British School

The new campus for the International School British School in Leidschenveen, near The Hague, is taking the form of an easily accessible cultural enclave. It combines a primary school, daycare, sports facility and language centre. On the outside, the rectangular campus aligns itself to the frameworks provided by the polder landscape. It's like a small island surrounded by its own roads which streamline the daily comings and goings of students. On the inside, the school has created its own culture and the students can learn in safety and in direct contact with nature and one another. The British School in the Netherlands is responding to the growing demand for international high-quality education based on the traditional standards and values of the British education system. Good behaviour and respect for others and the world provide the context for an educational programme focused on personal development. It is a refined international enclave within the Netherlands, its host country.
