Who are we?
At Curiosity Learning, we're on a mission to change the way the world thinks about the education system. We believe that lifelong learning is essential, but the traditional education system isn't doing enough to create curious, engaged learners. We're here to shake things up.
Our goal is to create an environment where learners are motivated by their own curiosity and eager to explore new ideas. We believe that learning should be fun, collaborative, and driven by the interests of the learners themselves. With Curiosity Learning, we're committed to transforming the education system on a global level, and we're just getting started.
Our story began with a high school student who, like so many others, became disenchanted with the traditional education system. They knew that there had to be a better way to learn, and he started the first Curiosity Club, a space within their school where learners can learn anything they are curious about through collaborative projects. Today, we're supporting high school students across the Netherlands in starting and running their own Curiosity Clubs, and we're looking for talented and passionate individuals to join our team.
We're already operating in several communities around the world, but we need your help to continue this global transformation. We're looking for people who share our vision and are committed to making a difference. If you're ready to join us on this exciting journey, please send your resume and a short paragraph as to why you are interested to apply@curiositylearning.org.
We can't wait to hear from you!

About Curiosity Learning
An after-school program run by students, for students all over the Netherlands. Empowering students to take control of their own learning.
OUR PHILOSOPHY: Life-long learners who are intrinsically motivated to learn are essential for a constantly developing and evolving society, yet the current educational system fails to recognize this in any significant way. Everyone is born with the natural desire to learn but there needs to be a space to allow this to happen. Curiosity Learning aims to do that through an after-school club for ages 11 and up called Curiosity Club.
Learners are encouraged to learn with, and from, one another through projects they are curious about. Learners choose any topic imaginable, think of a project to do within it, and structure their deadlines. Once finished, they showcase their project and talk about their process, inspiring other learners to explore topics they hadn’t previously thought about. Creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration are among the most valuable skills of the 21st century and Curiosity Club has a gathering place, internet access, and a guide to motivate youth to practice these skills.
The guide is a critical part of the club. They are 16 to 18-year-old students who don’t teach content, but instead, facilitate team-building, spark learners’ curiosity, and keep them accountable. Guides from different Curiosity Centers meet weekly to exchange ideas, support one another, and receive leadership workshops and resources.
We provided our members, students and guides with the tools necessary to lead a creative, collaborative life - life-long skills valuable in every field. Alongside an educational opportunity, Curiosity Club is a space for students to express themselves and become authentic learners with unique interests.
