It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.

To be eligible, the child must be French, reside in the Netherlands with a parent or legal guardian, be at least 3 years old in the calendar year of the start of the school year, and be enrolled at the Consulat général de France à Amsterdam in an AEFE‑approved school. A brochure with the application form and supporting documents can be downloaded; contact the Consulate's social service for more information.
International French School of Amsterdam is an AEFE‑affiliated French establishment approved by the French Ministry of Education. The school operates on two central‑west Amsterdam sites: the Primary School at Anthonie van Dijckstraat 1 and the Middle/High School at Veerstraat 48. It delivers the French national curriculum with a fully bilingual approach from preschool. From age 3, students receive 13 hours of French, 11 hours of English and 2 hours of Dutch per week; Dutch is taught as an additional language while immersion continues in French and English. A British international track runs from 6th to 10th grade for studies in English. The middle school culminates in the Diplôme national du brevet, and the lycée offers the International French Baccalaureate (BFI). The school is a member of Globeducate and part of the AEFE network. Facilities include bright classrooms, libraries, outdoor spaces, secondary laboratories for physics, chemistry and life sciences, plus a Fab Lab and Art class.
