The long awaited and highly anticipated new club from the team behind Trouw opened its doors in January 2016 inside a former school building in Amsterdam West. De School Amsterdam holds a 24 hour licence, as its predecessor Trouw did before it, meaning that nights can be open ended. Some nights will end around 5am while others will go on until 9am or 10am, with the eventual goal to create a 24 hour culture where people can dance, eat, drink and enjoy the venue's cultural offerings at any time of the day.
