Whether you are new to The Hague or looking for a new school within the city, we are here to personally guide your family every step of the way to DISDH.
Admissions Throughout the Year
Students can also join us during the school year.
A SMOOTH TRANSITION BETWEEN SCHOOLS
Our German curriculum makes it easier for children to transfer from schools in Germany to DISDH and, if needed, return to the German school system later on.
💬
Does my child need to speak German already?
Not necessarily. Depending on their age and year group, we also welcome children without prior knowledge of German. During the admission process, we work together with you to determine what language support your child needs for a good start.

From what age can my child attend kindergarten?
We accept children from the age of 2 years.
Does my child need to speak German?
The language of instruction at our school is German. To support your child in the best possible way, their German level may be assessed. Depending on age, we also accept children without prior knowledge of German.
Does my child need extra support / tutoring, and is this offered?
At DISDH we individually assess whether your child needs additional support and in which areas. In consultation with the parents, we create a personalized support program tailored to the child’s level of knowledge and individual talents. Support may be necessary, for example, if a new student needs to catch up in certain subjects to reach the class level.
We also offer special German lessons for non-native speakers.
Is there a school bus?
No, there is no separate school bus.
Do parents need to buy school books?
Yes. As a service, the school cooperates with a bookstore in Germany. Books can be ordered through the school and delivered directly to DISDH. They will be ready for your child on the first day of school.
Which documents are required for enrollment?
Please submit the following:
- completed application form signed by both parents / guardians
- copies of the latest school reports
- copy of the birth certificate
- copy of ID / passport
