CloseLocated in what used to be the residence of the sacristan of the adjacent Walloon Church (anno 1578), the Centre Français-Néerlandais is unlike any other language institute. In this unique and historical spot right in the heart of Amsterdam, French and Dutch culture have coexisted for almost 450 years.

We also offer Dutch courses specifically adapted to francophones, who wish to understand and speak the language of the country in which they live. These courses are taught by native Dutch tutors who have mastered French and perfectly know the needs and difficulties specific to the French language and its users.
In addition to our general courses, we provide private training and company courses, tailor-made to fit any needs.

CloseA novelty at this years ‘I am not a tourist Expat Fair’ in Amsterdam. For the very first time, a group of Dutch-speaking schools participates in the ‘Education for Expats’ programme of the exhibition.
Research by the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area shows that more and more international parents are choosing a Dutch-speaking school when they come to live in Amsterdam. Currently, 45% of them make this choice.
Openbaar Onderwijs aan de Amstel (OOadA) runs 22 primary schools in Amsterdam Centre and South. The two area’s where internationals prefer to settle. Over the years therefore, our schools became increasingly capable to respond to the needs of international pupils and parents from all around the globe.

CloseWe like to see learning as a hike through the mountains. Some children are faster and get to the top quicker, some children would like to see the view and explore the environment and some children need help from other children. The point is to get to the top as a class, as a team and to all learn from this journey, all the while tending to individual stimulus and needs.
At Optimist International School children will experience and explore the International Primary Curriculum (IPC). The IPC is a curriculum that, for one part, leaves education to the imagination of the children with the guidance of the teacher. IPC focuses on developing knowledge, skills and understanding of subjects set within child–friendly, relevant, cross–curricular thematic units of work that are both creative and challenging for children of all abilities. IPC is approved by the Dutch Ministry of Education and is established in over 530 schools in over 50 countries around the world.
As a member of the Dutch International Schools the curriculum framework in our primary schools meets the Dutch educational legislation standards. There is also the connection with the mother school, which is conform to Dutch education and the Dutch language. We use the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) and the British National Curriculum for language and mathematics. Furthermore, we offer English Additional Language(EAL) support.

CloseDutch has a reputation for being very difficult. Dutch people love to say that their language is one of the hardest languages to learn.But…if you look at it objectively, Dutch is the closest language to English; it is as a matter of fact a kind of German light (a language that is logical and consistent, according to many people).Yes, chances are high that you’ll experience some challenges and obstacles whenever you try to learn and to speak Dutch. Even if you speak Dutch already, you may often find that somehow you are still limited. The great news is that speaking Dutch can be far easier than you ever imagined. In the revolutionary workshops of Talencoach you’ll discover many great things.

CloseWe are not the kind of language school you are probably thinking of. In our classrooms you will not find any text books or exercise books. Nor do we give you any homework. Unlike most language teachers, we are not so much interested in teaching you grammar rules. We would rather simply communicate with you!
At first it is very important that you understand the Dutch language. In order to speak Dutch, you first need to comprehend what you hear. And you need to comprehend what you read. Of course we encourage you to speak some Dutch in our lessons, but we never force any of our students into speaking. As long as you listen and read with us, you are learning Dutch!
So our teachers talk in Dutch throughout the whole lesson. The teacher might give some command for actions to be executed, in order to work with the new vocabulary. Together with the teacher you will create the most interesting and sometimes funny stories. The stories include dialogues that will be useful in your daily life in The Netherlands as well. You will read stories as well and become the character as you act our the story. Our lessons are dynamic and practical.
In the first year you can participate in beginners courses on levels 1, 2 and 3. You will learn the most frequent vocabulary. All the stories that we tell and read are presented to you in both present and past tense.
