This stream aligns with the Dutch Education system. Dutch groups 3 to 8 (Canada: Grade 1-6) are the primary school years for students. In these years we work with Dutch teaching methods and emphasize vocabulary, spelling, language skills, reading comprehension and writing.

During the lessons various learning forms and Dutch teaching materials are used.
In group 3, students learn to read and write using the ‘Safe Learning to Read’ method.
From group 4 onward, the students work in the ‘Language Active’ method where all language components come together.
All teaching methods are in line with the core objectives of Dutch education.
