Stedelijk College Eindhoven at Henegouwenlaan is a Dutch public secondary school offering mavo, havo and vwo. Bilingual education is available in havo and vwo, but it is not an English-medium IB Diploma programme.
Stedelijk College Eindhoven is a Dutch public secondary school with two sites. This profile covers Henegouwenlaan 2, 5628 WK Eindhoven, where students can follow mavo, havo, atheneum or gymnasium. The school also offers bilingual havo and vwo.
The other site, Oude Bossche Baan, has a different programme mix. Families should confirm the correct location before attending an event or making an application.
Stedelijk is a day school. It does not advertise boarding.
Henegouwenlaan offers the following mainstream routes:
The bilingual programme, usually called TTO, is available only in havo and vwo. It is not offered in mavo. Mavo students can instead choose an enhanced-English programme with an extra English lesson each week.
In TTO, the school says that 50% of lessons are taught in English in the lower years. That proportion falls to 25% in the upper years, when students prepare for Dutch national examinations.
There is no separate TTO entrance test. The school presents the route as suitable for students who enjoy languages and want an international element within Dutch secondary education.
The upper school offers IB English Language and Literature to native speakers. This is an individual subject, not the full IB Diploma Programme. Students still work towards a Dutch havo or vwo qualification.
The school’s live calendar lists the central Year 1 application period as 25–31 March 2027. Applications in the Eindhoven–Kempenland region are normally coordinated through the LDOS system.
The detailed Henegouwenlaan admissions page has not yet been updated for 2027–28. It still describes the March 2026 cycle, which is closed. Families should therefore use the 2027 dates as advance planning information and check the detailed procedure when the school updates it.
Current orientation events include:
The calendar also lists TTO try-outs on 4 November 2026 and 13 January 2027. Registration may be required for those smaller events.
Places are managed by year, level and programme. A central allocation is not the same as final admission. Ask the school when it will publish the complete 2027–28 procedure and any capacity rules.
Stedelijk is a public school and does not publish an international-school tuition fee. Its current contribution page is still labelled 2025–26, so these figures should not be treated as confirmed charges for 2026–27 or 2027–28.
The page lists a general voluntary parental contribution of €90. It also gives the following 2025–26 amounts:
| Item | Published amount |
|---|---|
| Year 1 camp | €110 |
| Physical education as an examination subject | €45 |
| Drawing materials | €30 |
| TTO Year 1, including the €90 contribution but excluding camp | €170 |
| TTO Years 2–3, including the €90 contribution | €245 |
| TTO Years 4–6, including the €90 contribution | €180 |
The school describes these payments as voluntary. Trips and exchanges are billed separately, and their prices are not published on this page. Ask for the current-year schedule before making a budget.
The published 2026–27 schedule uses 45-minute lessons. The first lesson begins at 08:30, and the ninth ends at 16:30. A student’s actual finish time depends on the timetable.
The school offers Dutch-as-a-second-language support through its International Student Programme. It advises many students who are still learning Dutch to enter a Dutch-medium mavo, havo or vwo route rather than TTO. This is because most upper-school subjects and the final examinations are in Dutch.
Families whose child needs substantial support should discuss the school’s support profile before applying. Admission depends on both available places and whether the school can provide an appropriate programme.
Stedelijk suits families looking for a Dutch secondary qualification with the option of additional English in havo or vwo. It is not an international school in the usual sense, and TTO does not remove the need for strong Dutch.
International School Eindhoven is a different type of school. It offers English-medium international primary education and IB secondary programmes, with statutory eligibility rules and annual fees.
Official pages and documents we read. If a figure matters to your budget or your application, open the link and confirm it is still current.
Friendly orientation, not an application. Dates, fees, and programme details move. Confirm everything with the school.
International School Eindhoven has English-medium international education, a Dutch–English bilingual primary department and IB secondary education. The three departments share one school but not the same admissions rules.
WassenaarASH is a private day school in Wassenaar offering an American diploma with IB and AP options. Families should budget for annual tuition and capital fees, plus a separate enrolment charge. Special Education carries an additional annual fee.
AmsterdamAICS is a state-funded Dutch international day school for internationally mobile families. It offers the full IB continuum in English across two Amsterdam campuses. Statutory eligibility, available places and support capacity all matter before a place can be offered.
Bergen NHEuropean School Bergen is a day school for ages 4–18, with English, Dutch and French language sections and the European Baccalaureate. Admission rights and fees depend on the pupil category. Families paying tuition should resolve a discrepancy between the school’s own 2026–27 table and the central European Schools figures before accepting a place.
ISE separates international primary, Dutch-bilingual primary and IB secondary. Stedelijk College offers Dutch secondary qualifications with optional bilingual teaching, not the IB Diploma.
7 minStart with the qualification your child would actually receive. Then check its subjects, language demands, and recognition in the countries where they may study next.
7 minStart with your child and the family's likely plans. Define the non-negotiables, verify the school's claims, compare three realistic options and visit with specific questions.
7 minTuition is only one line of the budget. Separate charges from advance payments, record what each figure includes, and ask the school to confirm your calculation in writing.
