Welcome.
The DISDH Primary School:
“A place to discover and develop”
The Primary School of the German International School The Hague (DISDH) is proud to bear the seal of excellence “Exzellente Deutsche Auslandsschule.” For more than 150 years, we have been offering top-quality education. Our language of instruction is German. Through our expanded language learning program including Dutch and English, we provide children with additional foreign languages from an early age. This allows children to gain a unique international perspective alongside the content of the German curriculum.
HOLISTIC DEVELOPMENT:
In a personal atmosphere, we aim for joy in living and learning. This is experienced daily by our primary school students. We highly value peer-to-peer learning and collective growth. For us, education means the holistic development of personal, social, academic, and methodological competencies. Our primary school is a place where children not only feel comfortable but also can unfold their potential. We encourage every child to develop step by step into a confident, independent individual while maintaining their curious outlook on the world.
EXPERIENCED AND HIGHLY QUALIFIED EDUCATORS:
Our teachers, all from German-speaking regions and highly qualified, provide personalized care for each class. They are reliable points of contact for students as well as for you as parents.
THE GERMAN CURRICULUM PRIORITIZES EXCELLENCE AND QUALITY IN EDUCATION:
Our educational offerings align with the current educational plan of the state of Baden-Württemberg. Additionally, we are a member of the Association of German International Schools.
LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY AND MORE IS INTEGRATED EARLY INTO THE EDUCATIONAL OFFERING:
As a German school with an international focus, linguistic diversity is a natural and important part of our offering from the outset. Extracurricular activities in experiential education, nature excursions, readings, theater and museum visits, as well as shared projects with surrounding schools complement this.
PERSPECTIVES ON EXPANDING OUR OFFERINGS:
The primary school offers space for living together and learning together in the morning. We plan to expand our offerings starting from the school year 24/25 into the afternoon.
We value comprehensive support and care for our students to best meet their individual needs.
