Please contact the school (ish@atscholen.nl) indicating the name(s) and date of birth of your child(ren). The Deputy Head will contact you as soon as possible. You are always welcome for a personal visit to the school, preferably with your child(ren). To prepare for this you may wish to take a virtual tour by clicking on ´slide show´ in the guest section of the website. We ask all applying students to send a copy of their last school reports, BRN number (Burger Registratie Nummer), copy of passport and a photograph. Once we have received the application form and school reports, in some cases the student will be invited to sit an entrance test. Based on the former school reports and the entrance test we will take a decision upon placement.
Can I arrive during the academic year?
We regularly receive new students in the course of the academic year. We try to ensure a smooth transition both academically and socially. Each class has a form teacher who will guide the new student during this transition phase. Each year group has a team leader, who works with the class mentor.
When are the holidays?
The dates for Summer-, Spring- and Autumn holidays in The Netherlands differ from one region to the other and from one year to the other. You will find the holidays dates for the current academic year at the calendar on this website. Or click here
Do all students follow the same academic programme?
In principal all students follow the same programme, with three modern languages (English, French and Dutch) in year 1 (grade 7). From 2006, Chinese will be offered to students who are doing well in their other languages. In year 2 (grade 8) students continue with English and Dutch and choose their 3rd language between French, German or Spanish. Only in case of dyslexia or if a student has not done these languages in a previous school will the student be exempted from participation in this language. At the end of year 3 (grade 9) the students choose any two of Physics, Chemistry, Geography and Economics, whilst continuing with their language choice. All students take Biology and History throughout the MYP.
Is there a high turn-over of student population?
The yearly turn-over is around 10% not including the departing exam students.
