Education in Netherlands

The Netherlands is renowned for its progressive and inclusive approach to education, consistently ranking among the top countries in international assessments. Dutch schools emphasise student wellbeing alongside academics, with a high degree of freedom in choosing teaching methods and materials.
Dutch education starts with basisonderwijs (primary, ages 4-12), followed by three secondary tracks: VWO (pre-university, 6 years), HAVO (higher professional, 5 years), and VMBO (vocational, 4 years). Schools have significant autonomy in their approach, and the system is known for its freedom of education principle. International schools in Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam and other cities serve the large expat community.
