Book excerpt: This short guide to the educational system in The Netherlands is intended to give you an introduction to what you need to know about the new educational system you are entering, such as the policies and infrastructure that govern local education, the funding mechanisms, and the curriculum. It also offers practical, everyday information on what is helpful to know, such as the informal codes around mealtimes, the structure of the school day, uniforms, and other cultural norms and expectations. There is so much in education that is culturally dependent; it is often these minor differences that can leave you feeling like a stranger in a strange land. We hope these guides will equip you and your children to start school with the confidence and knowledge to make the most of the unique and exciting opportunities offered by relocating. Since 1998, School Choice, an international educational consulting firm, has been helping families find the right schools wherever they move in the world. With more than 90 consultants on the ground in over 45 global locations, School Choice has the local knowledge and the international understanding of different educational systems worldwide to answer any questions on education.
