Zomer Dutchclub week

August 10-14th 2026 we organize the Summer Dutchclub. During the Dutchclub lessons, the children playfully work with the Dutch language, learn new words and gain more confidence in speaking Dutch. The mornings (09.30-12.00 hr) are especially for kleuters (children in group 1 & 2). The afternoon group (13.00-15.30 hr) is also for group 3-6. Please send an email to dutchclub@basisclub.nl to sign up.

Individual Summer lessons are also possible.

For whom?

This week is for children with Dutch as a second (or third) language who would like to improve their Dutch this summer. The morning is for the younger children (group 1 & 2), the afternoon is also for the older children (group 3-6).

* Depending on the registrations, the groups may be adjusted.

Why should you join?

It is a great opportunity to get used to speaking Dutch again before schools starts after the Summerbreak. Every child is encouraged to be themselves within the small-scale, encouraging and cozy environment of the Dutchclub. The group consists up to 8 children and are supported by 2 teachers from the Dutchclub. During the lessons, the children are classified according to age and/or language skills.

Testimonials

We have chosen the Basisclub because our sons could use some support planning and doing homework and also tackling those subjects that they need some extra help with. We find it important that this is done in a positive, pleasant environment. We found this at the Basisclub in spades; we are very satisfied! The boys enjoy going there and love to receive the support they need, at their own pace with the help of great tutors. In short, we highly recommend it!

I want to say a big thank you to the team of the Summer Week! Our daughter has had another fantastic week!! So clever how you and all those children provide a good, interesting, exciting and cultural program, and at the same time keep the parents satisfied with nice photos and good lessons. In short, we are very impressed with what you have accomplished!

My daughter has had a great time with you and has progressed. Moreover, she has learned to realize that if you work seriously at something, you also get better at it. Something that is also important for secondary school.

I would definitely recommend the Dutch Summer Week to other children. Especially for children who do not speak much Dutch at home and who want to speak Dutch more freely in a familiar environment (small group). A perfect balance between learning and fun! The girls would have loved to have come another week.

The gap in basic knowledge made her dizzy during the lessons in the classroom and she increasingly got the feeling that she "really doesn't understand a thing". The proud, eureka feeling after an afternoon at the Basisclub was worth gold. She is also strengthened in the confidence that if she does her best, she can get better. Replacing the hopeless feeling with decisiveness. What a beautiful result.

Location

During this week we meet at the Basisclub in Amsterdam Zuid (Olympiakade 8)
