Welcome to De Klimroos, an internationally oriented school inspiring lifelong learning for a world without borders!

As a city with 156 nationalities, there is a growing need in Utrecht for a school that meets the needs of international children: A school that values and celebrates children’s home language and culture, but at the same time invests in their Dutch language development to promote integration in the Netherlands.  

De Klimroos offers a unique balance between Dutch and international education and actively seeks to inspire and encourage students to be global citizens. We focus on communication, collaboration, critical and creative thinking within a safe and supportive environment.  

De Klimroos is for families who:

• Are looking for an internationally oriented curriculum with Dutch as the language of instruction.

• Wish to integrate into the Netherlands but also want a continuation of international education.

• Are looking for a school that values and uses the linguistic and cultural backgrounds of children as a resource for learning.

• Value intercultural competence.
