Thursday, 19 September 2024, was a special day for the newly to be established International School Fryslan, featuring a successful support event filled with enthusiasm and positive energy. Various organisations came together to express their support and rally behind the application for a new international school on the southern side of Leeuwarden, at the location of IKC Middelsee. In collaboration with PCBO Leeuwarden and Sinne Kinderopvang, the application will be officially submitted to the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (OCW) at the end of this month.
All parties involved, including the school, childcare providers, the municipality, the province, universities, school boards, and various employers, signed the letter of intent. This support demonstrates the widespread desire to establish an international school in the region. The official application will be submitted to the ministry by 30 September, with the hope of receiving a positive decision by the end of 2024.
Now, we await the final approval from The Hague, but with such a strong collective effort and positive energy, we look forward with confidence to the outcome and the future!
