A Dutch language school in Vancouver's Lower Mainland
De Esdoorn is een Nederlandse Taal- en Cultuurschool in Vancouver en omgeving in de Canadese provincie British Columbia. De school werd in 2015 opgericht en is geregistreerd als non-profit organisatie ‘De Esdoorn – Dutch Language and Culture School Society’.
In 2019, we became the first Dutch school in Canada licensed by Dutch Education Worldwide (NOB – Nederlands Onderwijs in het Buitenland).
