Facilities are adequate for a small school. The range of extra- curricular activities on offer could be better.
The curriculum offered is IPC, IPC Middle Years and IB Diploma. The school continues to think of itself as an American school even though it offers an International curriculum and most of the American families have left due to the nearby American military base closing. I didn't really understand this until after my children joined the school. Not aware of any support from the school to help my children transition.
There may be social activities available but the parents tend to stay in groups within their own nationalities - this is very obvious at pick up at the end of the day.
There are other international schools in the area - I would now be prepared to travel to The Hague. There are some excellent teachers but as with all schools some are really quite poor and this is more of a problem in a small school. The school also feels as though it's struggling financially, it may not be but that's what it feels like.

If there is room at The American School of The Hague (ASH), I highly recommend that you do move your children. My children went to ASH Middle school thru High school. It is a fabulous school with fabulous teachers. It is a better experience for the kids if you live in Wassenaar, but still would be worth the commute. Good Luck!
