Schools in the organisation

The organisation comprises eight schools:

The Rijnlands Lyceum Oegstgeest, Rijnlands Lyceum Sassenheim and Rijnlands Lyceum Wassenaar offer three streams of Dutch secondary education: "pre-vocational secondary education" (MAVO), "higher general continued education" (HAVO), and "preparatory scientific education" (VWO). They also offer bilingual education, in English and Dutch. In addition the Rijnlands Lyceum Oegstgeest has an international department offering the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (IB MYP) and International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP).

The International School of The Hague constitutes a primary and secondary school, offering the International Primary Curriculum, the MYP and the IB DP.

The International School Wassenaar, opened on the premises of Rijnlands Lyceum Wassenaar in 2019, offering the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (IB MYP) and from 2023 the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) with the first students completing their studies in 2025. A new building to meet the demand of over 300 international pupils was begun on 24 August 2023 and will be completed and open in time for the school year beginning in September 2024.

The European School The Hague opened in 2012, initially offering primary-level education, with its secondary cycle operating from 2014.
