Our school implements the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) to seamlessly integrate Dutch and UK curricula through thematic units lasting six weeks, where IPC and social/emotional lessons are taught cooperatively in both Dutch and English. 

Following a structured format, weeks 1 through 5 involve introduction and exploration, culminating in summary and review in week 6. Although not strictly a Montessori School, we adopt Maria Montessori's philosophy, catering to each child's ability rather than age through mixed-age classes and small group lessons, utilizing Montessori materials.

This approach fosters bilingualism, enabling students to transition smoothly between Dutch and English, facilitating seamless integration into any Dutch or International school. As an official Language Friendly School, we value all languages and cultures equally, recognizing the benefits of embracing students' home languages in enhancing learning, self-confidence, and academic performance.

The IPC, designed to engage and enrich primary-aged learners, focuses on 7 foundations for improving learning, incorporating educational research to ensure effectiveness and adaptability in various contexts.
