Can my child attend ISU

ISU helps to provide continuity of education for internationally mobile students.

Admission to ISU is open to all students who can successfully access and benefit from the academic programmes offered. We are here for internationally mobile students from all over the world who can demonstrate a need for international education, and who will be based in the Netherlands for a temporary period. Children of Dutch nationals returning to the Netherlands are eligible to apply if they have lived and gone to school abroad for at least 2 years.

We teach the IB Programmes

At ISU we have chosen to teach the International Baccalaureate programmes, as we believe in their educational philosophy. It is a student-centred, inquiry based approach to teaching and learning which gives our students agency. This means that students are actively involved in their own education and in the school community.
