Join in for a writing class in the weekends and vacations and learn to write with a dip pen. It's fun and educational for everyone.

In bygone days

In the Netherlands, the state government plays a central role in education. The result is an extended network of public schools funded by the state. Compulsory education was introduced in 1901. Children between the ages of 6 and 12 had to attend school from that time onward. There, they learned to write neatly, speak clearly (pronunciation) and were given visual education via didactic pictures.
