Who can enroll at SALTO International school?

SALTO International School RISE and I-St@rt are subsidized by the Dutch ministry of Education (ministerie van OC&W) and according to their regulations only international oriented families can seek admission at our school:

The pupil or one of its parents has a non-Dutch nationality and one of the parents will be working in the Netherlands or the border area for a limited period. The family expects to stay in the Netherlands for a limited period of time.
The pupil has the Dutch nationality and has spent a longer period abroad (at least two years) because of the job of one of the parents. The pupils must have joined local or international education for two years or longer in that country.
The pupil has the Dutch nationality and will leave within two years to another country because of the job of one of the parents.

When a family is unable to state how long that period will be, the temporary nature of their stay in the Netherlands must be certain.

We offer primary education for children from ages 4 to 12 (groups 1-8) and are accessible to children of all nationalities, faiths and cultures, based on equality.

Children can be admitted throughout the school year.

Admissions Process

To enroll at RISE or I-St@rt we ask you to complete the inquiry form or contact us directly via email or phone. If the child is eligible, a pre-enrollment can be filled out. When we do have a place available, we will invite the family for an intake interview before the admission is definite a couple of months prior to the starting date. This intake interview will take place at school or, when not possible, will be held digitally.

In this intake meeting we will get to know each other and talk about educational needs to see if we can provide the right education for your child. From group 5 onwards we will also assess the children's knowledge of English and/or Dutch. When all available places have been filled, children's names will be placed on a waiting list. We will inform you about our waiting list procedure and about possibilities at other SALTO schools.

School Fee

The registration fee is € 50 per family.

The school fee is € 400 per student per year. The school fees enable us to hire specialist teachers with a higher language proficiency level, to execute our intense language policies, to organize excursions and to use the international primary curriculum.

The school fee can be paid in full at the beginning of the year or in two installments of € 200 each, one at the beginning of the school year and one after the winter break. If a child is attending school in that period, the full amount for that period has to be paid, regardless of the number of days spend at school.
