With convenient course schedules and a system you can follow from beginner to advanced, the School for Dutch is ready to guide you on your Dutch language learning adventure!
The School for Dutch has been teaching Dutch language courses for the past three decades in Amsterdam. Under the direction of Wessel van der Heijden, students don’t learn Dutch through studying, they learn Dutch through doing. With a background in theater, Wessel brings innovative language learning techniques to every course, focusing on speaking and immersion. Courses put a large emphasis on rhythm and feeling in order to get students thinking in the true Dutch mindset. If you don’t know your level, you can click here for our free online level test.
