Applications for Reception class 2018 and beyond
We do already hold a long waiting list for the reception classes of 2018 and 2019. Families can submit an application once their child has turned 1 year of age. However, the International department of the HSV is not part of the Gemeente Den Haag’s school registration process. Subsequently we cannot tell you at the time of application if you will be offered a place if applying for entry in September 2018 and beyond, as we work actively only with the coming school year (and for all year groups).
Please note that we do not admit children on their 4th birthdays as our reception classes are full at the beginning of the school year and parents should be aware of this when submitting an application.
