What does our school offer

Facilities

We opened our doors for students in February 2018. Being only 15 minutes away from Schiphol, the school is located in Amstelveen and is surrounded by green spaces. Located in a unique monumental building surrounded by parks and with our focus on the well-being of every student, Amity International School Amsterdam is one of a kind.

Our school is housed in a spectacular building, which has been refitted to the highest standards and provides students with a unique learning environment. The impressive architecture has been utilised to create large, open and multi-functional learning spaces, as well as an indoor gymnasium, music room and a library. Parks and forests surround the glass building which is flooded with natural light and brings the outdoors into the learning spaces.

Learning

At Amity International School Amsterdam we place students at the centre of learning. Our programmes are designed to equip our students with the skills necessary to tackle not only the problems of today, but also those of the future.

As an accredited International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP) school, Middle Years Programme (MYP) and the Diploma Programme (DP), we offer a globally recognised curriculum that challenges students to take responsibility for their own learning and encourages them to become active world citizens.
