& Culture Education
Stay connected with the Dutch language and culture — even in the Bay Area
Since 2001, the Dutch School Silicon Valley (DSSV) has offered inspiring education in Dutch Language and Culture (NTC) in the Bay Area to children ages 2.5 to 18 and to adults. As the only NTC school in Northern California, we are supervised by the Dutch Inspectorate of Education and the Foundation for Dutch Education Abroad, and we provide top-quality education.
