Annebet (AH-neh-bet) van Mameren is an independent education consultant for international families in the Netherlands. She's Dutch and married to an American from Philadelphia. They are based in Amsterdam and have two teenage sons they are raising bilingually. Both boys attend a bilingual school.

Annebet has a thorough understanding of the unique educational challenges faced by international families when moving to the Netherlands. In 2013, she started New2NL to assist international parents with these important decisions in the lives of their children. She regularly shares her knowledge and experience through international magazines and websites and gives seminars and webinars on the Dutch education system to international companies, individual families, and at fairs. She also puts a lot of effort into bringing international families together and help them make new friends.

The Netherlands is a great country to live as a family because of the strong focus on a healthy work/life balance for parents, universal healthcare, high-quality public education, freedom and independence children enjoy, and safe bike paths everywhere. Most people have an international mindset, and almost everyone speaks decent English.

If you are contemplating relocating your family to the Netherlands, Annebet will help you navigate your school options. This can be either a Dutch, bilingual, or international school, depending on your needs, wishes, and expectations. Annebet will listen carefully to your story and provide you with the most suitable school options. She can also make comparisons between the Dutch and American systems to help you understand your options better.
