Corporate Partner Solutions - Dutch School Navigator

Dutch School Navigator for Business

Securing the Family Foundation. Retaining Your Top Talent.

The #1 reason international assignments fail isn’t the role, it’s the family. When a partner can’t find their footing and children don’t thrive, even your best hire starts looking at the exit. We partner with HR departments and Global Mobility managers to solve both halves of that problem: getting children into the right school, and giving the whole family, including the accompanying partner, the language skills to actually build a life here.

Why HR Partners With Us

Risk Mitigation: Protecting your €100k+ investment in international talent by securing the family’s happiness: school placement and language integration, the two factors research consistently points to as decisive for early assignment failure.
Reduced HR Workload: Outsource complex pedagogical and bureaucratic school questions to a dedicated specialist.
Employer of Choice: Position your company as a leader in family-centric relocation, significantly boosting your recruitment power, including for candidates weighing a partner’s career and a family’s integration before they say yes.

Modular support for every stage of the international assignment.

One contract, zero paperwork, and direct access to educational expertise whenever your employees need it.

How Credits Work: Credits are our universal currency for all educational support services. Simply allocate credits to your employees, and we handle the rest.

5 Credits (€ 1.500): A full ‘School Placement’ trajectory (1 child).
5 Credits (€ 1.500): Dedicated ‘Office Hours’ Block (3.5 hours). A private, high-impact clinic for your team, assisting up to 7 employees in targeted 20-minute sessions. Includes advanced HR summary reporting.

Why HR Teams Prefer the Strippenkaart:

Instant Activation: Zero administrative friction. One email is enough to get started, no extra contracts or approvals required.
Total Privacy: We use secure, encrypted channels (Proton) to handle sensitive family and educational data.
Predictable Budgeting: Allocate your relocation support budget quarterly or annually.

Dutch lessons

Language Support for Your International Employees and Their Families

Alongside our school search services, Dutch School Navigator offers Classroom Confidence Courses, designed to help both children and adults build the language skills and confidence to truly settle in the Netherlands. All courses are designed and taught by a certified teacher with extensive NT2 experience.

Classroom Ready Little (ages 4-8): private lessons for the youngest learners
Classroom Ready Junior (ages 9-12) and Classroom Ready Teens (ages 13+): small group courses (2-5 students) focused on classroom confidence, from introducing yourself to following instructions and playground language
Real Life Dutch: an intensive one-week programme for adults, combining group lessons, practical assignments, and individual check-ins to get speaking and functioning in Dutch fast
Tailored private lessons: available for all ages, at any pace

We can also design a custom group course for your employees or their partners, tailored to your organisation’s needs, whether that’s a group of colleagues at a similar language level, a course focused on business Dutch, or a family-friendly track for partners settling in. This can be arranged as a one-off group, or built into a recurring offering for new arrivals throughout the year.

The Corporate Advantage

A Real Differentiator in Recruitment: Few employers offer structured language support for the whole family, not just the employee: a concrete answer when a candidate asks what happens to their partner’s life here.
One Trusted Partner, Two Needs Covered: The same specialist already handling school placement also handles language: no second vendor, no second onboarding, no split responsibility.

Pricing: This program can run through your Corporate Credits, or as a standalone arrangement, whichever fits your organization better. Exact scope and format (especially for custom group courses) vary per company, so get in touch for a personalized quote.

The Family Onboarding Program
