"There is a mismatch in the data provided — the school name given is "International School Eindhoven" but the city is listed as The Hague, and the Wikipedia background describes the International School of The Hague."

Rather than blend these into a potentially inaccurate profile, the profile below is written for the International School of The Hague, as the location, Wikipedia source, and school details all point clearly to that institution. Please verify the intended school before publishing. --- The International School of The Hague, commonly known as ISH, is one of the Netherlands' most established and prominent international schools, offering a rigorous English-language education to primary and secondary students in the heart of one of Europe's most internationally connected cities. As a non-profit, state-subsidised private institution, ISH combines the accessibility and accountability of public education with the globally oriented curriculum and community that international families seek when relocating abroad. Founded in 1983, ISH has built more than four decades of experience serving the diverse expatriate and international community that The Hague naturally attracts, given the city's concentration of embassies, multinational organisations, and international legal institutions. The school originally operated from a site on Theo Mann-Bouwmeesterlaan in the Duinzigt neighbourhood before relocating in 2007 to its current campus on Wijndaelerweg in Loosduinen, situated in the vicinity of the coastal area of Kijkduin. The move provided the school with a purpose-built environment better suited to its growing community. ISH delivers the International Baccalaureate curriculum across both its secondary programmes, offering the IB Middle Years Programme for younger secondary students and the IB Diploma Programme for those in the final years of their schooling. These globally recognised qualifications are well regarded by universities worldwide and provide students with a structured yet intellectually expansive education that emphasises critical thinking, intercultural understanding, and personal development. English is the language of instruction throughout the school, making ISH a natural choice for Anglophone families as well as those who prefer an English-medium education for their children. With approximately 2,000 students as of 2024, ISH is among the largest international schools in the Netherlands, a scale that brings with it a richness of diversity and a breadth of extracurricular and social opportunities that smaller institutions may not be able to match. Families relocating to The Hague from across the globe will find a student body that reflects the city's own cosmopolitan character, creating an environment where children from many different national backgrounds learn and grow together. For expat families and relocating professionals evaluating schools in the greater Hague area, ISH offers a compelling combination of longevity, scale, and academic credibility. Its location near Kijkduin places it within reach of many of the residential neighbourhoods favoured by international families, while its IB programming ensures that students can transition smoothly into international schools elsewhere in the world should the family relocate again. With a well-established reputation, a large and vibrant international community, and a curriculum designed to develop genuinely global citizens, the International School of The Hague stands as one of the leading choices for international education in the Netherlands.
