Euft van den Berg, from the Netherlands, founded MEES International School as a place where children can be children.

“With new technology constantly being developed, the world is changing, and it is necessary to prepare children for the challenges ahead; different skills will be demanded from them than are demanded from us today,” says van den Berg. “At MEES, we encourage children to think independently in a creative, lively and flexible environment filled with music, art and technology. We strive to build children’s confidence and plant the seed for the enjoyment of learning.”
