The team behind Foxhill Bilingual International School

School Director and Secondary school teacher

Philip Pearce

Hi! My name is Philip Pearce and I am extremely proud to say that I am the Director at our amazing school. I have worked at Foxhill since September 2023 when we first opened our Secondary school. I teach English, Maths, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, History, Geography, Music, Digital Competencies and Ethics. My favourite part of my job is seeing our students have their “lightbulb moments” – when something just clicks and they completely understand a topic! Teaching at Foxhill is unique, inspiring and ultimately incredibly fun.

I have been working passionately as a kindergarten teacher since 2002, and I am delighted every day to foster and support the progress and development of the children. As a mother of two myself, it fills my heart with joy to lead the Foxhill Kindergarten daily.

Servus! My name is Jake Myhill and I have the pleasure of teaching Maths, German, Biology, Physics, History, Geography, Music, Professional Orientation, Digital Competencies, Ethics, Sports, Cooking and Art to our wonderful secondary students. I joined Foxhill in September 2024 and am immensely grateful every day to be able to call such a fantastic school my place of work. Without a doubt the best part of my job is seeing the joy on the students’ faces when they finally “get” something.

Head of Primary and Primary school teacher

Annica Hein

Hello, my name is Annica. I have been at Foxhill since 2021, teaching primary school children in the subjects of German, Math, Science, and Ethics. No day at our school is the same, and that’s exactly what makes working together so exciting – often, the most valuable moments come from the unexpected and unplanned. For me, the relationship with the children is the most important thing. Only when this foundation is in place can learning truly begin.

Primary School Teacher

Siobhan Moore-Lynch

Hello! My name is Siobhan and I teach English and Maths to our wonderful primary school students. I believe that fostering strong, positive relationships with students is key to creating a safe and supportive environment where they can truly thrive. I am passionate about holistic education, which nurtures not only academic growth but also emotional, social and creative development. Every day with the students is filled with discovery, creativity and those unforgettable “aha!” moments. Teaching here is truly a joy and I feel lucky to be part of such a vibrant and inspiring community.

Pre-school teacher

Natalie Ann Hougnon

My name is Natalie Ann Hougnon, and I have both American and Luxembourgish heritage. Since September 2023, I have been an English Preschool Teacher at Foxhill Bilingual International School, working with children aged 3 to 6. I lived in Galway, Ireland, for over 12 years, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Children’s Studies, Sociological and Political Studies, a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care, and a Master’s in Social Work. I also completed a storytelling training program at Emerson College in East Sussex, igniting my passion for sharing stories with children. After my studies, I worked as a social worker on the Children in Care team in Ennis, Ireland, and in child protection in Ireland and Austria. I am honored to be part of the Foxhill Preschool team. Early childhood education is my passion, and I consider it a privilege to guide children through this remarkable stage of discovery.

As a passionate educator at Foxhill Bilingual International School, I specialize in fostering creativity, emotional growth, and inclusive learning. With a degree in International Teacher Education for Primary Schools (ITEps) from NHL Stenden University, I have gained practical experience in international schools across Europe (Belgium, Austria, Spain and Netherlands) working with children aged 3 to 11. Fluent in Spanish (native), English (C1-C2 certified), and intermediate in French, I bring a global perspective to the classroom, creating a positive environment where every child thrives.
