Are you still looking for a school place for the new school year?

Many schools are already full, so arrange your spot asap. In most cases, you don’t need to have an address or BSN-number to apply for a school in the Netherlands (eventually, the school will need these details, but usually not from the very beginning).

When the summer vacation ends, depends on where you live. You can find all school vacations on the Schoolvakantie website.

If you cannot make the beginning of the school year, it is also ok for your child(ren) to start later – of course after discussing with the school. Also keep in mind that, from age 5, children are obliged to go to school.

Do you need help? More info about our school advisory packages you can find on the Families page.
