Academics
The World School offers the Dutch curriculum. As a result, our curriculum meets the national learning and core objectives set by the government to ensure quality education.
Our education is supervised by the Education Inspectorate, which guarantees that your children not only receive a Dutch education, but also at a high level. We are also officially affiliated to the Dutch Education Abroad Foundation (Stichting NOB).
Like any school, our pupils receive a final report at the end of the academic year. Parents and pupils can view the grades and average at any time via a digital learning environment. In addition, a progress meeting is held with the teacher, during which, among other things, the grade list and results are discussed.
Would you like to obtain a vmbo-tl, havo or vwo diploma abroad? That is possible through the World School! We will train your child up to the state examination. In senior secondary vocational education (vmbo), your child will choose a sector, while in senior secondary vocational education (havo or vwo) a profile will be chosen, similar to regular education in Dutch. Your child can take the exam and obtain a Dutch diploma or part certificate.
