IPS Hilversum is an International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) school for children aged 4 to 12, taught in English with Dutch as the host country language. The school operates on two campuses, Rembrandt for Early Years to Grade 4 and Mondrian for Grades 5 to 8, housed in historic-listed buildings. The PYP uses an inquiry‑based, transdisciplinary approach, with ongoing assessment and regular conferences to review progress. Students develop ICT skills with Chromebooks and iPads, and every classroom has an interactive whiteboard. Home languages are encouraged and Dutch language learning is integrated through play in the younger years and formal study later. The school offers after‑school care, two playgrounds, libraries at both campuses, and a large outdoor inquiry garden that supports learning. A strong cultural program includes weekly music lessons, language clubs, and active student leadership through a School Council and Student Council. The school fosters community involvement and belonging.
