How would you rate Amsterdam 麻花视频 Community School (AICS)?
Nice school, friendly teachers. Primary school is really nice and my child loves it. Dutch teaching level could be improved.
Heads of secondary are defensive and do nothing about the ongoing issues surrounding teacher absences. Maintaining the low status quo seems to be their job
This is a great IB school: diverse, open-minded & above all they have created a safe environment in which the children can really thrive. After the move from Prinses Irene to the AJ Ernststraat the school now has a great building with all facilities needed. I truly recommend
AICS (main campus) offers all that our child needs to develop socially and academically. For a child with good academic engagement, the school life is rich and also fun, and there鈥檚 no non-sense pressure. We were already happy with Primary school, but Secondary school has been particularly positive.
I was a student there and loved every part of it!!! The teachers were nice the gym was fantastic and it was very international.
It is so nice here. The teaching is good and the building is beautiful.
Our kids (two boys 13,15) have been at the AICS for 10 years now. Generally we are very pleased as the environment is friendly and children like going to school. It is a lot more down to earth compared to other international schools in Amsterdam. Primary was great for us. Secondary has become more structured with the arrival of the new principal. Stakeholder management and operations have also improved and it seems standards have risen... may be also as kids progress through the program. The new building is great. All in all a great opportunity to get good international education at super reasonable price.
Leadership is unethical and bullying is openly tolerated. Bullies are protected esp. if they have multiple siblings in the school. Teachers are bad, stressed and openly complain to parents. Last term, teachers skipped grading some classes because of stress. If you bring any concern as a parent, they either threaten you to call social services or start troubling your child in the class. Very unsafe place for kids. Our child comes back home everyday complaining she did not learn anything new. We are considering changing schools. Our experience is felt by many parents and the parent community is starting to be tired by group dynamics of some parents in combination with school's unethical behavior or exercising power.
Very bad. Primary is limited learning and secondary kids use a lot of abusive words. The school also submits fake reviews and has a strong racism culture, preferring Europeans over other races. Primary lacks a playground! Teachers are always stressed.
My children have been at AICS for several years and are very happy and so are we. The majority of the teachers are well prepared, empathetic and compassionate, engaging in the children鈥檚 learning and emotional growth. Children become great thinkers and international minded people. They learn a lot by relating concepts in a holistic way, which gives them a more critical way of thinking to relate to the world and their approach to new ideas.

My daughter attended the new S.E. location for Fall 18 term. Really enjoyed her time in primary school. The teachers and staff were very cooperative. Overall a positive experience to our family's Amsterdam experience.

Very nice school. Teachers are very nice and helpful here. The education challenges students to do their best. However there are many complaints about the admins not always responding to the problems of guardians, parents or children. This school is very international and extremely diverse. I recommend this school and is very welcoming.
