Admissions


Conditions

European Schools were founded to meet the educational needs of the children of European Civil Servants. For the European School The Hague, these are the children of employees of Eurojust, Europol, EPO, ESA-ESTEC, GSA, EMA and the European Commission. These children have a reserved place in our school and are referred to as Category I pupils.  For children of employees of other European Agencies/Institutions, Admissions will be able to provide information about whether your child(ren) also qualifies as a Category I applicant. 

All other students are referred to as Category III students, and can be placed depending on availability and whether the admission criteria below is met. This criteria is based on the Dutch Regulations for International Education (IGBO-Wet):
