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. Enquire. This is the perfect first step. Ask a question or request personalised information to learn more about the programmes. There is no obligation, and the admissions team is ready to help. The BSN is non-selective and has places available in all year groups across the four campuses.
2. Visit. See learning in action with a personal tour. Schedule a visit with the Admissions team by telephone or email. For families who are unable to visit yet, an online call can be scheduled at a convenient time. Choosing the right school for a child is a personal decision, and staff are available to provide support at every step.
3. Apply. When ready to join, applicants are guided through a clear and straightforward application process. Applications are accepted throughout the year. For each application, there is a non-refundable fee of €250 (families with a child already at BSN do not need to pay). If an applicant is approved and a place is declined, the fee is retained; if a place cannot be offered, the fee is refunded.
Welcome to Senior School Voorschoten (SSV), an international campus within The British School in The Netherlands. Located in a suburban area, SSV educates students aged 11 to 18 in English. Students follow the British National Curriculum up to GCSEs. In the Sixth Form, they choose between four distinct pathways: A Levels, BTEC qualifications, the IB Diploma, or the IB Career-related Programme. The campus features dedicated subject spaces, an atrium, and a student-led Eco-Garden that integrates environmental awareness into daily life. SSV is particularly known for its extensive co-curricular options, including a long-running Model United Nations (MUN) society where students debate global issues across Europe. Additionally, students participate in the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award, completing community service and independent expeditions. Through targeted Mother Tongue Enrichment and Dutch language exams (CNaVT), SSV ensures students connect deeply with the local culture while preparing for global university destinations.
