With LGA to the Netherlands

The Netherlands is a country in western Europe. Together with some islands in the Caribbean, they belong to the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The country is about the size of Switzerland, but has twice as many inhabitants. It consists of twelve provinces. Amsterdam is the capital of the country. However, the Dutch government and parliament work in The Hague. Another big city is Rotterdam with one of the largest ports in the world. There are many types of cheese in the Netherlands. The most famous is probably that of Gouda, a city in the province of North Holland. The locals find the ?stamppot?, a mixture of potatoes and kale, really Dutch. There is also a smoked sausage.

Schools

Tuition at school is a very important part of the high school program. Students attend a regular secondary school close to the host family and are placed in a HAVO or VWO class depending on their age and level.

Host families

Host families in the Netherlands are very open and welcoming. Of course, they are carefully selected and checked. The families come from different cultures and are happy to welcome you into their midst. You share everyday life with them and have rights and obligations. A completely new lifestyle awaits you, which you will quickly get to know and love.
