In general

Our school The 6th Montessori School Anne Frank is the school where Anne Frank, in those days, spent her elementary/primary school years. One schoolroom is kept in the original state. But the 6th Montessori School Anne Frank is not a museum; it is a modern elementary school where the pupils are working on their own as well as in groups based on the principles of Maria Montessori.

Reviews from some of our parents:

I feel extremely lucky that our children can attend the Anne Frank Montessori school. It is a friendly, welcoming environment that our children truly love. The principal, Katja, is very dynamic and helps cultivate an inspiring and positive atmosphere. We appreciate the teachers, especially -- they do great work, individually and as a team. I've been very impressed with their methods and attitudes. My children are thriving and happy -- thank you! D.L.

I wish I could give Anne Frank six stars, because we could not be happier with the school. We were very nervous about putting our daughter into a Dutch primary school, given that she did not speak a word of Dutch when we moved to Amsterdam. But we didn't need to worry: Anne Frank has taken exceptionally good care of her for the past three years. She is now completely fluent in Dutch, reading and speaking the language as well as she reads and speaks her native one. Even more importantly, there has not been a single day when our daughter did not look forward to going to school. She has great friends, great teachers, and a fantastic head of school in Katja Rakic. If you are lucky enough to get a place for your child at Anne Frank, you'd be crazy not to take it.
