International Schools in Amsterdam, Netherlands

Amsterdam’s international schools are a mixed ecosystem of English-language and bilingual (English - Dutch) programmes delivered by both state-supported international streams and private schools, with many offering the International Baccalaureate and a number offering British or other national curricula. Dutch municipal information and school sites show English as the most common language of instruction, with Dutch taught alongside and dedicated EAL/mother-tongue support for newcomers. Fees vary widely by provider: a typical headline tuition figure reported across Amsterdam schools is around €6,200 a year, with most schools charging in a broad band roughly between €4,700 and €18,400 and a small number of private programmes charging above €20,000 once capital and extra fees are included. Admissions generally follow the Dutch school year (places usually start in August/September), operate on rolling applications with waiting lists, and commonly require recent school reports and identity/residency documents, so families should start enquiries as early as possible.
