Harbour International teaches in English. The school uses the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) combined with elements of the British curriculum. EAL (English as an Additional Language) is provided for non-English speaking children in groups 2-8, delivered in small groups and in the classroom to access the full curriculum.
Harbour International Primary School sits in the heart of Rotterdam, offering an English-taught IPC-based program for ages 4 to 11. The curriculum blends the International Primary Curriculum with elements of the British curriculum, and literacy and numeracy are taught alongside IPC subjects, with English as an Additional Language (EAL) support for pupils who need it. The school serves a diverse community representing 69 nationalities, with around 280 pupils and small class sizes averaging 18. Dutch culture is woven into learning through All about the Netherlands activities, and the school is nut-free with snacks and lunches eaten in classrooms. The library is run by parent volunteers; there is a dedicated technology program and specialist music provision. A qualified gym teacher delivers PE to all pupils; younger children have PE on site, while older pupils walk to a local gym and Group 4–8 swim weekly. Co-curricular activities include coding, art, basketball, mindfulness, chess and music lessons; the Parents' Support Group coordinates volunteering and fundraising.
