About the Tul(i)p School
What started
almost twenty years ago in the basement of a suburban Dutch family with just a
handful of students, has grown into a school that provides Dutch lessons for
elementary, middle and high school students at two Chicagoland locations.
Naperville
students meet every Thursday afternoon whereas the classes in Chicago are taught
on Saturday mornings. The Tul(i)p School, a non-for-profit organization, is the
first of its kind in the area and is supported by Stichting NOB (Nederlands Onderwijs in het Buitenland –
Dutch Education Worldwide). This Dutch
foundation, commissioned by the Ministry of Education, supports Dutch schools
worldwide by advising teachers and boards and by organizing annual workshops.
