About international schools in The Hague, Netherlands

The Hague’s international-school sector is shaped by a large diplomatic and international-organisation community, so families will find a mix of fully English-medium schools, national-curriculum schools (British, American, German, French) and specialised options such as the European School and Dutch state schools offering bilingual tracks. Curricula commonly available include International Baccalaureate programmes, the International Primary Curriculum, and national systems delivered in English or the language of the school’s national section. Annual tuition in the Netherlands varies widely by school type: many international schools fall between roughly €5,500 and €15,000 a year, while state-subsidised international streams typically charge notably less (often in the low-to-mid thousands range). Admissions follow the Dutch school year (typically starting in August/September), with many schools operating rolling entry, waiting pools and formal document checks (recent school reports, proof of identity and any educational assessments).

FAQs for Netherlands

What different curricula will my child encounter in The Hague and how do they affect later moves?
You will commonly see the International Baccalaureate (IB), national systems taught in English (British or American school programmes), the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) in younger years, and the European School model with language sections. IB and many national diplomas are designed for international mobility and are widely recognised by universities; national curricula may align more closely with a particular country’s system if you expect to return there.
How much should we budget for school fees in The Hague?
Tuition varies by school type: privately run international schools often sit in the mid-range to high end of national fees, while subsidised or state-linked international streams charge substantially less. Expect a broad range rather than a single number and always ask each school for its full fee schedule, including one-off enrolment fees, transport and extras.
When should we apply and what documents are typically required?
Most schools align with the August/September school year and accept applications year-round, but popular year groups can quickly reach capacity and invoke waiting lists or pools. Schools generally request recent school reports, proof of identity, vaccination records where applicable, and any educational-psychology reports or Individual Education Plans for children with additional needs; some schools also run entry interviews or assessments.
Will my child be taught Dutch, or will lessons be only in English?
Many international schools teach mainly in English but include regular Dutch lessons and support for mother-tongue languages; the European School and bilingual state tracks deliver significant instruction in their language sections. If long-term integration into Dutch society is a priority, look for programmes that offer sustained Dutch language learning and links with local schools.
What should parents compare when choosing between international schools in The Hague?
Compare curriculum alignment with your family’s plans, language provision (mother-tongue and Dutch), the school’s approach to supporting newly arrived students, class sizes and pastoral care, and the total cost including extras. Also ask about transition support, university or next-step guidance for older students, and how the school monitors and reports progress so you can judge fit for your child’s academic and social needs.
