In 1983, Het Nederlands Lyceum, the oldest Lyceum group of schools in the country, opened the international stream at their school in The Hague. In 1991, the school was closed and taken over by the Rijnlands Lyceum Wassenaar (RLW). The school was renamed The International School of The Hague and maintained its original building in The Hague while being affiliated to RLW as their international stream. The school was for 11–18-year-olds. The International School of The Hague (ISH), both Primary & Secondary, is part of the Rijnlands Lyceum Foundation, an educational organization for secondary and primary education in The Hague and Leiden. The schools within the foundation offer national and international programs. The eight schools which are part of this organization are overseen by the Chairman of the executive board for Rijnlands, Mr. Arjan Kastelein. As a partially subsidized school, which is also supported by the Ministry of Education, besides receiving fees from parents, ISH operates by the rules and regulations for Primary & Secondary education in the Netherlands. Both the Primary and Secondary schools at ISH have their School Principal who reports directly to the executive board's Chairman. They are supported in the day to day running of the campus by the Director of Operations. Each Principal has a leadership team for their school, and the administration team for both sections is under the supervision of the school's Senior Leadership Team. ISH is very much one school and ensures that there is parity (where possible) with curriculum issues between the schools and that there are ample opportunities for school-wide events in which all stakeholders are included. The staff at The International School of The Hague (ISH) in Primary and Secondary are a committed group of professional teachers. Like our student population that comes from all over the world, so do our teachers. All teachers at ISH are university graduates and have teaching qualifications. Many of our teachers have international experience and are experienced curriculum practitioners in International Primary Curriculum (IPC) and International Baccalaureate (IB). We are open-minded, critical thinkers who learn through inquiry, reflection, and engaging with different perspectives. We learn about ourselves and the world around us through service and experiential learning. We are independent and interdependent life-long learners. We take pride in the strength of our community and the diversity within it. We value our identities and celebrate cultural diversity. We connect with local and global communities through our learning. Our Primary program seeks to develop the child's intellectual, social, and emotional, physical, and aesthetic potential. Our philosophy is to help students reach their full potential as individuals in the local and global community. ISH recognizes that all students can learn and that they learn at different rates and have different learning styles, abilities, and interests. We encourage children to learn through inquiry, reflection, and engaging with different perspectives on lifelong learning. The International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (IB MYP) is a curriculum framework designed to offer inclusive, challenging, and age-appropriate education to students aged 11 to 16. The MYP aims to develop students' personal, social, and emotional wellbeing as they acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that will support their further learning. The curriculum is underpinned by the IB Learner Profile, which consists of 10 attributes that embrace the whole person's development. Students learn through inquiry, action, and reflection across eight subject groups connected through key concepts and global contexts. They develop approaches to learning skills across the different subjects that empower them to manage their learning, meet the different subjects' objectives, and prepare them for life-long learning. In all years of the program, students are required to engage in the school's Service and Action program that develops their awareness of local and global issues and their commitment to helping others. In the final year of the MYP students complete the Personal Project, an independent piece of work. The MYP provides an excellent foundation for the IB DP. -

At the International School of Hamburg, we are in a continual process of reinvention and renewal. While we celebrated our 60th anniversary in 2017, we like to believe that we are young in spirit and that our best years still lie ahead. The Hanseatic City of Hamburg and ISH have forged a deeply-rooted partnership since our inception in 1957. As the third-largest port in Europe, our host city is a global melting pot and one of the most cosmopolitan cities in Germany. The overall quality of life and the outstanding natural environment that Hamburg offers make it a very desirable destination for expatriate families. It is small enough to navigate easily on foot, bicycle, or by public transport, and large enough to offer a sophisticated urban vibe and world-class shopping, dining, and culture. Our curricula—the International Primary Curriculum and the IB Middle Years and Diploma Programmes —serve our students well and enable them to become the kind of inquiring, ethical, and risk-taking adults the world will need in the 21st century. Our diversity of perspectives, values, ideas, and beliefs make ISH a special place to teach and learn. With a growing student population of almost 780, and a neighborhood campus bordering the city’s Botanical Garden, ISH is an integral part of the local landscape. On a typical day, visitors might observe volunteer parents welcoming new families. Drop by on a Friday evening and you will see high school students serving refreshments at a play or musical. On a Saturday morning, visitors will hear the sound of a piano lesson or cheering from the gym or soccer field as our Falcons teams compete. In November, visitors from the local neighborhood share the excitement of our annual International Day. Before the Christmas holiday, a group of 2nd-grade children can be found singing seasonal carols in the entrance area. Our calendar is filled with events, clubs, and activities aimed at connecting our community and with the wider world beyond our borders. Our mission is to provide students with an international education that seeks to develop their full potential and to foster understanding, respect for others, freedom of thought and expression, enjoyment of learning, and personal responsibility. At ISH, our programs, our policies, and our purpose are united in the shared values that put our students at the center of everything we do. As builders of an internationally-minded community, our faculty and staff strive to inspire and motivate every student while ensuring high academic challenge, the innovative use of technology, and a committed focus on the social, moral, and emotional well-being of every child in our care. We forge strong partnerships with parents to create a learning environment in which students respect and embrace an ever-growing, interconnected global society and recognize the value of service to others. Recognizing our responsibility to prepare our students for global citizenship, as well as to teach them all of the very basic human values, we base our programs and policies on fulfilling every student’s needs.
