About

If the school question is the one keeping you awake, this is the team that does only that. Young Expat Services guides international parents through the Dutch and international school systems – an information call first, then a shortlist of schools that actually have places near where you plan to live, organised visits, and help with the application forms. They cover daycare and pre-school too, plus special-needs placements, and they say they place around 400-500 children a year across the Netherlands. All in English.

Frequently asked

How does your school search actually work?

It starts with an information call about the Dutch and international school systems. They then draw up a list of schools that suit your child and your preferred area, check availability, organise up to three visits and support you through registration.

Can you help if we haven't chosen a neighbourhood yet?

Yes - the packages specifically cover the 'first a house or first a school' decision, because in the Netherlands admission is often tied to the school's postcode area.

What if my child has additional needs?

There is a separate package for moving to the Netherlands with a child with special needs aged 4-18, covering how Dutch and international schools handle special needs, school inspection research and appointments with the municipality and support facilities.
