About Castor College
Het Castor College is a comprehensive school offering MAVO, HAVO, Atheneum, and Gymnasium levels, with its central promise: "We see you!" We work together daily to fulfil this promise: everyone – pupils, teachers, and support staff – contributes to ensuring you feel seen, known, and taken seriously within our school community. we see diversity as a strength; every pupil is welcome, can be themselves, and is given the space to grow according to their abilities and ambitions.
We are developing a contemporary curriculum step by step, in which, in addition to regular subject lessons, there is also room for cross-curricular and project-based work. In our lessons, we consciously integrate citizenship, so that pupils not only acquire knowledge but also learn to think critically, collaborate, take responsibility and find their place in a diverse society. In the coming years, we want the experience of “We see you” to be felt even more strongly in all these components.
Our school is at the beginning of an inspiring development period. With Groeikracht from Stichting Leerkracht, we are working together on a professional culture in which collaboration, ownership, and continuous improvement are becoming increasingly self-evident. As a team, we are curious, we want to learn, and we explore together what works in the classroom. We experiment, give each other feedback, and build better education step by step – with enjoyment and with impact, always with “We see you” as our guiding compass for the coming year.
Collaboration is essential in this. Every teacher is a (dual) mentor and regularly consults with mentors of the same year group. In addition, we work in subject departments, clusters, and projects such as vwo+, language and numeracy skills, and internationalisation. We actively involve both colleagues and students in new developments; students participate in thinking and doing within committees and projects, so they too are co-creators of a school where you feel seen.
We believe in everyone's potential for growth, allowing for mistakes, and being able to address each other respectfully throughout the entire school. As a training school, we consciously invest in the development of (new) colleagues through guidance, coaching, lesson observations, and peer support. In this way, we strive to achieve the same for our staff as for our students: We see you – and we will continue to build on that together, even more explicitly next year, every single day.
