Do you offer preschool?
ISL has a Dutch pre school on site for 2yrs and older. This will help with the transition into our primary school. Please find more information at www.splopvang.nl
Is there a deadline for applications?
At ISL we have implemented a rolling admissions policy. This means that if there is availability in the required age group we are able to accept students all year.
Are students able to purchase lunch at school?
Our school does not provide lunch facilities. All students must bring their own snacks and lunches with them. At ISL we promote healthy eating. Sandwiches, fruit and raw vegetables are some suggestions. Children will require both a snack and lunch.
When is the school closed for holidays?
Please refer to our school calander for all school holidays, bank holidays and study days. isleiden.nl/school-info/school-calendar/
Am I allowed to take my child/ren out of ISL during term time?
There are strict guidelines in place for both International students and through the Dutch education system.
If a Special Leave request is denied by the school and the child is still taken out, ISL has a legal obligation to report this to the Leerplicht Ambtenaar (Attendance officer) and, in almost every case, legal action will be taken. For further guidelines, please refer to our ISL Special Leave Request form.

ISL students do not have to wear a uniform.
Can I schedule a visit to the school?
We welcome all prospective families to come and visit our school, to ensure it is right for you. Please contact us at admissions@isleiden.nl to arrange a tour.
My child does not speak English, may they still join ISL?
Yes, of course! We would need to have a discusson about what English as Additional Language (EAL) support is available and how we can offer this in the short and/or long term.
