What teachers and parents say

Positives

  • Supportive and dedicated teachers who are frequently commended by parents and students for giving extra academic help and responsive care.
  • Affordable IB continuum education compared to fully private international schools, due to being a state-subsidized Dutch international school.
  • Diverse, welcoming community with good inclusion efforts and expanding support for students with additional learning needs.

Negatives

  • Facility and IT infrastructure frustrations, notably recurring complaints regarding school Wi-Fi reliability, strict laptop policies, and temporary space constraints.
  • Strict Dutch eligibility criteria, where state regulations limit enrollment primarily to temporary expat families rather than long-term or local residents.
