Harbour International provides a safe, caring environment and a strong sense of community. The school emphasises individualised development and international mindedness. Pupils are taught in English by experienced teachers in a diverse, international community. The school is located in central Rotterdam and maintains small class sizes to support personalised learning (average around 18 students, never more than 22).
EAL teachers work with non-English-speaking children from groups 2–8 to support learning of English as an additional language, in small groups and in the classroom to help 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.
