Newcomers
When you are moving to the Netherlands and your children don’t speak Dutch yet they can’t automatically go to a public, Dutch-speaking school. Children above the age of 6 need to attend language school first. A language school is a special temporary school with the main focus on learning the Dutch language. While learning Dutch, the children will also follow the regular curriculum and will therefore not necessarily fall behind. As soon as their Dutch level is good enough (the average period is one year), they can move to a public school in your neighbourhood.
The Centraal Informatie Loket (CIL) is an information office to help parents in Amstelveen and Ouderkerk find a primary school which is a good fit for their child. For more information, please go to their website.
