Home » About us
Are you moving abroad with your family, or have you been living outside the Netherlands for some time? Then high-quality education in the Dutch language is an important foundation for your child’s development.
At many international schools, English is the main language of instruction and opportunities to continue developing Dutch are limited. LanguageOne offers a professional solution through internationally recognised Dutch language and culture education.
We provide Dutch language lessons for children aged 3 to 18: from toddlers and preschoolers to students preparing for the CNaVT or IB Dutch exams. Our experienced teachers support students in maintaining and developing both their language skills and their cultural connection to the Netherlands.
Education is offered on-site, online, or in a combination of both. This allows us to flexibly adapt to the needs of every family.
We are a leading authority in Dutch language and culture education for children growing up outside the Netherlands and Belgium.
Continuing to develop Dutch language skills is important, especially when returning to the Netherlands or Belgium. We ensure that your child meets the language requirements for entry into Dutch or Flemish education.
At all LanguageOne locations, qualified teachers provide the personal guidance your child needs.
Our students remain connected to the Dutch and Flemish language and culture at all times. Wherever you are in the world, LanguageOne offers both classroom-based and online learning programmes.
