IB Curriculum International Schools in Netherlands

IB schools are an important strand of international education in the Netherlands, offered both by partially state-funded ‘Dutch international’ schools and by fully private international schools, so you will find different price points and governance models under the same IB label. Many schools offer the IB continuum (PYP, MYP and DP) or parts of it, with English as the usual language of instruction alongside structured Dutch lessons and mother-tongue support for other languages. Annual tuition varies widely - from lower, government-subsidised rates up to modest fees, to private schools with substantially higher charges - so expect to compare published fees and additional costs (exam or enrolment charges) when budgeting. Demand peaks for the August/September school year start, waiting lists are common, and schools typically ask for recent school reports, passport/residency documentation and an intake meeting as part of the application process.
