American School of The Hague

Our mission speaks for itself: “American School of The Hague nurtures and inspires character, commitment, creativity, and learning.” These are not just platitudes; they represent the filter through which all of us connected with the school, from the Trustees on down, process every decision we make.

Our student body is approximately 30% US and 10% Dutch, with the remaining 60% coming from over 60 other nationalities, mirroring the diversity of cultures that make The Hague such a rich environment. Our students come mainly from the international business and diplomatic community, but our many Dutch families add a host country flavor to our multicultural mix.

Our School is comprised of 3 divisions – Elementary School (from Preschool through Grade 4), Middle School (Grades 5-8), and High School (Grades 9-12).

Our instructional approach focuses on the close but respectful student-teacher relationships that characterize American education. Our curriculum includes Advanced Placement courses and the International Baccalaureate Diploma, and is broad enough to suit the needs of our diverse population. ASH believes in service to the community, and we recognize that The Hague’s image as the “World’s City of Justice” is a standard ASH should rightly emulate.
