Holland International School (the “School”) is located in inspiring and beautiful surroundings, where approximately 250 students are
guided to reach their full potential.
Our school’s culture and educational approach truly set us apart from other international schools in Singapore. Rooted in our belief that happiness leads to excellence, we create an environment where students feel inspired, supported, and empowered to thrive. Through an inquiry-based yet structured approach, students are encouraged to take ownership of their learning by setting personal goals, exploring areas of interest, and developing a deep love for discovery. At the same time, they grow as collaborative, globally
minded learners who understand the value of community and connection.
We offer both UK and Dutch curricula and are on the path to accreditation for the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC) and the International Primary Curriculum (IPC). Both our 100-year-old Dutch Stream and recently introduced English Stream ensure children can look forward to a rich and engaging learning environment underpinned by our philosophy of education.
Our teachers personalise learning by recognising each child’s unique strengths, needs, and talents. By nurturing curiosity, confidence, and joy in learning, we ensure every student is supported in reaching their fullest potential.
The Principal/Head of School will oversee all aspects of teaching and learning, staff development and well-being, community relations, and financial and operational performance. The role requires a visionary leader who can balance educational excellence with sustainable growth, in particular by driving increased student enrolment. This role will report directly to the Board of Directors of the school.
Responsibilities
The overall responsibility of the Principal/Head of School is to bridge our Academic and Business results into one successful Holland International School. The person provides strategic leadership by translating the vision, mission, and long-term strategy into actionable school-wide plans, while offering informed recommendations and data-driven insights to the Board to support ongoing strategic development. In practice, this means you collaborate with the Academic Lead and Business Lead, forming a cohesive Management Team.
In conjunction with the Board, you will develop a new or revised strategy to set the direction of Holland International School for the coming five years.
