Head of School welcome

Welcome aboard the Harbour International school website. Here we aim to give you an idea of what our school can offer you and your family during your time in Rotterdam. Through the website, we aim to help you make an informed decision when choosing our school, as we understand this is an important step in ensuring a positive start to a new life in the Netherlands.

A safe and happy environment is central to successful learning and development and here at Harbour International, we are proud of the warm welcome we extend to international and mobile families. We are incredibly privileged to represent over forty different nationalities and consequently, respect and empathy for one another and other cultures are at the heart of our school.

Our dedicated and highly qualified team of teachers and support staff, most of whom have been with us for many years, work hard to provide a broad and balanced curriculum which equips children with the skills they will need for the 21st Century. This incorporates the teaching of the eight personal goals highlighted in the International Primary Curriculum - adaptability, respect, communication, morality, enquiry, cooperation, thoughtfulness and resilience.  Each child is unique and we tailor the lessons to make sure that each individual learns what is appropriate for them.

Please explore our website where you will find lots of information about our wonderful school. However, to get a true feeling of Harbour, we invite you to arrange a tour through our admissions officer at veroniquez@harbouribsr.nl and if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch. We look forward to welcoming you!
