Accreditation

We are here to provide high quality learning for all our learners across the school.

We are accredited by the International Baccalaureate (IB), The Dutch Inspection and the Council of International Schools (CIS). We are required to continuously meet the standards set by these bodies.

IB programmes

The International School Utrecht is an IB World School, offering a complete and connected International Baccalaureate programme. The International Baccalaureate® – now in its 50th year! – is a non-profit educational foundation, motivated by its mission, focused on the student.

CIS Accredited

Accreditation by the Council of International Schools (CIS) is a worldwide recognised quality label for international schools. Whereas the International Baccalaureate focuses on the curriculum, the CIS focuses on the operational side of a school. International School Utrecht was accredited by the Council of International Schools in November 2020.

This marked the end of a 3-year self-study process in which staff, students and parents worked across the CIS domains to see which improvements should and could be made. Being accredited also marks the beginning of a continuous process of self-evaluation and innovation, as this job is never done.

The Dutch inspection

The Dutch Inspection (Nederlandse Onderwijsinspectie) visited the primary department of the ISUtrecht in April 2016. The inspection visit resulted in a very positive report (only available in Dutch).
