placement in secondary

 

Thank you for your interest in The International School of The Hague.

Students qualify for places if they are:

children from other countries who are part of the mobile international community

children from Dutch families who have been internationally mobile

and need to be educated in an international school to ensure continuity of education.

Please see further details on our Admissions Policy and its application (including admissions prioritisation of applications and waiting list details) under the section entitled "Admissions Application "

We have placement tests for all students applying for a place in Year 8 and above. These are internal tests designed to ensure that students are placed in classes suitable to their knowledge and ability, and also, in the case of Years 12 and 13, that they are capable of completing the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme at the level chosen.

For Years 8 – 11 the placement tests are for English and Mathematics, as well as language tests in French, German, or Spanish for basic to native proficiency levels.

For Year 12, the first IB year, placement tests include languages, Mathematics and Science.

Students who are not yet in the Netherlands can usually sit the placement tests in their current school, who will administer the test and forward them to us by arrangement.

ISH administers its own admission tests in English and Mathematics for children entering Years 8, 9, 10 and 11, and language placement tests for students with basic to native proficiency in French, German or Spanish.

For Year 12, our first IB Year, the testing sessions include Languages, Mathematics and Science.

Our goal at every level is to make applicants as comfortable as possible, so that they will do their best work.

 

International Applicants

Applicants to Year 8 and above mayl have their ISH Admissions Tests sent directly to their  current school to administer. In such instances the current school will fax and mail the tests back to the Admissions Office.
