At Global Education Testing Haarlem, we work closely with families to provide comprehensive and internationally recognized Educational Psychology Assessments in Haarlem that reveal both learning challenges and untapped potential. Haarlem and its surrounding affluent communities of Bloemendaal, Aerdenhout, and Heemstede are home to discerning international families who commute to Amsterdam’s prestigious international schools and seek the highest educational standards for their children. We collaborate with international families from these distinguished areas, offering personalized Psychoeducational Assessments in Haarlem that align with their unique educational paths.
Our Educational Psychologists in Haarlem specialize in diagnosing learning differences such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD, anxiety, and dysgraphia, ensuring that International School Students receive the recognition and support they need. With these insights, we provide tailored recommendations for essential exam accommodations, including Extra Time in Exams for high-stakes tests such as iGCSE, A-Level, SAT, IB, AP, and university entrance exams. These accommodations are not about giving students an advantage—they ensure that every student has a fair opportunity to demonstrate their true abilities in a competitive academic environment.
Whether your child is preparing for entry into elite universities like Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Yale, MIT, or Stanford, or striving to excel within the demanding curricula of the region’s top international schools, our comprehensive Psychoeducational Evaluations in Haarlem provide the clarity and actionable strategies needed to turn ambitions into reality.
Haarlem may be renowned for its progressive education system, but when it comes to psychoeducational evaluations and assessments for international school students, the landscape presents unique challenges.
Yes, local Dutch educational psychologists in Haarlem and municipal services can diagnose conditions like dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD and anxiety. But here’s the reality: those municipal services are primarily designed for Dutch citizens and residents, with assessments typically conducted in Dutch and focused on the Dutch educational system. If your child attends a British, American, or IB curriculum school in Haarlem, those municipal reports often aren’t aligned with international academic requirements.
Psychoeducational services in the Netherlands are governed at the municipal level in Haarlem, and each municipality has different contracts and service providers. Educational Psychology Assessments conducted through municipal services in Haarlem are designed to support students in the Dutch system—not those sitting IGCSEs, A Levels, the IB or the SAT.
In short, they’re not built for the international school ecosystem.
“The challenge is that municipal services in Haarlem are excellent for Dutch students, but international families often find themselves in a gap—needing assessments that work across borders and educational systems. At Global Education Testing, we bridge that divide.” — Alexander Bentley-Sutherland, CEO, Global Education Testing
That’s why most international schools in and around Haarlem prefer or even require assessments conducted by internationally licensed educational psychologists—typically British HCPC-registered or similarly credentialed professionals from the United States or Australia. These specialists use gold-standard tools like the WISC-V, WIAT-4, and DSM-5, and produce formal reports in English, fully aligned with the requirements of Cambridge, Pearson, the IB, and US college boards.
All psychological assessments conducted through Global Education Testing Haarlem come from practitioners holding recognized credentials from established professional bodies. Our Educational Psychologists maintain registration with organizations including:
These credentials ensure that psychoeducational assessments for International Schools in Haarlem meet Global standards and will be recognized by educational institutions, examination boards, and government agencies worldwide. When students transition between countries or apply to competitive universities, families can be confident that their assessment documentation will be accepted without question.
For many exceptionally bright students at private and international schools in Haarlem, the difference between good and outstanding performance comes down to processing speed, test anxiety, or specific learning challenges that impact exam performance.
With properly documented accommodations like extra time, these students can transform potential into achievement, leveraging their strengths while minimizing the impact of processing differences.
Haarlem stands at the crossroads of Dutch excellence and international opportunity, with students who possess unlimited potential. Yet too often, undiagnosed learning challenges prevent these talented young minds from achieving the results they deserve. Comprehensive educational psychology testing in The Netherlands ensures your child isn’t merely participating, they’re excelling at the highest levels.
Educational psychology testing in Haarlem represents more than an academic intervention, it’s an investment in your child’s future success. At Global Education Testing Haarlem, we specialize in identifying obstacles, highlighting strengths, and providing the tools students need to excel.
Equip your child with the advantages they need to succeed, not just in examinations, but throughout their educational journey and beyond. With Global Education Testing Haarlem, exceptional performance isn’t just possible, it becomes the expected outcome.
International Assessment boards and universities require documentation months before examinations, and each missed deadline can significantly impact a student’s educational journey. While some families in Haarlem are quietly securing advantages through professional assessments, hesitation could place your child at a competitive disadvantage.
For international school students in Haarlem, our private psychoeducational evaluations go far beyond diagnosis, they provide a detailed academic blueprint that aligns with your child’s individual learning profile and future goals.

