Eerde IBS - School and Boarding Guide

Welcome to Eerde International Boarding School 

Dear Parent and Student,

We are delighted to welcome you to Eerde IBS this year. With more than thirty nationalities under one roof, learning at Eerde IBS will allow you to experience the exceptional atmosphere of an international world in a quiet corner of The Netherlands.

Learning at Eerde IBS is fun, full and challenging. Our students represent different backgrounds, religions, values and cultures. Our daily language is English. A common language fosters a strong sense of inclusion. While our students can naturally keep using their mother tongues, ensuring no one feels excluded is key to creating a flourishing community.

This A-Z guide is intended to be a companion to help both students and parents get used to learning at Eerde IBS. It tells you how the school day is structured, how much homework you can expect, how to get to and from Eerde IBS, what to wear and how we expect you to behave. There’s some fun stuff in here too, like our field trips and extra-curricular activities. Please take the time to read all the information carefully.

The rights and responsibilities of students are set out in detail in the “Eerde IBS Code of Honour” which we ask students, parents and guardians to read carefully and to agree to in writing. Our aim is to communicate transparently about how together we create and develop a community in which we can live and study in harmony, with respect for the values and ideas that make Eerde IBS special.

Mrs. Niki Holterman
