We have worked with many parents based in The Netherlands who are keen for their children to discover the wonderful opportunities available at the best boarding schools in England for Dutch students and improve their English skills.
We know that there are many excellent schools in The Netherlands, such as the International School Eerde, but experiencing life in another country is an excellent way to enhance your child’s education. Our schools offer a truly international feel, in historic settings where there are limitless opportunities to get involved in all aspects of school life.
Two other benefits that make the UK so appealing is the short journey time to get here and the fact that many boarding schools also offer the International Baccalaureate (IB), meaning students can seamlessly dip in and out of their studies in a familiar education setting without hindering their longer-term learning back home.
