Registering your child takes a few steps. Below we explain how it works.
Step 1: Wait for the letter from the municipality
Visit schools and make a top 3. See the page How do I choose a school? for tips.
Step 2: Set up your email reminder
Check on the page When to register? in which period you can register your child. You cannot register your child earlier than the start date of the period.
Step 3: Open the registration link on the first day
On the first day of your registration period, you will receive a personal email with the registration link to the central registration system. Open this link to start the registration.
- Your child's details (name, date of birth)
- Your own contact details
- A top 3 of schools where you want to register your child
- Whether your child needs extra support
Step 4: Fill in three preferred schools
In the registration form you provide three schools in order of preference. The school of first preference gets priority in placement. A second and third preference ensure that your child also gets a place if the first school is full.
Step 5: Confirm your registration
Check your details and confirm the registration. You will receive a confirmation by email. Within six weeks after closing of the registration period you will receive notification about the placement.

Registering twins or triplets? Read Special situations.
Changing registration
Did you make a mistake? Contact the school of your first preference by email. They can release the registration within the registration period so that you can fill in the form again. After closing of the registration period, changes are no longer possible.
