What is the name of your child's school? (Please report on one school per survey.)

In what town or city is this school located?
Amsterdam

International

Primary through to end of highschool (International Baccalaureate)
How do most children get to school everyday? (bus, train, walk, etc.)
Walk, bike, bus.
How would you describe the facilities at this school? What extra-curricular activities are available?
Not very well equipped. The main problem is the standard of education - the teaching is very bad. What's worse, they tell the parents not to get involved in helping the children at home. I think they want to hide how bad the education is.
How would you describe the social activities available for parents through this school? Are there parent-teacher organizations?
Yes but the morale and motivation of the staff is really poor. They couldn't be bothered.
What advice would you give to someone considering enrolling their child in this school?
Better to choose a different school if you have the money. If you don't have the money, choose a different country to live in (better that than ruin your child's education).
