ABC Schools Program

English Books for Dutch Kids

Kids need to learn English in the modern world. We have lots of experience matching kids with books, so we gladly offer schools and parents the following to help them choose the best books.

Flash Fiction Challenge 2022

The ABC is proud to cooperate with Nuffic (the Dutch organization for internationalization in education) and Pauline van der Bilt for a writing contest aimed at pupils in their 1st and 2nd year. Participants are asked to write a short piece of fiction based on a moment at school which inspired them.

For more information about the Flash Fiction Challenge, please visit the website of Pauline van der Bilt.

Book Fairs (Boeken Braderie)

We can help you raise money for your school English library by holding a Book Fair (braderie). Just invite us to sell English books to parents, teachers and friends. Hundreds of books for € 8 or less. All you need to provide is a clean well-lit place for books and local publicity. We can come for just half a day or as part of a larger school event. 15% of sales will be credited to your school library account towards book purchases from ABC.

Email schools@abc.nl to discuss the possibilities.
