ABOUT EERDE INTERNATIONAL BOARDING SCHOOL NETHERLANDS

Located on a tranquil country estate only one hour from Amsterdam, Eerde is the only international school in the Netherlands to offer day school, weekly boarding and full boarding facilities.

The learning experience at Eerde is international, intercultural and individual, with personal attention for each pupil, based on universal personal values. A place where children (aged 4-19) can learn, live and develop. Our small class sizes (maximum 15 students) ensure that we focus intensively on the development of each child.

Our Mission Statement

At Eerde, our mission is to help students develop into successful,
engaged and responsible young adults with strong global connections;
in possession of life-long learning skills and friendships forged for life.
We strive to provide our young people with the opportunity to develop
academically, athletically, artistically and ethically and to achieve their
full potential. Through offering a nurturing environment, in which
inquiry based and experiential learning, personal development and
diversity are valued, we aim to develop students who have the
confidence, ambition and skills they need to make a positive
difference.
