Holidays

School is fun, but being off sometimes too. On this page you will find the holiday schedule for this school year. Futuris follows the holiday scheme of secondary education in Amsterdam. The regulations in Amsterdam and Amstelveen are broadly similar. In addition to the holidays, a number of schedule-free days are planned for students, partly around the summer holidays and partly for school study (mid)days, report meetings and so on. The timetable-free days can be found in the calendar and in Somtoday.

Are you looking for information about Futuris? Chances are you’ll find it in the school guide. From the curriculum to school rules and all kinds of practical matters: you can read about it in the school guide.

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 mentoring 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 used in class, 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.

School days usually start at 08:30 and end between 14:30 and 15:30, depending on your timetable and any profile or practical classes. More information can be found in the lessons table.
