In Brief
Amity is worth serious consideration if you want full IB in a smaller, less corporate setting - it's the most affordable of the three main Amsterdam IB options, and the Amstelveen campus is genuinely pleasant. Being a young school, it is still building its track record, so ask directly about university outcomes and teacher retention.
Amity opened in 2018 and has grown to around 410 students across the full IB continuum from age three to eighteen. It operates from a spacious campus in De Braak, Amstelveen, with good outdoor space and a forest school element in the primary years. Fees sit roughly EUR 3,000-6,000 below ISA at every stage, which on a self-funding basis is a meaningful difference.
Parent feedback from the early years of operation is positive - families cite enthusiastic teachers, a high staff-to-student ratio, and a strong sense of community. The school added IGCSE options from 2025, addressing a gap for families who want Cambridge qualifications alongside IB. IB authorisation for the DP came in 2022, so the school is still in its first cohorts for diploma results.
The trade-off is track record. ISA has decades of IB data; Amity does not yet. University placement records are limited by the school's age rather than performance, but you should ask specifically about outcomes for early graduates and about staff retention, which in newer schools can be variable.
What parents value
- –Lowest fees among the three main Amsterdam international schools at every stage - EUR 20,240 to EUR 25,995 - with a not-for-profit structure that reinvests tuition into facilities.
- –Spacious Amstelveen campus with outdoor learning space and a forest school programme in the primary years. Small school size means teachers know families quickly.
- –Full IB continuum plus IGCSE from 2025 - growing curriculum breadth that makes it competitive with longer-established schools.
Points of consideration
- –Young school: IB Diploma authorisation only from 2022, so published university placement data is limited. Ask directly about outcomes for the first graduating cohorts.
- –Ask about staff retention - newer international schools can see more teacher movement than established ones.
- –Uniforms are mandatory, which adds to the upfront cost of joining. Factor this in alongside the application and admission fees.
