Admissions & lottery

• For school year 2026-2027, Amsterdam uses one central matching process (Centrale Loting & Matching).
• Main timeline: final primary-school advice by March 24, 2026; central application week March 25-31, 2026; placement result on April 9, 2026.
• You submit one ranked preference list. Schools first place students with priority (for example sibling rules), then remaining seats are assigned by lottery number and preference order.
• Not every program participates in this central matching. Practical education (`praktijkonderwijs`), international transition classes, and some special schools can have separate admission procedures.
• Official info and yearly updates: schoolkeuze020.nl and osvo.nl.
