The Dutch School of Southern California is a 501(c)3 registered charity that provides high quality education in Dutch language and culture at campuses in Orange, San Diego & North Hollywood. Lessons take place on Saturdays for school-aged children who have roots in the Netherlands or Belgium. We rely on tuition, a subsidy from the Dutch government and on donations for our funding.

Fundraising is playing a more important role every year in sustaining the school’s mission. This year we are organizing a silent auction during our Sinterklaas celebration on December 2, 2023. This is an annual celebration of the birthday of St Nicolas in the Netherlands.  This event is the Dutch version of Christmas and we value preserving this piece of cultural heritage for the children of the Dutch School.

The Sinterklaas festivities and silent auction will take place at our school location in Tustin, CA. The entire proceeds of the silent auction will benefit the Dutch School of Southern California. 

We are seeking in-kind donations for our auction. This part of the event is crucial towards meeting our funding goal.  We realize that you receive many of these requests but let us assure you — a little can go a long way for our school.
