Amity International School Amsterdam
Empowering our students to thrive is at the core of everything we do. Amity International School Amsterdam is a family-oriented school, proud of the connections with our wider community and Amity Education Group. We are still growing and are ambitious to be a school at the forefront of impactful teaching and learning.
We are an IB World School for the Primary Years Programme, Middle Years Programme and the Diploma Programme. IB World Schools share a common philosophy- a commitment to high-quality, challenging, international education- that we believe is important for our students.
Our curriculum is based on the principle that children’s best learning happens when they are engaged and emotionally involved in their education when it is meaningful to them and relates to the world around them. At Amity Amsterdam our students’ educational experiences will be individualised based on their skills, abilities, interests, needs and learning styles. A fundamental part of our curriculum is the opportunity to go out into the real world, to talk to experts and have a ‘hands on’ experience. This enables children to form a personal connection with their education and deepens their understanding, transforming learning into something vivid and real.
