The British School in the Netherlands (BSN) is an IB-classified group of private schools situated in The Hague area. Four campuses together form one school: Junior School Leidschenveen, Junior School Vlaskamp, Senior School Voorschoten, and Senior School Leidschenveen. Over 2100 students from nearly 90 nationalities are enrolled.
The school is open to students from 3 to 18 years of age and also offers daycare for 0–3s and after-school care on its Junior School Leidschenveen campus through Zein International Childcare.
The schools all follow the English curriculum, which means that students take GCSEs in Years 10 and 11 (age 14 to 16) and entering the Sixth Form in Years 12 and 13 (age 16 to 18). From here, students may choose to take examinations in either English A-Levels or the IB Diploma Programme.
The school was founded in 1931 in The Hague by Gwen Brunton-Jones and given the name of "The English School". It has since become Europe's largest international school, with students from nearly 90 nationalities.
