Choosing the right school is a big decision, and we’re here to help make it easier. Join one of our Virtual Open Days to explore what makes School Amsterdam unique, all from the comfort of your own home.

While we no longer host physical Open Days (except for Early Years Open Days and Trial Lesson Days), we believe that personal tours offer a more tailored experience, perfectly suited to our boutique school environment.

All our teachers have experience working with students whose first language is not English and are able to adapt the curriculum in order to support them. We also have a special programme for students whose home language is not English and who may require additional support. Based on the student’s language profile and previous educational experience, EAL support is allocated.

We embrace and embody the understanding that meeting the needs of a diverse group of learners starts with high-quality core curriculum and teaching practices. Our Student Support Programme builds on this high-quality curriculum and teaching by providing a range of supports that are tailored to meet the individual needs of students in reading, writing, maths, social-emotional development and functional skills. Amity International School Amsterdam also facilitates in-school access to speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, school psychologists and other local specialists. 

Before acceptance to our school, a case-by-case assessment is conducted by our Student Support Coordinator to evaluate whether our school can provide the right support.
