The Netherlands School Society

The Netherlands School Society is a Dutch primary school located in Nairobi, Kenya, established in 1971. It serves Dutch children in Nairobi by providing bilingual education in both Dutch and English within an international setting. The school combines the strengths of the Dutch educational system with an international approach, using the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) to deliver a broad and challenging curriculum. This thematic approach engages students and aligns well with the school's diverse student population, which includes over 20 nationalities, making it a 'national-international school.' The school emphasizes allowing children to be children, encouraging exploratory learning, and fostering responsibility for their own learning processes. It offers small class sizes with additional attention for special needs and extra challenges, ample play space, and a stimulating learning environment. The school also highlights strong parental involvement and opportunities for community interaction outside school hours. Alumni have expressed positive experiences, noting the school's supportive atmosphere and its role in preparing them for further studies in the Netherlands.
