Grouping

Our admissions coordinators sit down for an intake with each student and his or her parents or guardian.

Students with a (basic) knowledge of the Dutch language, will immediately be placed in a group adapted to their specific level. This is the case with students who have already attended another ISK or who have attended primary education in the Netherlands.

Once admitted, students will be tested on three different subjects: language, mathematics and speed of learning. Additionally, we will use information provided by previous schools the student has attended. All of this information combined will help us to determine the most fitting profile for the student.

Students who have no knowledge of the Dutch language, will be placed in a so-called intake-group. They will remain here for approximately six weeks, during which time we collect information regarding the student’s educational background. This ‘prolonged intake’ enables us to determine which one of our three profiles is most fitting for the student.
