If you move to Amsterdam or Diemen from another place in the Netherlands, you have a choice of schools. To see which schools are near you, you can of course explore your new neighbourhood, but you can also take a look at the school guide of the City of Amsterdam, or at our overview prepared for you. Choose a school on the map, or use the filters. If you click on a school, you will see the website.
Does your child attend regular education? You can switch to a new regular primary school of your choice if the school has room and the school can meet your child's educational needs.
Does your child attend special primary education (sbo)? From the first of February of 2022, the declaration of admissibility (TLV) for special primary education is valid nationwide.
Does your child already have a declaration of admissibility for special education (so)? It is valid nationwide.
I moved from another place in the Netherlands to Amsterdam or Diemen and I am looking for a primary school for my child. How do I do this?
Do some research in your new neighbourhood. Find out which primary school appeals most to you and your child. Register your child at this school. Mention that this is a relocation. The school will indicate whether it has room and, if yes, what it needs to register your child.
