For the most part, our teachers are native speakers of the language in which they instruct students.

When enrolling in the international section of the school, students are required to have a B2 level of English proficiency. For those students who do not meet the B2 level proficiency in Dutch, we offer Dutch ab initio (Dutch for beginners) as part of the international curriculum.

We offer Dutch as both a primary and secondary language within our curriculum. In the Dutch program, students also have the opportunity to study Spanish and German as additional language options. Within the international section of the school, students can choose to study either Dutch or any School Supported Self Taught (SSST) language. However, it's important to note that opting for an SSST language incurs additional costs.

We conduct meetings in English to assess whether the student's English language proficiency and educational background align with our criteria.

At the moment, we do not have a waiting list for the International Profile.

This is dependent on a variety of factors. During the Preparatory Year, it is generally easier to enroll mid-year. However, for the Diploma Programme, enrollment depends on the circumstances at that time.

Depending on the student's circumstances, this is indeed possible.
