Holidays
When will you be free?
School is fun, but being off is sometimes too. On this page you will find the holiday schedule for this school year. Futuris follows the holiday calendar for secondary education in Amsterdam. The regulations in Amsterdam and Amstelveen are broadly similar. In addition to the holidays, there are a number of scheduled days off for pupils, partly around the summer holidays and partly for staff study days, report meetings and so on. These school-free days for pupils can be found in the holiday schedule and in Somtoday.

Frequently asked questions
Futuris provides a safe learning environment by actively addressing bullying behaviour and appointing a confidential advisor to whom pupils can turn. There is a bullying protocol and the mentor team plays an important role in identifying and resolving conflicts.
Mobile phones and tablets may be used in lessons only if the teacher gives permission, because they are necessary for an activity, for example. Outside lessons, you may use them during breaks.
Futuris’ mission is to provide inspiring and pupil-centred education in a safe, stable and warm environment. We prepare pupils for a promising future by helping them discover and further develop their talents in a socially relevant context.
