ISH offers English-language instruction with English as an Additional Language (EAL) support. Two EAL programmes are offered: the Academic Language Programme (ALP) for Years 7–9 and the Individual Learning Programme (ILP) for Years 10–13. Home languages are valued; on Wednesday afternoons Years 7–11 can join home-language tutor groups, and additional home-language tutoring is available. In the IB Diploma Programme, students can continue studying their home language; SSST Language A: Literature is available as a school-supported option, with additional native-language options such as Chinese.
The International School of The Hague (ISH) provides education for students aged 4 to 18 on a unified campus in the Kijkduin dunes. The Primary School follows the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), incorporating Reggio Emilia and Montessori methods in the Early Years. The Secondary School delivers the International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years, Diploma, and Career-related Programmes. ISH features specific facilities such as an indoor Early Years gym, multiple astroturf fields, and dedicated spaces for primary and secondary students. A defining feature of ISH is its extensive experiential learning and service programming. The school hosts MUNISH, the second-largest school-based Model United Nations conference in Europe, where students engage in global policy debates. Additionally, the Global Issues Network (GIN) and translanguaging initiatives allow students to actively apply their learning. Through these concrete opportunities—ranging from the Chickeneers club to the International Award—students develop practical skills and contribute directly to their communities.
