Online NTC Classes
Online Dutch education – Wherever you live in Africa!
Keep learning Dutch, even from a distance
Does your family live in Africa and would you like your child to keep developing their Dutch? Even when there is no Dutch-language school nearby, your child is welcome with us!
With our online NTC classes (Dutch Language and Culture) we bring Dutch School Nairobi into your home. This way Dutch and Flemish children stay connected to their language, culture and roots, wherever they live.
Personal, interactive and tailored
Our online lessons are much more than an hour of Dutch behind a screen. We create a warm and stimulating learning environment in which children actively speak, read, write and listen to Dutch.
We deliberately work with small groups of 2 to a maximum of 5 pupils. This gives every child plenty of personal attention and lots of room for interaction, playful learning and collaboration. Private lessons are available on request.
Our experienced teachers tailor the lessons to the language level, age and educational needs of the pupils.
How do our online lessons work?
- One interactive online lesson per week of 60 minutes, with at least 33 lessons per school year.
- Small groups, so every pupil can take an active part.
- Independent work between lessons, matched to the child's level and supported by the parents.
- Google Classroom as the digital learning platform for materials, assignments and communication.
- Targeted teaching following the NOB learning pathways, covering all Dutch language skills.
- Monitoring of language development, including a method-independent Diataal test at the end of the school year.
We use varied and engaging materials, including Tis Taal, Junior Einstein and Nieuwsbegrip. Dutch and Flemish culture also has a place in our lessons.
Working together on language development
Good online education requires collaboration. Our teachers guide the pupils during lessons and follow their development. Parents also play an important role in encouraging Dutch at home and supporting independent work.
Together we make sure children keep developing their Dutch language skills, even when their daily education is in another language.
Who is it for?
Our online NTC classes are intended for Dutch and Flemish children living outside Nairobi, in African countries where there is no in-person NTC school nearby.
Whether you have lived abroad for years or have only recently moved: we are happy to look at which options suit your child's language level and needs.
