Mon. May 6, 2024, 08:45 – 11:00, Transitions in Living Abroad: “Leaving & Staying” – Living abroad brings inevitable transitions as we approach the end of the school year. Whether your family is staying or going, how can you navigate the changes for your family, children, and yourself? Join us to share our experiences, emotions, and support as we move through the transition of farewells in our international life. We will explore tools and strategies to empower you and your family to face this transition with calm and direction. RSVP now.
Mon. May 13, 2024, 11:30 – 14:15, The Hague Walking Food Tour – Discover different food locations in the center of Den Haag. During this food tour, you will explore local venues, often small businesses, and be introduced to the faces and stories behind those places. The bites are typically Dutch, local products from The Hague, or simply great food served in a venue with a very special story. Tickets are €65, and space is limited. RSVP now.
Wed. May 15, 2024, 08:45 – 09:45, PTO Meeting – Join us for our final PTO meeting of this school year. Find out how you can help next year. Learn about events and activities already in the works, and bring your ideas for new things. RSVP now.

The PTO is organizing a special week dedicated to celebrating the hard work and dedication of our amazing teachers and staff.

Wed. May 8: Send Your Gratitude – In addition to these events, we encourage everyone to take a moment to express their appreciation in their own special way. Whether writing a heartfelt card, sending an email, creating a video, or simply saying a warm "thank you" in person, let's ensure our teachers and staff know how valued they are. You can also stop by the ECC or Main Campus reception bulletin board and add handwritten notes.
