Elckerlyc International School & Montessori

Great school where the students' needs are handled on an individual basis. I'm always surprised by how involved the parents are with the class and school activities. Given the amount of nationalities represented at the school, there is a real multicultural and international vibe. It is common to hear multiple languages while in the corridors and kids learn to embrace that diversity as well as the local culture and traditions.

Unmistakably, my wife and I made the correct choice to enroll our son to Elckerlyc International School in Leiderdorp. We knew that the school is quite far from our home however the main reason to opt this school is just because it is small school and we wanted to have one to one approach from teachers. My son has started in group 2 and had some initial difficulties. The way his teachers have helped our son develop his individuality, while at the same time emphasizing self-discipline and respect towards others, has truly been an encouraging experience. Teachers are always approachable and have always provided timely feedback. My son has learned social skills enormously, he is courteous and respectful and more assertive. All thanks to Elckerlyc  We feel positive everyday as everyone from staff has a beautiful smile on their faces  Specially Mr. Paul Mos (Director) standing at gate greeting everyone with same enthusiasm. With Mr. Paul Mos and Ms Lesley De Quartel’s leadership school will be always surrounded with positive people. My son loved his teachers and he has mentioned that following teachers have spent good time and helped him to nourish his base. He would always remember them and their teaching would definitely help him in his upcoming future. Group 2: Ms Inez Du Preez & Ms Sue Goddard Group 3: Ms Winnie Ingolo Group 4: Ms Sharon Habesch & Ms Mairi Gillespie Group 5: Ms Christina Louwman Group 6 : Ms Joy Blundell & Ms Jackie Finch Group 7: Ms Colleen Cropp, Ms Nira Satgurunanathan, & Ms Catie Heemskerk Thank you very much to Elckerlyc International School for such an outstanding and heartening experience  Regards, Haresh Solanki & Payal Solanki

With overcrowded classes, there is little question of applying the method of Maria Montessori. The teachers have limited time and resources to guide the children in the right way. In addition to a regular Dutch, the Elckerlyc Montessori school also has an international department. Too much of the communication and image is unfortunately focused on the latter category.

I'm on this myself, next year for the last year. Well what can I say ... it's just a great school. NO bullying behavior, on the first day you already make several friends in whatever group year you start, 1 to 8, really very nice teachers who are good with the Montessori concept and I will really miss everyone here ❤️ love this school

Good school hidden in the town.
