Introduction
De Luchtballon is a Dutch Language and Culture school for children aged 4 to 14 who have a connection to The Netherlands or Belgium, and can speak or understand Dutch or Flemish. The objective is for the children to learn to read, write and speak Dutch at our school, and to broaden their vocabulary. In addition to the language, we also focus on Dutch and Belgian culture and traditions, which includes celebrating national holidays such as King's Day, and other festivities such as Sinterklaas (Saint Nicholas Day). The school is based in Chester, in the north-west of England. Classes run on Saturday mornings in term time, from 9:15 am until 12:30 pm.
