History of school
School named after Spinoza was first founded as The First Hague Russian school in September 2011 with 25 children, 3 teachers and 1 director. That was the start. January 25th, 2012 is the official birthday of our organization. In 2017 we celebrated our fifth anniversary with a team of 12 teachers and 80 students. Currently over 100 children attend our classes.
Keeping in mind the perspectives of development, we have realized that we are engaged not only in teaching of Russian language, but also in the development of multilingual children.
Therefore, we paid attention to other directions and thought about a multilingual development center.
The Spinoza School is a new name and a new designation for our school, which has become international and continues to work on the diverse development of multilingual children.
In May 2018 French classes have opened, preparing Italian and Spanish for the start.
Our teachers strive to make sure that your child obtains sufficient information and masters the ways of thinking, learning and communicating that would be useful to him as a person of the world in the present and in the future. The results of the past years have shown us that our approach ensures the complete development of multilingual children. This inspires us further to go on in the chosen direction with creative and effective work.

Become a friend of our foundation!
Spinoza Foundation of extracurricular learning for Multilingual Children strives to improve and broaden its existing activities, develop new activities with your financial support.
Therefore, we kindly invite you to become a Friend of our Foundation. You can transfer a certain amount of money monthly or yearly beside your usual tuition fees. You can declare and deduct this amount with your income tax declaration. This can be done because the Dutch Tax Authority recognizes our Foundation as a Public Benefit Organization.
Periodical donations are the most attractive from the fiscal point of view as the whole amount is deductible, without a maximum amount being set. If you transfer the same amount yearly for a minimum of 5 years, the Dutch Tax Authority will pay you back between 40% and 50% of this amount. For this reason, we have to frame this donation into a written agreement (notary is no longer required). You can read more about it on the website of the Dutch Tax Authority.
