This is what you actually get.
Three real extracts from the Netherlands Intelligence Pack — the school directory, the bilingual letter templates, and the admissions cheatsheet. This is the level of detail inside.
OBS De Notenkraker
One of the most accessible ISK entry points in Amsterdam-Oost. The school has a dedicated newcomer coordinator who speaks English and German. Register as soon as you have your BSN — do not wait for DigiD. Mid-year intake is possible but spaces fill fast after September. Ask specifically for de schakelklas coördinator when calling.
The full directory contains 15 verified schools across 5 cities with the same level of detail — direct contacts, insider notes, ISK/ITK status, and 2026 intake windows.

Real results from real families
"We had no idea ISK and ITK were different things. We nearly put our 9-year-old in the wrong stream. The cheatsheet saved us from a very confusing first year."
"The schooladvies appeal letter worked. My son got HAVO instead of VMBO-TL. The legal citation in the template was exactly what the school needed to reconsider."
"The BSN sequence guide alone was worth it. We did everything in the wrong order and lost three weeks. This pack would have saved us that entirely."
