Taalschool de Vlieger

Frequently asked questions

De Vlieger is especially for newcomer children, aged 4 to 12, who have just arrived in the Netherlands, both children from the AZC and children living outside the AZC.

Registration goes through the Dronten municipality (for children outside the AZC) or through COA (for children in the AZC). Parents can also contact the school themselves for an intake interview see Logging on to The Kite.

Children can join from the age of 4. For younger children, there is a Balloon playgroup at the AZC.

De Vlieger offers education until your child has sufficient command of Dutch and is ready for transfer to a regular primary school.

The language of instruction is Dutch, but we pay attention to children's home language to support their learning.

Besides learning the Dutch language, your child will also be taught maths, writing and social skills. In addition, we pay attention to integration, culture, citizenship and world orientation. In this way, we prepare children not only for school skills, but also for their role as active and involved world citizens.
