The British School in the Netherlands (BSN) is an IB-classified group of independent schools situated in The Hague area. There are four schools in total: BSN Senior School, BSN Junior School Leidschenveen, BSN Junior School Vlaskamp and BSN Junior School Diamanthorst with students from over 80 nationalities enrolled.
The school is open to students from 3 to 18 years of age, and also offers day care for 0-3s and after school care on its Junior School Leidschenveen campus.
The schools all follow the English curriculum, which means that students take GCSEs in Years 10 and 11 (age 15 and 16), entering the Sixth Form in Years 12 and 13 (age 17 and 18) where students may choose to take examinations in either British A-Levels or the IB Diploma Programme.
The School was founded in The Hague in 1931 by Gwen Brunton-Jones, and was called The English School - it has continued to grow and has become Europe's largest international school with students from over 80 nationalities represented.
The British School in the Netherlands is currently arranged across 4 sites, based in and around The Hague. The three junior schools accommodate children from 3 to 11, while the Senior School is for children from 11 to 18.
Junior School Diamanthorst opened in September 2003, following a complete refurbishment. Further work was carried out in 2007 to expand the building, and the school now accommodates around 400 children aged 3 to 11. The site boasts excellent resources including a new dance studio. It is situated in the quiet residential Mariahoeve area of The Hague. The current Head is Angela Parry-Davies.
Junior School Leidschenveen is a brand-new campus in the Leidschenveen area of The Hague. This school provides 470 places for children aged 3 to 11 years. It was opened in 2010, just before the World Cup, by Princess Maxima. The campus includes dedicated facilities for Out of School Care, a Day Care Centre for 0- to 3-year-olds and a Sports and Community Centre. The current Head is Karren van Zoest.
Junior School Vlaskamp provides accommodation for approximately 500 children aged 3 to 11. This award-winning building was opened in 1997 and provides a range of excellently brilliant resources, including notably extensive outside play and environmental areas. The current Head is Sue Aspinall.
