About international schools in Rotterdam, Netherlands

British-curriculum international schools in and around Rotterdam generally offer an English-language education based on the English National Curriculum, often adapted for an international student body and delivered alongside internationally recognised exam routes. Many local providers combine British frameworks with international programmes, and several prepare pupils for Cambridge IGCSEs and either A-levels or alternative final-stage qualifications. Fees in the Rotterdam area vary widely between providers, with directory listings showing a range from roughly €4,200 up to about €28,000 per year and averages in the low-to-mid five-figure euros. Dutch lessons and EAL (English as an Additional Language) support are commonly available, and admissions are typically managed on a rolling basis so families should begin enquiries and assemble recent school reports and identification several months before moving.

FAQs for Netherlands

What does 'British curriculum' mean at schools in Rotterdam?
In this context it usually means the school teaches an adapted English National Curriculum in English, organised by key stages and assessing pupils with internationally recognised qualifications such as Cambridge IGCSEs at age 14 - 16 and A-levels or other post-16 routes thereafter. Many schools tailor the curriculum for an international cohort and may mix in international programmes or bespoke pathways in senior years.
What ages and qualifications do these schools cover?
British-style international schools in the Rotterdam region commonly cover early years through to sixth form, roughly ages 3 to 18, with Early Years/Foundation provision, primary key stages, lower-secondary IGCSE study and post-16 options such as A-levels or international diploma programmes. Exact age ranges and the final qualifications offered vary by school, so check each school’s stated pathways for Years 12 - 13.
How much should we expect to pay for a place?
Tuition fees in the area vary substantially between providers and by the pupil’s age; recent directory listings for British-curriculum schools serving Rotterdam show an approximate range from €4,200 to around €28,000 per year with average fees in the low-to-mid five-figure euros. Additional costs such as enrolment fees, school transport, meals and exam charges are commonly extra, so ask schools for a full fee schedule and the refund/pro-rata policy for mid-year starts.
Will my child learn Dutch, and is language support provided?
English is the usual language of instruction, but many schools include Dutch lessons in the curriculum and offer EAL support for learners who need to build their English. The depth and timing of Dutch tuition and the scale of language support differ between schools, so request the school’s language policy and examples of how EAL learners are integrated and assessed.
When should we apply and what documents or assessments are typically required?
Admissions are commonly handled on a rolling basis, but because places can be limited and some year groups fill early you should contact schools several months before your intended move. Expect to submit recent school reports, passport/ID, proof of address and sometimes records of vaccinations; many schools also carry out an English language check or placement assessment and may invite a short interview or trial day.
