Collaborative partnership
The ISE is an accredited Council of International School (CIS) which has a community of more than 1,525 schools and universities in 123 countries around the world. The CIS provides schools with professional development, networking opportunities, resources, research, and expert guidance to support schools to improve the quality of international education.
The school is also part of a group of Dutch International Schools (DIS) in the Netherlands that supports each other through professional development and sharing of best practice for international schools in the Netherlands.
The school is affiliated with “ORION”, a collaborative group of other Dutch regional schools, which supports educational development (www.orionnxt.nl).
The school has partnerships with local agencies that help provide specialist support and advice to the school and to the parents. These include the youth health organisation (Gemeentelijke Gezondheidsdienst, GGD) who can provide the support of a school doctor and a nurse. Also, the Lumens Group, located in Eindhoven, provides a school social worker for the ISE. Furthermore, the Regionaal Samenwerkingsverband (RSV) can provide support to the school to manage certain learning needs of students. In processes related to attendance the school collaborates with an attendance officer provided by the municipality Eindhoven.
