Bilingual Schools in The Hague, Netherlands - Which are best?

4 replies

We will be moving to The Hague in a few months and have decided to place our young teenagers into a bilingual school. We've read that they will make accommodations for the exams for students that do not know the language well, but this way they will hopefully learn the language more quickly.

Here is the list of schools that I believe are bilingual:

Dalton Den Haag
Hofstad Lyceum
Wateringse Veld College
Sint-Maartenscollege Voorburg
Rijnlands Lyceum Wassenaar

I haven't been able to locate ratings for the different schools and I'm hoping that someone on here might be able to help me figure out which ones are the top 2-3. Thank you!

How do you define bilingual?

Have you contacted any of them to find if they have places? It's usually the first step.

I didn't realize that public schools might not have space. Here in the States public schools have to make room if you are in their school district. At this point I was just trying to narrow down which ones were rated better so that we could determine what area to get temporary housing in while we tour the area and such. We will be moving right before school starts, so timing is going to be tight.

You need to start with finding a place before finding how good a school is. I'm not aware of any real rating system, Netherlands is a country of equality as far as it can be.

Is there a reason why you want a bilingual school and how do you define that? If your children have no Dutch, it will be better to place them in a school which can offer full immersion in a program designed for non Dutch speakers.

Netherlands also has a network of schools set up for children who may transit the country. They might be worth a look. ISH and European School den Haag are the secondaries in this network.
