Understand the challenge. Work towards your goal.
IB Diploma subjects ask you to do more than recall what you have learned. Work with an IB tutor in Rotterdam to connect ideas, evaluate evidence and explain your answers with greater confidence.
Our at-home lessons give you time to focus on your own questions. From regular subject support to preparation for mocks and final exams, your tutor works with your course, level and priorities.

FAMILIAR SCHOOLS. INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS.
Acady has supported students from Rotterdam International Secondary School (RISS) and Nord Anglia International School Rotterdam (NAISR). Both schools offer the IB Diploma Programme.
Their routes into the Diploma differ. RISS includes an IGCSE stage, while NAISR also offers a High School Diploma pathway. Your tutor works from your actual IB course and assessment requirements, rather than assuming every student follows the same programme.
We have strong working relationships with many IB schools. The schools listed here reflect the students we have supported; inclusion does not necessarily indicate a formal partnership or endorsement.
