What is the name of your child's school? (Please report on one school per survey.)

British School of Amsterdam

In what town or city is this school located?

Amsterdam

How would you describe this school? (i.e. American, British, International, Local, etc.)

British mainly, with many other cultures

What grade levels are represented at this school?

Nursery to year 9

How do most children get to school everyday? (bus, train, walk, etc.)

Most people live locally, so bike or walk..however there is a minibus service (at cost) and you can drive there

How would you describe the facilities at this school? What extra-curricular activities are available?

The facilities are amazing, with everything you could ask for

What has this school done to help your child transition from the curriculum in your home country into the curriculum in your new country? Are there programs to prepare your child for repatriation?

I actually went to the school myself, as I'm sneakily not a parent and thought I'd complete a survey anyway. I joined the school in year 4, and fitted in within a week, in fact I came home on the first day, and couldn't wait to go back the next day. I couldn't fault the school, and it has definitely broadened my understanding, and acceptance of other cultures. The school welcomes you from the moment you arrive and the staff are all so friendly. I assure you, your child will love it there, all of us did..and I'm still sad to be home again.

What advice would you give to someone considering enrolling their child in this school?

ENROLL THEM!! DONT MISS OUT ON THE OPPORTUNITY- ITS AMAZING