Undiagnosed ADHD can prevent even the most intelligent students from reaching their potential in Haarlem’s structured educational systems. Our comprehensive assessments uncover specific difficulties with focus, time management, and classroom engagement, offering tailored solutions to enhance academic performance. By securing essential examination accommodations such as extra time, separate rooms, and supervised breaks, we ensure that students can demonstrate their true abilities.

At Global Education Testing, we provide in-depth assessments for dysgraphia in Haarlem, helping students who struggle with handwriting, spelling, and organizing their written thoughts. In a city where academic standards are high and written work remains a key part of assessment, difficulties like these undermine a student’s performance and self-confidence if left unrecognized. Our Haarlem assessments pinpoint the specific challenges each student faces to support applications for exam accommodations.

Global Education Testing Haarlem delivers comprehensive SEN assessments, supporting students across the full range of Special Educational Needs. Whether a child is facing specific learning differences like dyslexia or dysgraphia, or broader challenges such as ADHD or anxiety, our evaluations are designed to identify the underlying issues that may be affecting academic progress. Early and accurate identification is key to unlocking the right support. Our assessments help secure appropriate support.
Extra time and other accommodations aren’t just for students who struggle, they’re strategic tools for ambitious learners aiming to perform at their full potential. Even high-achieving students in Haarlem’s international schools benefit enormously from the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities under optimized exam conditions.
International Education in Haarlem provides access to world-class academic pathways, but in competitive international school environments, future success often comes down to exam performance. Whether pursuing the IB Diploma, Cambridge IGCSEs and A-Levels, the American curriculum with AP and SATs, or preparing for specialist entrance exams like the MAT, STEP, or TSA, the pressure is intense. Without proper support, undiagnosed learning difficulties can quietly undermine a student’s chances; not because they lack ability, but because they haven’t had the chance to work under fair testing conditions.
Many students in Haarlem become adept at masking their challenges, developing coping mechanisms that get them through day-to-day learning. But these strategies often fall short under exam pressure. Accommodations like 25% (or more) extra time can be the key to unlocking top tier results, and with them, admission to competitive universities across Germany, Europe, the UK, and the United States.
Following our comprehensive educational psychology assessments, families in Haarlem receive a detailed multi-page diagnostic report that provides deep insight into their child’s unique learning profile. This comprehensive document identifies any diagnosed learning challenges, such as Dyslexia, ADHD, Anxiety, or other Special Educational Needs (SEN), and provides tailored recommendations for accommodations in examinations across both Dutch and international curricula.
At Global Education Testing Haarlem, we understand the extraordinary pressure faced by students in this competitive academic environment. That’s why our approach extends beyond simple diagnosis to provide parents with strategic advantages through actionable insights and globally recognized recommendations that enable their children to excel academically and reach their full potential.
Whether your family is targeting Haarlem’s prestigious international schools or elite universities in Europe and abroad, our assessments prepare students to meet these challenges with confidence.
Confidentiality and privacy are fundamental to our practice. Parents in Haarlem maintain complete control over how and when their child’s results are shared, and in an area where academic excellence is paramount, our comprehensive assessments provide the tools to help every student achieve their highest ambitions.

The total fee for a full psychoeducational assessment in Haarlem is EUR 2.700 per student. This includes:
Step 1: Intake and Background
After booking, we’ll send you a secure intake form to complete. This includes consent, background information, and any previous reports. We may also request teacher input. All information is handled confidentially and stored on our encrypted, HIPAA-compliant platform.
Step 2: Pre-Assessment Interview
We arrange a deep dive Zoom call (approx. 50 minutes) with you as the parent to discuss your concerns, clarify background information, and ensure we understand your goals for the assessment. Your child is not present for this stage.
Step 3: Testing Session
Testing typically takes place online over one day, lasting approximately 4 to 5 hours with breaks. For children aged 11 and under, we usually recommend splitting testing over two consecutive days (2 hours per session) to maintain concentration.
The psychologist works one-on-one with your child via a secure video platform. Most tasks are screen-based, with some verbal and paper-based activities. For younger children or certain subtests (e.g., symbol recognition, visual-motor tasks), we’ll send materials in advance by email or courier with instructions for how to prepare. A parent or trusted adult can be nearby throughout for safeguarding purposes but does not participate in the session.
Step 4: Report Writing
Within 7 days of testing (the fastest turnaround time in Haarlem), you’ll receive a full written diagnostic report. This includes:
Step 5: Follow-Up and Clarification
After receiving the report, we offer a follow-up meeting to answer any questions, discuss findings, and support implementation. If your child’s school in Haarlem needs a version tailored to their internal protocols or exam access team, we can adjust language or formatting accordingly. Our International Educational Psychologists are available for any follow up therapy that may be required, or you are free to choose your own local therapeutic intervention in Haarlem.
