After school clubs and after school care (BSO)
Over the past year while moving to the new South building and as we get ready to move to the Sandcastle in August 2023, we have been reviewing our after school clubs and after school care offer so that we can continue to provide high quality services to all of our students.
After school clubs
The after school clubs programme offers a variety of safe and age appropriate after school activities to all primary students across both campuses. Our students can participate in after school activities such as dance, sewing, chess, art, guitar, film and many more. All of our after school club are coordinated by Kind&Co. Kind&Co is an established and professional, non-profit organisation that has experience with after school care and after school activities for international schools in the Netherlands.
The After School Club coordinator from Kind&Co is Iris Selderijk. Please feel free to contact Iris whenever you have questions, nice ideas or suggestions at i.selderijk@kindenco.nl
