Primary & Secondary Education
Nothing matters more than your child's education,
so finding the right fit matters just as much.
Moving into a new country is a big step, and choosing the right school for your child can feel overwhelming. With so many different options, new systems, and factors to consider, it's not always clear where to start.
​
We support expat families in navigating the Dutch education landscape and finding a school where their child will feel confident, supported, and at home.
- Carefully selected school recommendations based on your child and family priorities
- Clear guidance on different curricula and school systems (IB, British, AP, Dutch, and more)
- Insight into school environments, teaching styles, and communities
- Support during the admissions process (timelines and expectations)
How We Can Help
Choosing a school is not only about academics, it's about finding the right environment for your child to grow, settle, and at home in a new country.
​
We work closely with expat families to understand not only their academic goals, but also personality, learning style, and the kind of environment your child will thrive in. On top of this, we figure out what is most important for you. We work with you to navigate what works best for your family.

Choosing a school in a new country can feel overwhelming. This personalised session is designed to help you understand your options and find the right environment for your child. We discuss your child’s needs, your preferences, and your situation, then guide you through the different school systems in the Netherlands and what to consider when making your choice. You’ll receive a personalised report with recommended schools and clear next steps, helping you move forward with clarity and confidence.
This comprehensive service includes everything from the School Journery plan, with added hands on support throughout your school search. Alongside the consultation and report, we help arrange and assist school visits. We provide a list of relavant questions to ask during the school visit, ensuring you get the most out of this opportunity. We will be with you every step of the way, until your child steps into their new classroom.

Common Parent FAQs
How do I know which type of school is right for my child?
The right school depends on factors like personality, academic background, and language level. We help you compare International versus Dutch schools to find the best fit for your children.
Will my child be able to adapt to a new school and environment?
Relocating is a big step, but choosing the right environment makes a significant difference. We prioritize your child's comfort and social needs to ensure a smooth transition.
International Schools vs. Dutch Schools – what should we choose?
International schools offer familiar curricula for easier transitions, while Dutch schools provide deeper local integration. We help you weigh these options based on your family's long-term plans.
When should we start with the application process?
It is best to start as early as possible since many schools have waiting lists. We guide you through realistic timelines and help you prioritize your next steps.
What if we are unsure if we are moving yet?
That is completely okay and very common for relocating families. We can still help you narrow down school clusters and areas based on your priorities as your plans solidify.
