Anglia Netherlands

Since 1996, the English Education Group has been representing Anglia in the Netherlands. In our country, Anglia operates as an active network of approximately 350 member schools, spanning primary, secondary, and further education.

Each Anglia School has an Anglia Coordinator who is primarily responsible for organising Anglia activities within the school and serves as the main contact person for students. Anglia provides a range of materials, both online and in hard copy, to support these activities. The highest levels of service and support characterise our organisation. We take a personal approach and have adopted an international, cooperative mindset.

Our business model has always been to operate as a network while offering various supportive products and services. A perfect example is our own EEG Online Learning Platform. On our platform, we provide a range of courses for students and adults, developed by former Anglia Chief Examiner Liz Bangs-Jones, that will help them improve their English in a fun, innovative, and active way. This unique approach combines working online, live meetings with (international) teachers and students, and personal writing and speaking skills feedback based on Anglia CARAT and Speaking Test Criteria.

In addition, we digitally connect groups of students from different countries through our Building Bridges Project. Our English for Kids Foundation (EFKF) is a charity through which we aim to provide resources and create projects to teach English to the less privileged using Anglia materials.

We are an international network, and our mindset is driven by a desire to innovate and initiate new projects. We are always interested in exploring cooperation with new partners.
