Voluntary Parental Contribution

What is the voluntary parental contribution?

Schools may ask parents for a financial contribution. The conditions are that this contribution is voluntary and that the parents in the Participation Council have agreed to it. The purpose of the voluntary parental contribution is to pay for a number of things that are not or not sufficiently arranged by means of the payment of the government contribution. At the ISE, this includes small classes, extra teaching assistants, support in acquiring another language, support for learning and developmental difficulties, various extracurricular activities, school camps, school trips and visits within the framework of the curriculum. These facilities are necessary to maintain the quality of our education and to give your child memorable experiences that will be cherished after they leave school. The voluntary parental contribution is paid to the Stichting Internationaal Lokaal Funderend Onderwijs (SILFO). If you choose not to pay the voluntary parental contribution, this will never result in excluding your child from school activities.

In 2026/2026, in collaboration with the Participation Council, a foundation responsible for managing the funds collected through the Voluntary Parental Contribution Primary Dutch Bilingual initiative will be established.

For students of the Dutch Bilingual department of the ISE, a parental contribution of 2,450 euros has been set for the 2025/2026 school year.

The voluntary parental contribution can be paid in installments or in total. Parents receive information about payment of the parental contribution via the school office. To arrange payment by direct debit, you will need the following payment details:
