About this school
Holland International School, formerly Hollandse School Limited, opened in 1920 after four Dutch companies (ABN-AMRO, Heineken, Philips and Shell) agreed to set up a primary school for Dutch families in Singapore. Its first home was the billiard room of the Dutch Club on Cairnhill Road. It is now an independent, self-funding company limited under Singapore law, and all parents are members.
The school teaches children aged 18 months to 12 years and is deliberately small:
- Preschool (18 months to 4 years) following the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC)
- A Dutch Stream that keeps pupils at Netherlands standards
- An English Stream based on the British curriculum, with White Rose maths and daily French, Mandarin or Dutch lessons
Both primary streams use the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) for theme-based, inquiry-led projects. The Bukit Tinggi Road campus includes a separate nursery building, a learning support centre, a children's kitchen, art and music rooms, a library and a PE hall. After-school activities include sports, performing arts, coding, cooking and languages.
