Dutch 1 x International xxx Schools The Dutch International Schools (DIS) are a group of schools providing internationally oriented education in the Netherlands, thus serving the needs of the international community. The group consists of primary and secondary schools and, as a network, cooperates in many areas, in particular quality management and professional development of staff. DIS schools are a Dutch government initiative that was established to offer state financed educational provision to help meet the needs of the expatriate community. The subsidy allows the schools to offer high quality international education at competitive fees.
1 x Governance xxx ISUtrecht is governed by two cooperating local school boards: SPO Utrecht (Stichting Openbaar Primair Onderwijs Utrecht) and NUOVO (Stichting Openbaar Voortgezet Onderwijs Utrecht). SPO Utrecht is the board for 38 non-denominational primary schools in Utrecht and NUOVO is the board for 14 non-denominational secondary schools in and around Utrecht. The SPO Utrecht and NUOVO work together closely in carrying out their board responsibilities for the two divisions of ISUtrecht. ISUtrecht is partly state funded and is accountable to the Dutch Ministry of Education regarding the quality and provision of its educational programmes. Members of the Dutch International Schools are all affiliated to a national school. Through the school boards ISUtrecht is affiliated with the Dalton School Rijnsweerd, a Dutch primary school governed by the SPO Utrecht, and UniC, a Dutch secondary school governed by NUOVO.
