It really feels like coming home to them.
Jeanette - parent, Muscat
When we moved to Oman, our two children were able to start at LanguageOne immediately after our arrival. These sessions provide them with a pleasant, regular opportunity to speak Dutch in a ‘normal’ way again. It truly feels like coming home for them.
Clear with good feedback.
Tijmen – Exam student, Dubai
I am following the IB (Dutch A) exam program at LanguageOne in Dubai. The lessons are clear, I know exactly what I need to work on, and I receive good feedback on my assignments. I enjoy having classmates to discuss things with, and the teacher always helps us very well. I’m happy that I can now take Dutch as part of my exam subjects.

Frequently asked questions

Children growing up in an international environment often learn multiple languages ​​simultaneously. This presents a great opportunity, but it can also be challenging to master one language. At LanguageOne, we help children develop their Dutch skills while continuing to practice their other languages. This way, we support healthy multilingual growth.

Lessons take place in the classrooms at Holland International School.

At LanguageOne Singapore, children aged 4 to 12 can participate in Dutch Language and Culture Education (NTC).

The curriculum is thematic and inspired by the International Baccalaureate (IB). Students work in units on language and cultural tasks relevant to their experiences. All language skills—reading, writing, listening, and speaking—are covered, with an emphasis on active communication and interaction. Each unit concludes with an assessment. In addition, we administer method-independent tests, such as Diatoetsen and AVI, at least once a year.

Students typically follow three hours per week of Dutch Language and Culture education in addition to their regular school. The lessons are offered as an after-school program

Your child can join LanguageOne at any time. The only exception to this is the examination year. You can make an appointment with the centre manager for an introductory meeting. During this meeting, we will first assess which class your child should be placed in. The start date for lessons will then be agreed in consultation with the centre manager and/or your child’s teacher. Depending on when you enrol, the tuition fee will be adjusted accordingly. Please  get in touch for more information

The tuition fees for (part of) a year are stated in our General terms and conditions for our location in Singapore.

For families with three or more children, a 20% discount applies to the tuition fee for the third and each subsequent registered child.

It’s possible to schedule a trial lesson for your child. You can easily request one yourself. The location manager will then contact you to schedule an appointment.

No, we don’t offer private lessons, but we’re happy to help you find the best solution for your child. We offer personalized instruction in small classes. Private lessons are available through LanguageOne Online.

In addition to language lessons, we also place strong emphasis on Dutch and Flemish culture at our locations. We do this through familiar activities and celebrations, such as King’s Day, Children’s Book Week, and Sinterklaas. This way, children experience the language not only in lessons, but also in a meaningful and festive context. In this way, they remain connected to the culture, traditions, and stories of their country of origin.

LanguageOne’s educational programs ensure a smooth transition upon returning to the Netherlands or Belgium. For advice on continuing Dutch Language and Culture education in another country, online education, or choosing a school upon returning to the Netherlands or Belgium, please contact the location manager or teacher. You can also always utilize LanguageOne’s network in the Netherlands.

This depends on the local offerings of the LanguageOne location. Please contact the location manager for more information. There is, however, an online program available for adults.

Dutch education in Singapore

LanguageOne Singapore offers an after-school Dutch programme for primary school pupils. It’s a wonderful way for children to combine their multilingual world in Singapore with a solid foundation in Dutch, including cultural recognition and connection.

Lessons take place in the classrooms at the Holland International School. There are several groups on each afternoon, so that children can meet other Dutch-speaking peers and it remains convenient for parents to drop them off and pick them up.
