The International School Wassenaar (ISW) is a bilingual school in Wassenaar, offering an international curriculum for students aged 3 to 18. The school is accredited by the Council of International Schools and the Dutch Ministry of Education. It offers a rigorous academic program, with a focus on developing critical thinking skills, problem solving, and creativity. The school also offers a wide range of extracurricular activities, including sports, music, and art," remarked one expat living in Wassenaar with children attending .

"The school is a good fit for families that prioritize a quick integration into the community for their children and families. The staff is well trained in ensuring kids' needs are identified and recognized early for a successful transition. ASH is trying to find a balance between its American education mission and its large number of northern European families that prefer a gentler educational approach in early education years - thus, families coming from rigorous suburban public or private schools may find the curriculum less challenging at the elementary and middle school levels. The majority of teachers are very strong and have extensive experience in international schools. However, the school has a difficult time parting with less effective teachers. For families that prioritize the education of the student as a whole individual and a successful transition to a new country, this is a welcoming environment. For those that prioritize strong educational quality above all else, it is not," said one expat in Wassenaar with children at American School of the Hague.
