Growing up with room to breathe and room to play

Spread across all cities and villages, you will find daycare centers, after-school care, childcare agencies, and childminders. So you never have to travel far for the care of your baby, toddler, or preschooler. Keep in mind that many childcare organizations in Venlo have a waiting list, so register your child in time! 

Is your child ready for primary school? Then in Venlo, there is a diverse range of primary schools to choose from. In every district and village of Venlo, except in Boekend, you will find at least one primary school. 

Venlo has three secondary schools: the Valuascollege in the center of Venlo, College Den Hulster in Venlo-South, and the Blariacumcollege in Blerick. The three schools are part of the Educational Community Venlo & Surroundings (OGVO), but each has its own identity. For example, Valuascollege offers additional education focused on art, dance, and musicals. The schools are easily accessible on foot, by bike, or by public transport. Join us for open house and trial days, and decide together with your child.

You don't have to leave Venlo for further education either. In Venlo, you will find Gilde Opleidingen, Fontys Universities of Applied Sciences, HAS green academy, and Maastricht University, Campus Venlo. Venlo excels in logistics, agrofood, and manufacturing. Many courses in Venlo, therefore, prepare students for a career in these sectors. This is done in collaboration with local companies and knowledge organizations such as Brightlands Campus Greenport Venlo. So, there is no shortage of career opportunities!
