What most I loved about Early Years was the approach the school has toward early childhood education, learning through play and the wonderful materials that they have.
I liked the way the school combined different types of education methods like Montessori and Emilia Reggio. Children are curious and keen to learn, think, imagine, and develop ideas and fantasies. They make connections between their ideas, form theories and make proposals.
They shape their own development. But, however great their capacities are and how significant their ideas and proposals, they need adults who will engage themselves in the world of young children, who will look and listen, teachers who connect with the children, providing them with the support, space, materials and situation they need. And when seeing the Early Years team I just got the feeling they are all of the above

At ISH, students are encouraged to design a program based on their interests.  If you are passionate about engineering, you can join the Silverback Engineering Team who strive to build a fuel-efficient car or if you love football as I do, you can join the football team and compete against other schools. The school caters to everyone, so there is always something that you can do.

Coming to ISH re-ignited my passion for teaching and education. Staff and students are empowered to innovate in order to promote learning and have a positive impact on the community. For me the opportunity to create a self-directed learning programme - Pathfinder - has been so exciting. Even more importantly, ISH is a place where I feel completely comfortable being myself: it’s a second home!

Since 2004, the International School of The Hague has become my extended family here in Holland. As a Secondary Office Manager, I work with a team that is the hub of the school. It is the place where work is done silently in the background to make things happen, and I have enjoyed every minute of it.

In life, all good things must come to an end, including my time here at ISH. My 14-year journey went by so quickly, and I can say without a doubt that I enjoyed each and every minute of it. Studying with people from all over the world is not an opportunity that everyone gets, and I feel very lucky to have experienced that at ISH. I feel prepared to take on the world, thanks to the support that I recieved from my teachers.
