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 Reggio Emilia. 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.

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.

Creating life-long friendships is at the core of ISH. When I first came to the school in Year 6, I was able to find my group of friends within the first day of school. The students and staff are open to have a conversation with you, thus creating a positive atmosphere.
