Eerde – The only international school in the Netherlands to offer full boarding and flexible boarding options. Boarding at Eerde is the ideal way to give children an all-round education in a safe and warm environment. Their home from home.
Qualified for the school of life
Students graduate from Eerde with internationally recognised diplomas that open doors to higher education all over the world. Our boarding students also possess outstanding qualifications when it comes to embarking on the school of life.
Eerde’s boarding parents are on hand 24/7. Reflecting your role as a parent, they guide the children in our care to take responsibility: for their study, their belongings, their wellbeing and their relationships with others. Teachers and other members of staff, support each child to become a tolerant individual and a team player. Together with parents, we help our students reach their full potential and feel comfortable being themselves.
Eerde is the only international school in the Netherlands to offer full boarding facilities 24/7 for students aged 12-19.
Learn, live and develop in full boarding
Each school year Eerde’s team of boarding parents set up student teams who are responsible for different aspects of boarding life: from clearing up after dinner to organising a sporting or cultural excursion. The team captain rotates regularly, so each student gets a chance to take responsibility for the group.
Controlled freedom
Our students thrive in the routines set by the boarding houses, with designated times to study either in their own rooms, one of the quiet study rooms or the castle’s Library. For senior students this space and structure is a great help in focusing their efforts for the demands of IBDP. And for younger pupils it’s reassuring and motivating to have 24/7 support to guide their homework and planning.
Reasons to choose flexible boarding
Five-day flexible boarding
From Monday to Friday your child lives at Eerde. They work hard on learning assignments and play hard in sporting, cultural and outdoor activities. Our learning coaches supervise the routine of homework sessions on three weekday evenings in the quiet of the castle’s Library or in the school’s Learning Enrichment Centre. And Friday afternoon, students will leave to go home, where it is possible to arrange transport by school or bring the students to the train station.
Residential accommodation
The two boarding houses in the castle grounds have comfortable bedrooms and cosy shared lounges and kitchens. Together boarding students and staff create a safe, welcoming and warm environment which soon feels like home from home. Most students opt to share a room with another student in the same age group and same gender. Single rooms are also available (upon request and availability). The rooms are in separate houses for boys and girls. The girls dormitory have en-suite shower facilities
