The International Waldorf School The Hague is a non-profit international primary school offering the Waldorf Steiner curriculum for ages 4–12. Kindergarten (4–6) emphasizes imaginative play, storytelling, songs and crafts and is non-academic. Primary (6–12) teaches mathematics, language arts, science and history through an imaginative, artistic approach; arts are integrated into all subjects. Students learn to paint and draw, work with beeswax and clay, sing and play instruments, and undertake handwork and woodwork, guided by a class teacher for several years. Outdoor education and seasonal celebrations are core, tied to the Four Pillars of Wellbeing: Mindfulness, Community, Self-curiosity and Contentment. The medium of instruction is English; Dutch is taught by a specialist with EAL support as needed. The school sits near Scheveningen beach, in a campus with a gymnasium, daily outdoor play, and Kindergarten kitchens; a garden and wood structures enrich the environment. An active Participation Council supports school development and a multi-year improvement plan guides governance.
