Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Check Admission Requirements
Children aged 4 to 11 are eligible to apply if they meet specific criteria, such as being non-Dutch nationals with parents working temporarily in the Netherlands. Families must provide employer documentation proving their temporary residence status to qualify. Admission is always subject to seat availability across the four locations.
2. Make First Contact
Parents with questions can submit an optional Registration of Interest form to the admissions team. If you already have all the necessary information, you can skip this step and proceed directly to the formal application.
3. Submit the Admission Application
Apply through the school's online portal by uploading the required documents, which include your child's passport, recent school reports, and written employer confirmation of international mobility. The admissions team will review your file once all documents are submitted, and no student interview is required.
4. Pay the Application Processing Fee
A non-refundable, one-time fee of €150 per child is required before the school will process your application. This payment covers administrative costs and does not guarantee a placement or count toward annual tuition fees.
5. Receive Confirmation
The Admissions Office will acknowledge your application on the portal and officially place your child on the waiting list once all checklist items are complete. Parents can log into the Admissions Portal at any time to track their application status.
After all required items are submitted, the child will be wait listed. You can track the status of your application through the Admissions Portal.
Situated in the Benoordenhout area of The Hague, the HSV International Primary School's VNS location is housed in an authentic 1920s building that retains many of its original art-deco features. The school teaches a structured program based on the UK National Curriculum for Literacy and Mathematics, combined with the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), ensuring subjects like science, geography, and art are taught through engaging, interdisciplinary units. A distinguishing feature of the VNS location is its size; it is the largest of HSV’s international branches, accommodating up to 280 pupils in classes capped at 20 students to allow for personalized, inquiry-based learning. In September 2025, the campus expanded its offerings by launching a Dutch Bilingual class, further integrating international students with the host country's culture. The VNS location provides a supportive, inclusive setting focused on developing global citizenship.
