Dutch School Silicon Valley - At Home in the Dutch Language
Since 2001, the Dutch School Silicon Valley (DSSV) has provided high-quality education in the Dutch language and culture to children ages 2.5 to 18 as well as adults in the Bay Area. With a challenging curriculum aligned with the Dutch and Flemish school systems, we prepare students for a smooth (re-) integration into education there—whether for a temporary assignment or a future study choice.
