Many international schools in The Hague are partly funded by the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, which means that, while they have greater flexibility when it comes to the curricula and teaching methods, they’re still required to meet the ministry's standards.
Most of these schools offer the Cambridge IGCSE and A-levels or the International Baccalaureate, but there are some international schools that follow the curriculum of a specific country.
Below is a list of some of the most prominent international schools in The Hague.
