In 2023, it celebrated its 30th anniversary with a new name, ‘Korean School of Amsterdam.’ During this period, the school has continuously developed and grown, contributing to the Korean community and local educational environment in the Amsterdam region.

The curriculum is divided into Korean language courses, Korean culture courses, and Dutch courses. With a total of 35 classrooms, the school offers diverse courses from kindergarten to high school, providing a foundation for students’ language skills improvement and international education.

The school has achieved steady growth through collaborations with the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in the Netherlands, the Korean community in the Netherlands, the Dutch-Korean Historical Society, the Korean Business Association in the Netherlands, and the Overseas Koreans Foundation. Additionally, it maintains close relationships with the surrounding areas and Dutch society, offering students various experiences.

In the regular curriculum, students not only receive basic education in subjects like Korean language, mathematics, and history but also engage in various special classes and cultural events to learn about Korean history and culture.
