Our school provides a bilingual environment where within a classroom, one guide speaks in English and the other in Dutch (Nederlands) helping children learn both languages in a natural way.

Our flexible program enables families to take vacations anytime during the year, allowing children to continue learning without interruption, ensuring education fits effortlessly around family travel. We believe holidays can be partly educational: learning about new cultures, food, history and diversity is very beneficial for kids.

There are however a few moments in the curriculum where the children are expected to be present. These dates will be provided at the beginning of the school year. Parents are requested to share holiday plans ahead of time.

Keep in mind that by law there is a minimum amount of hours a child needs to attend school, so there is a limit on holidays based on the age of the child.

Age 4-6:
€22.000 (to be confirmed). This includes: all needed school products, books, healthy snacks, lunch & beverages, excursions, trips and workshops. 12 installments payment plan will also be available.

We do have limited spots available and hence we ask parents for deposit fee which is non-refundable: €1500. This will be deducted from the tuition fee.

We believe that healthy food is healthy mind. Hence, we strive to provide healthy fresh ingredients for simple home-made snacks and lunch. Herein we steer clear from refined sugars and E-numbers. Children are able to snack when they want to without needing to raise a hand or ask the teacher. Lunch is a communal activity where learners will prepare and eat lunch all together.

If your child has intolerances or allergies please let us know during application processes.

Yes, outdoor time is very important for children of all ages. Outside, we have active areas with open-ended games. Our future plans include a vegetable garden where children can work closely with nature, and a school pet.

We open the school in 2026 with the age group of 4 to 6 year olds.

In the near future we aim to expand the school with a class for age group 6 to 12. Please email kamile@seeker.education if you’d like to join the waiting list for new groups.

For age group 4-6 year olds, we maintain a maximum of 24 children in the class, with a teacher and two assistants. This creates a maximum of 8 children per teacher / assistant.

This school is private (particulier), which means that the school is not funded by the government, and parents pay a school tuition. We have mixed age classes (4-6 and 6-12) instead of age based classes. We don’t have homework, we do all school work at school, because time with family, friends and playing sports is equally important. We don’t have standardized test and grades, as they set the wrong incentives. Our teachers don’t lecture to the whole class, but instead are guides to help each individual child continue their development along their unique education plan. If you’re curious to learn more, please refer to our philosophy page, or schedule a call.

Because each child is unique and has their own abilities and interests. Personalized learning is clearly more suited for anyone than following an arbitrary schedule. We’ve seen exemplary schools around the world that show curious, engaged, and responsible children who love learning. In some cases children even progress an average of two regular school years within one school year with normal school hours and no homework.

According to Dr. Montessori, children progress through four distinct developmental stages, each with unique needs and learning styles. At Seeker, our classrooms are designed to meet these developmental needs, ensuring that children are not only engaged in age-appropriate learning experiences but also supported in their emotional and social growth. We focus on fostering their independence, creativity, and character, nurturing each child’s full potential in a balanced and holistic way.

Children can absolutely learn how to learn: how to follow their curiosity, make choices, and figure things out for themselves. Often it’s well-meaning adults who get in the way by showing “the right way” too quickly. When adults step back and the environment is thoughtfully prepared for them, children have the space to discover their own way of doing things.

This doesn’t mean they can simply slack off or do whatever they want. Our guides carefully observe, gently invite children to explore new materials, and offer appropriately challenging work. In this way, interest turns into deep concentration, and children grow into confident, self-motivated learners.

While we may start our own high school in the future, we make sure that all accomplishments of the children are easily interpretable by other schools and that at a minimum all children learn all the basic courses that are required by Dutch law. This way, would your child (or family) choose to go to another school or high school, they can make that transition.

For students who wish to pursue university degree, they can take the Dutch final exams (Staatsexamens/eindexamens), and we will fully support them with the preparation.

Because the majority of learning in our school is personalised and automated, our teachers are not actively teaching from a book to the entire class nor are they spending a lot of time on administrative work. There are also no tests to grade, nor homework to correct. This frees them up to pay close attention to the children and zoom in on one child’s particular curiosity, and guide another in a moment of struggle. 

A system based on graded tests has a too narrow developmental focus, sets the wrong incentives for children and schools, creates unnecessary administrative work, and blocks innovation in school curricula.

Our guides are trained to observe each individual child in the classroom, identifying progress and struggles per area of development. All observations are recorded in an online system that is accessible to parents as well.

No. There is nothing necessarily wrong with that. However, our focus is on purpose, development, performance, love for learning, character and merit. Yes, our system allows for a lot of freedom where the individual child has a leading role in their own development. But we also have clear rules, and we do not allow for slacking off. Even though we use arts and crafts and play as tools to accomplish some of our quests, we do not have an extensive focus on arts and theatre.

The Montessori educational method, developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, is a child-centered approach that emphasizes independence, hands-on learning, and respect for each child's natural development. In Montessori classrooms, children are encouraged to choose their activities based on interests, allowing for intrinsic motivation while teachers act as guides. Classrooms are designed with accessible, age-appropriate materials to promote exploration and learning at each child's pace. Mixed-age groups foster peer learning and collaboration, while the focus on holistic development nurtures academic, social, emotional, and practical life skills. Overall, Montessori education prepares children for lifelong learning by cultivating self-discipline and responsibility within a structured environment.

For such specific personal cases it would be best to understand the full scope of the situation. Feel free to reach out to tim@seeker.education.
