Secure Your Spot for School Year 2023/24

Are you still in search of the ideal school placement for the upcoming academic year? Don't delay; act now! Many schools in Amsterdam are already nearing capacity, making it imperative to secure your child's spot as soon as possible. The good news is that, in most cases, you don't require an address or BSN-number to initiate the school application process. These details typically become necessary further down the line.

Should your arrival date not align with the school year's start, rest assured that accommodations can be made for your child to begin later. However, please communicate with the school in advance. It's essential to remember that, starting from age 5, compulsory education applies in the Netherlands. For personalized guidance on school placements and more, explore our comprehensive school advisory packages on our Families page.

Extensive Resources at Your Disposal

To further assist you in making informed decisions about your child's education, we offer an array of resources. Our latest webinar delves into the intricacies of the Dutch education system, providing invaluable insights. Additionally, you can peruse a selection of articles on your school options, available on our website. Be mindful that during school vacations, most institutions are closed, with the exception of private international schools.
