Primary International Department
Our Primary International Department provides education for temporary international residents and Dutch nationals with prior experience in international schooling (please review the admission policy on our OpenApply page) The curriculum is based on the core standards of the UK National Primary Curriculum for Literacy and Mathematics. Foundation subjects are integrated into theme-based units and taught using an inquiry-based learning approach to foster curiosity and critical thinking.

Primary Dutch Bilingual Department
The Primary Dutch Bilingual Department serves local residents (with Dutch or international backgrounds) as well as international residents planning a longer-term or permanent stay in the Netherlands. This department follows the Dutch national curriculum and incorporates theme-based learning to deliver an engaging and well-rounded educational experience. The Primary Dutch Bilingual is a bilingual primary school, teaching 30% in English and 70% in Dutch. The Primary Dutch Bilingual is located at our ISE Jan Luikenstraat Campus.

Students aged 11–16 follow the five-year IB Middle Years Programme (MYP), which builds a strong foundation in academics and personal skills. Students aged 16–18 continue with the two-year IB Diploma Programme (DP), renowned for its academic rigor and focus on holistic development.
