Amersfoort International School offers primary education for children between 4 and 12 years of age. AIS welcomes students of all nationalities, faiths, beliefs and cultures. Admission is subject to Dutch legislation and depends on the school programme being appropriate for the applicant's needs and on available space. Applications are submitted via the OpenApply online platform. Eligibility requires meeting at least one criterion: non‑Dutch nationality with one parent employed in the Netherlands for a period; Dutch nationality with two years of schooling abroad because a parent was stationed abroad; or Dutch nationality with a parent who will be stationed abroad within two years for at least two years (supported by a written statement of intent from the parent or employer). Admission depends on place availability and on AIS determining that it is the right fit for the student, based on prior academic records, interviews, any relevant special educational needs, and communication with the student's previous school(s). Final admission is confirmed only after approval by the Head or Deputy Head of School. The application fee is €250, non-refundable, and proof of payment must be uploaded in OpenApply before proceeding. Bank details for paying the application fee are Rabobank; IBAN NL69 RABO 0315 9894 08; SWIFT/BIC RABONL2U; payable to Stichting AnnoNu; reference AIS + student's full name.
Amersfoort International School (AIS) offers English-language international primary education for children aged 4 to 12 and follows the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme as an official IB World School since September 2025. Located in Amersfoort, AIS shares a light, spacious building on Noordewierweg with De Kubus and is part of the AnnoNu school board. The school opened in 2023–2024 and operates in a renovated facility that features a large natural playground to support learning through play, discovery and inquiry. AIS emphasizes inclusion and equal opportunities with a mission of 'Learning for all' and a transdisciplinary, inquiry-based PYP curriculum that integrates across traditional subjects. Facilities include a collaborative library developed with De Kubus and De Bibliotheek Eemland, offering Dutch and English titles and growing multilingual collections. After-school care via Partou, cycling lessons, and Dutch language immersion strengthen community ties and language development. AIS aims to empower internationally minded and successful learners.
