Școala Românească Amsterdam

The Romanian School Amsterdam is a weekend school for children and adults taught in Romanian.

Our motto: speak, think, feel Romanian.

A soul project of ROMPRO Romanians For Romanians Netherlands Foundation, the School is in line with its mission, vision and objectives, and operates under the aegis of the Foundation, both legally and administratively.

Based on an interactive and dynamic pedagogical concept, the School offers a variety of workshops, coordinated by Romanian teachers specialized in Romanian culture and civilization, plastic and dramatic arts, music and dance.

Through our courses and our dedicated teachers, we offer students a way to develop their Romanian language skills and introduce them to defining aspects of Romanian culture and customs.

Starting 13 November 2016, the Romanian School Amsterdam is mainly addressed to the Romanian and Moldovan community in Amsterdam and its surroundings, and through the Romanian language course for adults, including other nationalities.

Both children and parents are welcome to attend our courses, as the school is an opportunity to make friends, develop relationships and joint projects.

By participating in our workshops, children preserve their mother tongue, develop their ability to speak and write Romanian, learn about Romanian culture and traditions. On the occasion of traditional Romanian holidays we organize shows, competitions and thematic exhibitions. The stars, artists and creators of these events will be children.
