Ready for the world
Welcome to our community of global citizens
We’ve welcomed children from over 100 nationalities into our school. Here, students support each other and learn together how to live by our key values: being authentic, balanced and courageous. All these different voices and ideas bring energy to our community every day. Your child will feel at home in no time.
So much to achieve, even more to celebrate
At ISH, we support achievement in many forms: academic, social, and personal. It builds confidence and makes students want more. Here, students learn that it starts with choices that matter.
Magic happens in mind-blowing projects
Just like in real life, we combine subjects. In our STEAM programme hands-on projects spark creativity, innovation and problem-solving skills. A new way to shape the future.
We care, because everybody counts
At ISH students will feel a true sense of belonging through our community, thanks to our culture of compassion and inclusion. From Grade 1 to Grade 12, we look out for each other.
Beyond the classroom. Into the world.
Life is larger than school. That’s why we step outside the classroom to broaden horizons, explore the world around us, and connect with our local community. It’s the experience that makes learning stick.
Hilversum, in the heart of the Netherlands
Our school is set in green, lively Hilversum, only 20 minutes from Amsterdam or Utrecht. A perfect place to live, learn and connect within a welcoming expat community.
Well-being at ISH: because life’s full of surprises
Life at school is about much more than lessons and grades. It is about friendships, new experiences and discovering who you are. That is why wellbeing at ISH starts with feeling seen and supported. From there, students learn how to navigate challenges, celebrate successes and grow with confidence. Every step of the way, our experienced team is there to guide them with care and professional support.
