Transport to school

The basic principle is that children are taken to school by their parents (if under 10 years of age) or walk to school on their own. If the cycling distance to Wereldschool De Vlinder is more than 4 km,  and you are unable to take your child to school yourself, the local authority will endeavour to arrange temporary transport for these children. Read more about getting to school.
