Is daycare enough for your child?

Many parents believe that at age 3–5 children only need care, play, and a safe place to spend the day.

But these years are actually the most powerful years for brain development.

What if a child could still enjoy childhood -
✨ play
✨ explore
✨ make friends
- while also developing curiosity, confidence, language, and thinking skills?

This is exactly what TISA Grade 0 (Ages 3+) offers.

It’s not “early school”.

It’s a carefully structured transition year where children:

🌱 grow in a true bilingual environment (English & Dutch)
🎭 build confidence through music, drama and presentation
🔬 explore the world through science, inquiry and discovery
🧠 strengthen memory, attention and thinking skills
🌿 learn through nature, gardening and forest school
🎨 create in art and clay studios
🐾 develop empathy through animal care and social-emotional learning

All while keeping learning playful, joyful and age-appropriate.

Because when learning begins with curiosity,
children develop a love for learning that lasts a lifetime.

And when the time comes for Grade 1,
they arrive confident, curious and ready.

✨ If this approach resonates with you, we’d love to meet you.

✨ On December 18th, our students had a magical day discovering the world of ballet!
⠀
A week earlier, a theatre educator visited TISA to lead a hands-on master class. The children explored the story of The Nutcracker, learned the difference between drama and ballet, practiced basic ballet positions, and brought different characters to life through movement. They tried ballet jumps, acted out scenes, and fully immersed themselves in the story.
⠀
Then, they went to the Amsterdam Opera and Ballet Theatre to see The Nutcracker on stage. Watching the professional performance helped them connect what they had learned in class with real-life performance, understanding how storytelling, music, and movement come together in ballet.
⠀
These two days gave our students a deep, practical introduction to ballet, helping them develop creativity, focus, body awareness, and confidence in expressing themselves. At TISA, we believe that experiences like this are essential: they help children grow not just academically, but emotionally and socially, giving them the skills and confidence to thrive in all areas of life.

What is a Local International School?🦉🎓

It’s a school built for families who plan to stay - and who want their child to grow with both global confidence and local belonging.

Not a temporary stop.
Not a passing environment.

A place where a child builds real roots and real ambition at the same time.

💡The core idea

🗝️ A stable community
Children learn alongside classmates who remain for years, forming strong relationships and a sense of identity.

🗝️ International standards with local depth
English and Dutch develop through meaningful academic work, giving students a long-term advantage in the Netherlands and beyond.

🗝️ Clear academic direction
Structured learning, high-quality methods, and consistent expectations create steady progress.

🗝️ A culture that supports growth
Teachers and families share long-term goals, not quick outcomes.

🗝️ A child’s future grows out of the environment they experience every day.
A Local International School offers the stability, challenge, and direction that prepare them for real opportunities ahead.
