English language development is emphasised as students progress through school. Dutch is a Modern Foreign Language offered and compulsory in Years 7–9, with a CNaVT examination available in Year 9 and Dutch GCSE/IB options in later years. In Years 7–9, students study French, Spanish, Dutch and German, with Year 8 offering two languages; Italian is available through a Language Enrichment Programme and there is a Personal Languages Programme offering Dutch, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish. The Senior School runs a Mother Tongue Enrichment Programme for personal language speakers and provides IB/AS/A2-level study in several languages.
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.
