Hi Christina,
At the moment we're also looking into going back to Holland. As far as i have understood there is one primary international school in Groningen; GSV http://www.g-s-v.nl/.
Normally kids in Holland start school in the week they turn 4 years old but i think the international school looks at the year they are born. The school fees are salary based, but you can find all the information on the link i just gave you.
If all goes well my kids will be starting in september this year (7 and 8 years old)
Housing is very expensive because we're searching in the so called 'free market' be prepared to pay 1000€ + for a family house.
Not sure about living costs as i haven't been living myself in Holland for over 15 years now.
Good luck!
Heleen

Hi Christina,
Have you arrived in Groningen?
My daughter is not yet of school age, so I don't have any information about that.
Regarding living expenses, it will mostly depend on where in the city you would like to live, and how many bedrooms you will need. For a two bedroom apartment relatively close to the centrum, you can probably expect to pay from 500 to 1000 euro a month inclusive, depending on the size.
If there is any specific information that you would like help with, feel free to ask!
