Thank you for considering International Waldorf School The Hague.
The Hague Netherlands
International Waldorf School, The HagueDescription
A truly international curriculum Our school integrates Waldorf and IPC curricula, allowing children to move within the international school system throughout the rest of the world. Because the two approaches have so much in common, they can easily be integrated into one curriculum. Start small, stay a small-scale school Our school, founded in 2018 has been growing every year with the addition of one to two grade levels per year. In 2022 we expect to have grown to a complete primary school with two Kindergartens and Classes 1-6. Even throughout our growth, the school has and will remain small, with class sizes of 15 children maximum. Due to our small groups we are able to provide sufficient time, space and attention for everyone. As the first international Waldorf School in the Netherlands we are a new phenomenon. Being the first, our community has a certain degree of pioneering spirit and a sense of adventure. The only way to build this new school is by doing it as a community.

Languages Taught
We live in the Netherlands! What better way to learn a “foreign language” than to learn the language of the surrounding region. We would be remised if we did not take the opportunity to learn the language and culture of the region. On occasion, we will partner up with de Vrije school to enjoy some Waldorf traditional celebrations in The Netherlands. Sharing a common language will help unite the two schools. During their Dutch experience lessons, children will experience some of the richness of the Dutch traditions and culture through traditional folk songs, games and stories.
