Playgroups
At present, there are very few international playgroups catering to pre-school children. As there are many expat families with young children there is a likely to be a long waiting list so it would be wise to make contact and enroll your child before you arrive.

Preschool, primary and secondary education
There are several schools in Tripoli catering to international students. Classes range from pre-school through to Secondary School. Pre-school admissions begin at 3 years, with the exception of the International School who offer a pre-nursery/kindergarten class for 2 year olds.
It is highly advisable to register your child on the waiting list before you arrive as places, particularly in nursery/kindergarten and reception classes, are limited.

After School Classes
Dutch School Tripoli
The ‘Dutch School Tripoli’ opened in January 2010 and is an NTC (Nederlandse Taal & Cultuur) school, which means it only focuses on Dutch language and culture and the lessons are provided as an after-school activity. The school is accessible for all children from 4-12 years old, with at least one Dutch (or Flemish) speaking parent.
Although situated in Tripoli, the school is based in the Netherlands and we work according to Dutch law. The school has been acknowledged by the NOB (Dutch Education Abroad) organization, which means we will be subsidized by the Dutch government.
We started the school with 16 students, one teacher and one assistant teacher. Lessons are on Sunday afternoon for the young children, Monday afternoon for the older ones, and every six weeks there is a cultural event at the weekend.
The lessons are given in the Wintershall social house in the OEA compound, and Shell is sponsoring the Shell children. If you meet any new Dutch families, please tell them about our school, and we are especially interested in Dutch newcomers with a teaching background!
