It was a fun and engaging way for the pupils to consider the dangers of traffic and how they should react in certain scenarios. The VR sets let them experience different challenges they may face and moving through different levels of difficulty.
They had to navigate around large vehicles without clear sight of what was beyond it, and were given useful tips such as making eye contact with drivers when crossing roads to acknowledge each other's presence. ... See MoreSee Less
