European Platform Schools

Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) schools that offer a bilingual stream of Dutch and English, and which are affiliated to the European Platform, can offer students the option of working towards an IB Diploma Programme certificate for either English A2 or English B Higher Level.

Only CLIL schools that meet the criteria of the European Platform for the standard for bilingual education qualify for participation. In addition, a limited number of schools who do not offer CLIL but do offer reinforced language learning can participate until the academic year 2009–2010.
