American International School of Rotterdam (AISR)

Since 1959, AISR has offered comprehensive education for students from Pre-Kindergarten through to Grade 12. However, AISR is more than a school.  It is more than a record of outstanding achievement. It is more than a place where traditions are valued and innovation is embraced.  It is more than an extraordinary learning community, bringing together students from all over the world.  It is a place where students can feel comfortable, safe and secure in order to learn to the best of their ability.

Conveniently located just North of the heart of Rotterdam, AISR is nestled in a beautiful community called Hillegersberg, where children can walk or ride their bicycle to school along tree-lined paths.

English is the language of instruction at AISR. All classes, except for the language classes, are conducted in English and use native language resources. For students who are just learning English, we have a English as an Additional Language (EAL) support program, where students are are given support so that they can interact meaningfully in the classroom.

We provide a comprehensive curriculum, addressing all academic areas, including: English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Music, Art, Physical Education, Technology/computers and World Languages including Dutch, French, Spanish, German, Japanese, Italian and Mandarin.

At the beginning of the 2013-2014 school year, enrollment was at 185.  Of this total, 31 were U.S. citizens, 40 were host-country nationals, and 114 were third-country nationals.  The student body currently represents over 24 nationalities.
