The Netherlands is home to a plethora of schools and even school systems: British, French, German, American, American-International, Japanese, European, International, Dutch-International…oh, and Dutch. Even within the one system there can be a lot of options to choose from.

And that’s just the start of it. What about those placement tests? Which schools will offer the best support for switching between systems and integrating into the new academic and cultural environment? And what about after-school care?

For families with young children, choosing the right crèche, and securing a place in it for the little one, can be a further challenge.

Making all these choices, and making the choices work, can be a bit overwhelming but it doesn’t have to be. Far from it: we can help your staff members with school-age children to exploring the most suitable options. And again, that exploration begins well before the family leaves their home country.

Here are just some of the ways we can help with:

1. making initial inquiries about applicable fees, placement tests, and the availability or otherwise of places
2. accompanying the staff member and their family on school visits
3. in cases where the employer subsidises tuition, finding out what the staff member’s responsibilities are
4. offering support with the application process
5. for families with little ones, offering advice and support in choosing the right crèche and submitting the application
6. exploring options for after-school care, and offering support with the application
