laydeefoxAre you kids still at the British school - has it improved at all? Looking at relocating to Amstelveen but nervous about the schooling. I have 2 girls both of whom are in the mid-higher ability in their years at primary. Concerned that with a large proportion of students having Enlish as their second language - is their the possibility of my own kids not being challenged enough?
