4-19 IB

What advice would you give to someone considering enrolling their child in this school?
Don't bother. This school is only a few years old and has not settled down yet. Last year (2009) the first set of students sat the IB and not one passed. The fees buy you classes in English rather than classes in Dutch, but other than that you get nothing. If you can't afford the bona fide international schools then there are other options as cheap as this one - near Leiden and in Hilversum, which are much better and it would be worth either the commute for your child or settling there for the family. Both Leiden and Hilversum are very pleasant towns.
