Working at the Hoorn branch
At Vonk Hoorn, we believe that education is truly powerful when it is designed to be inspiring, personalised, and future-oriented.
Didactic coaching forms the practical pedagogical and didactic translation of our educational ambitions. It strengthens pupils, students, participants, teachers, and the school culture by working from high expectations, activating questions, and learning-promoting feedback. It stimulates self-regulation, engagement, and social-emotional growth and builds a strong feedback culture within our learning organisation.
We have everything under one roof: VMBO and MBO. This offers unique opportunities, such as access to the Vonk greenhouses, the school library, the green hotspot, the VonkLab, and the technical hall, where we encourage innovation and practice-oriented learning. Our 550 pupils and 500 students are challenged to achieve their best. In addition, we offer education for working adults via Lifelong Development, so that learning never stops.
With over 150 colleagues, we work together to provide inspiring education. The location is close to the train station and the A7, so you can get there in no time!
