Dutch Mother Tongue Programme

We are the only international school in Singapore to offer an integrated Dutch Mother Language Programme combined with the International Baccalaureate for grades 1 to 12.

Our integrated Dutch Mother Tongue Programme will help your child achieve native-level proficiency in Dutch language and literature whilst benefiting from a truly international education. For families that move back to Europe, the programme allows your child to rejoin the Dutch school system almost seamlessly. Our Dutch-speaking graduates also have an advantage when applying to a Netherlands university.
