DAMChats 13) Dutch School Enrollment: What Happens After You Get Your First Choice?

The wait is finally over! Eva and Maren both held their breath alongside thousands of other parents in the Netherlands, and today they’re sharing the big news: they both secured their first-choice schools. But once the initial "phew" wears off, a new mountain of paperwork arrives. In this warm, honest, and direct DAMChat, we’re opening up those acceptance emails and comparing exactly what the schools are asking for.

From medical history and emergency contacts to "getting to know you" questionnaires, we break down the standard (and the surprising) requirements for enrollment. Whether you’re currently clutching your own acceptance sheet, still waiting for the lottery results, or just curious about how different Dutch schools handle the transition, this episode gives you an inside look at what to expect. Join us as we navigate the leap from "lottery winner" to "school parent" and help you get your paperwork—and your peace of mind—in order.
