Teaching Philosophy
Our teaching philosophy is grounded in the belief that learning should be joyful, meaningful, and driven by curiosity. Influenced by Reggio Emilia, we view each child as capable and full of potential. The classroom is a space of exploration, expression, and community. We center project-based inquiry and creative expression while nurturing the whole child through social-emotional development and individualized support. Each child begins with an initial academic and emotional assessment to tailor their learning experience.
Each day follows a hybrid learning structure, consisting of individual/small group instruction followed by independent work based on personalized learning plans.
Family & Community Engagement
We believe that families are essential partners in the education process. Regular updates and workshops will nurture a supportive learning community, and family showcases will celebrate children's creativity and progress.
Parent Support and Well Being
This program is not only designed for children, but also to support parents and caregivers. By offering safe, stimulating, and structured learning opportunities for children during the day, we provide families with:
Time to work, rest, or attend to personal responsibilities
Relief from isolation and burnout, particularly for expat or newly arrived families
Peace of mind knowing their children are in a healthy, inclusive, and nurturing environment
Opportunities for connection and support through parent gatherings and community events
We strive to be a consistent and positive presence in the lives of families navigating complex transitions.
Arts & Inquiry is a part-time learning and enrichment program rooted in creativity, connection, and curiosity. We serve children ages 8–15 who are navigating educational transitions—whether between school placements, recently arrived in the Netherlands, or simply not thriving in traditional school settings. At Arts & Inquiry, every child is seen as capable, creative, and deserving of a learning environment that honors their identity. At Arts & Inquiry, all classes are taught in English.
