Schools that follow the Dutch national curriculum in the Netherlands teach to the country’s national attainment standards and are typically run as public or government-subsidised schools or as bilingual/international streams inside those schools, rather than as independent British- or IB-only institutions. Many of these programmes teach core subjects in Dutch while offering growing Tweetalig Onderwijs (TTO) bilingual options or dedicated English-language support, and some international campuses explicitly combine the Dutch curriculum with International Primary Curriculum elements. Fees for subsidised or Dutch-subsidised international options are generally in the lower mid-range for international education, while fully private international schools remain substantially more expensive; published guides commonly show a clear gap between mandatory parental contributions at subsidised schools and higher private tuition levels. Admissions run year-round but follow a practical rhythm tied to term dates and local residency paperwork, so relocating families should open enquiries as soon as their move is confirmed, gather school reports and passports, and ask about Dutch-language support and placement testing before arrival.
