For 150 years, rock-solid primary education in the heart of the capital. Our primary school is located in a historic monumental site in the heart of Amsterdam. The large playground connects three canal houses on the Keizersgracht and Herengracht, forming a vibrant school. Here, we teach children to be independent world citizens, to embrace differences and to bring out the best in each other. We work with the children to grow their self-confidence and increase their autonomy. As a solid basis for a bright future.
Being seen makes you happy Happy children make for enthusiastic learners. The teachers at De Burght look closely and lovingly at the children and what their specific needs are. So they also teach differentiated lessons. The teachers listen and are open to the pupils, but also to their parents. Your child is truly seen at our school. As a result, De Burght is also able to provide accurate and appropriate secondary school referrals for its pupils.
Amsterdam world citizens
Whoever you are and wherever you come from … everyone belongs, and together we will bring out the best in each other. The history and culture of Amsterdam is a core component of the school’s culture. Our beautiful city is driven by a colourful collection of enterprising individuals. The teachers are passionate and challenge both each other and the pupils to push boundaries together. As befits the character of Amsterdam: an inclusive city with education that produces unique, headstrong Amsterdam world citizens.
Extra love for culture, technology and science
The Leonardo-programme provides an extra dose of culture, technology and science. Which makes our school unique. Culture and science aren’t hidden in the wings at De Burght, they take the main stage. Without culture, no reflection or new ideas. Without science, no way to prove that (or how) new insights work. De Burght’s Leonardo programme fits seamlessly with our world vision. Just outside of the school gates, world heritage lies literally at our feet. The teachers see this reflected daily in the children’s lunch boxes, something that fills them with pride.
