Finding a school in the Netherlands
from Amsterdam to The Hague

A school system designed for both locals and international families

The Netherlands is one of the most internationally-minded countries in Europe. English is widely spoken, international schools are well-established (particularly in The Hague and Amsterdam), and the state system has built in a formal bilingual option — TTO — specifically for families who want English-medium education within the state sector.

The Dutch secondary streaming system (VMBO/HAVO/VWO) is one of the more significant differences from the British or American model. Understanding where it fits — and where your child is likely to land within it — is something we help families navigate early.
