Schools in the organisation

The organisation comprises eight schools:[1][7]

The Rijnlands Lyceum Oegstgeest, Rijnlands Lyceum Sassenheim and Rijnlands Lyceum Wassenaar offer three streams of Dutch secondary education: "pre-vocational secondary education" (MAVO), "higher general continued education" (HAVO), and "preparatory scientific education" (VWO). They also offer bilingual education, in English and Dutch. In addition the Rijnlands Lyceum Oegstgeest has an international department offering the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (IB MYP) and International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP).

The International School of The Hague constitutes a primary and secondary school, offering the International Primary Curriculum, the MYP and the IB DP.[8]

The European School The Hague opened in 2012, initially offering primary-level education, with its secondary cycle operating from 2014. The school is accredited by the Board of Governors of the European Schools to offer the European Baccalaureate bilingual diploma as its secondary leaving qualification. It prioritises, for enrolment purposes, the children of European Union staff and other non-EU European institutions based nearby.[9]

The Eerste Nederlandse Montessorischool is a primary school offering a Montessori education.[10]
