A modern Dutch language school in Amsterdam
Why a pilot Dutch course?
I want to build this Dutch language school together with my students.
The pilot allows me to test methods, improve materials, and shape the future of the school. Student feedback directly influences:
- teaching methods
- learning materials
- classroom experience
- and the long-term vision
Pilot August & October
This pilot is the first step toward building a new kind of Dutch language school in Amsterdam.

What level am I - A1 or A2?

Not for A1! A1 is designed for complete beginners. For A2 you should have some basic knowledge of Dutch.

Classes take place at Oudeschans 21, 1011 KS in Amsterdam Centrum. It is easy to reach by public transport and centrally located in the heart of Amsterdam.
What if I miss a class?
You will receive the presentation slides and materials for every lesson, so you can catch up in your own time.
