About the AICS

The AICS is the first Dutch International Primary and Secondary School in Amsterdam.  We are affiliated with the Berlage Lyceum and the Europaschool in Amsterdam, which, together with a number of other schools, form the ‘Esprit Scholengroep Amsterdam’.  The school is subsidised by the Dutch government, which enables us to deliver high quality education at competitive fees.  The AICS is school for international education, accredited by the Council of International Schools, focusing on children from international backgrounds.  Currently the school offers primary education to students aged 4 – 10 and secondary education to students aged 11 – 19.  The main language of instruction for classes is English. The school is developing plans to cater to a growing demand. In addition, after several moves since the start of the school in 2003, the AICS is now in a state of the art building with around 700 students.
