Amity International School Amsterdam

Operated by Amity Education Group, the Indian-founded global education foundation, on a green campus in Amstelveen. Opened in February 2018 and runs IB across all four programmes.

PYP, MYP and the Diploma through to 18, with class sizes capped around 24. The 2025 IBDP cohort averaged near 31 points with a top score of 43, which is solid rather than stellar. Teaching quality and pastoral feel are the lines parents land on most consistently, and the school makes a real effort with the family-and-community side of expat life in Amstelveen.

Roughly 410 students from around 39 nationalities, so it is small enough that staff know children by name. Fees run from about 20,000 to 26,000 EUR, mid to upper for Amsterdam. Amity's IB pathway, smaller scale and Amstelveen location pull a slightly different family than central-Amsterdam options like the British School or AICS, so families typically shortlist it alongside both before deciding.

• The independent review pool is shallow. The Good Schools Guide and IamExpat carry the longest write-ups, but both lean on school-supplied detail.
• Parents who do post emphasise small classes, a high staff-to-student ratio, the Amsterdamse Bos forest school and a no-homework policy in primary. One parent said their son learned to ask better questions and keep an open mind.
• The school is very international: around 400 students from 33-39 nationalities, with American, British, Dutch and Indian the most common groupings.
• Two posts in late 2024 from the same prospective teacher asked for any feedback on the school. Neither drew responses.
• No critical pool surfaced, expat.com or Mumsnet. The school is young, opened February 2018, and the online conversation is thin rather than divided.
