Winford Bilingual Amsterdam is a private Dutch B3 school offering a 50/50 bilingual Dutch-English program for ages 4 to 12. The curriculum blends the Dutch National Curriculum, the UK National Curriculum, and the International Primary Curriculum, with all core subjects taught in both languages throughout the day. The school operates multi-age classrooms—Panda (4-6), Zebra (5.5-8), Giraffe (7-10), Eagle (10-12)—each with two native-speaking teachers and approximately 20 students, ensuring personalized attention. Pupils can follow either Dutch or International secondary education paths after age 9, depending on family choice. IPC themes run across subjects, linking learning in both languages. Facilities are central in Amsterdam's Museumplein, and field trips to libraries and Nemo Science Museum enrich IPC projects. Nutritious lunches are prepared in-house. After-school offerings include Mindful Minds: Sensory Lab, Textile Club, and The Crafty Creators Club. The school's bilingual approach supports fluency in both languages while preparing pupils for diverse futures globally.
