It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
The HSV does not require pupil's to wear a school uniform.
The HSV does not have a school canteen; students provide a healthy lunch or may go home for lunch on request. Lunchtime supervisors supervise lunches in the classroom and outside, with a contribution collected at the start of the school year for these services. HSV works with different after‑school care organisations for before and after school care.
The HSV is subsidised by the Dutch Ministry of Education. The HSV is governed by the Stichting Haagsche Schoolvereeniging (HSV), with a Supervisory Board and a Joint Participation Council (GMR); the Friends of HSV Foundation (2HSV) supports fundraising and projects.
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.
