"Look at other options in the area before you make a decision. The High School has very few students and the academic standards are not particularly high. The school recently went through a very difficult time financially and the Board seems to have a problem with retaining members. Many families stay for around 2 - 3 years and then move on," remarked one expat living in Rotterdam with children attending American International School of Rotterdam.
