Introduction
International School Haarlem’s Lower Primary Campus, located at Buitenrustlaan 9, provides a warm, engaging entry into formal education for children aged 4 to 6. The campus carefully blends the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework with the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), while utilizing the English National Curriculum for core subjects like Mathematics and English. A distinctive feature of this campus is its dedicated emphasis on child-led exploration and play-based learning in Group 1, ensuring students build strong foundational skills in communication, personal development, and physical coordination before advancing to structured academics. The campus utilizes its intimate setting effectively, offering specialist physical education lessons that connect directly to IPC thematic units. With small class sizes and English as the working language, young learners benefit from targeted support, including dedicated Dutch language instruction, preparing them thoroughly for their transition to the Upper Primary campus.
