Residential Trips

Throughout their journey at European School The Hague, students take part in Residential Trips, requiring some days and overnight stays away from home.

Residential Trips are an important part of the European Schools curriculum as they provide experiences that complement what students learn in lessons. This is particularly important for students who are learning new languages, as immersion in language and culture provides the opportunity to put what has been learnt into practice. Many of the experiences that students have on Residential Trips extend beyond the scope of what is taught in classroom settings, making the trips very valuable learning experiences and a highlight of the school year for the students.

Every school year in October, we will send out a booklet of all the Residential trips planned for the school year (and will be published in the Community Portal). A brief list of the trips can also be found in the Secondary School Guide. Teachers responsible for each Residential Trip will also organise information evenings for students and parents in anticipation of the trip.
