De School was a club and cultural complex located in the western part of Amsterdam. Founded in 2016, the complex consisted of a nightclub, concert venue, restaurant, cafe, gallery space, artist residency, and gym.[1] The club, which occupied a former education complex, was operated by Post CS BV, the company also responsible for the since-closed nightclub Trouw.[2][3] The club has hosted artists such as DJ Sprinkles, Theo Parrish, Cinnaman, Wata Igarashi, and I-F. De School's nightclub, located in the former school's bicycle storage basement, had a capacity of 700 and had a 24-hour license.[4] In 2020, DJ Magazine announced De School to be the 39th club on the list of top 100 clubs worldwide.[5] In The Netherlands, De School was considered to be the leading club and cultural venue of its time.[6] The complex additionally served as the headquarters of Subbacultcha,[7] a local magazine and concert subscription service. The club was temporarily closed in 2020 amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and opened again in September 2022. In January 2024, the club closed its doors indefinitely, due to expiring municipal permits and building plans on site.
