Lessons

De Esdoorn has lessons for everyone — whether you are a new family to Canada and speak Dutch as a first language, or an adult reconnecting with the language of your heritage. We offer in-person classes at our Vancouver and Fraser Valley school locations, and online classes to adults and children across Canada. We are Canada’s only Dutch school accredited by the Foundation for Dutch Education Worldwide (NOB – Stichting Nederlands Onderwijs in het Buitenland). Choose a category or click on a lesson below.
