Overview
ASH was founded in 1953. Its purpose was to provide an American style education to children of international cooperation and government employees.[2] The board of trustees are elected by the parents and are responsible for the governance of ASH. The school is accredited by NEASC - New England Association of Schools and Colleges.[2] The school has three divisions: an elementary school, middle school and high school.[2] In 1989, a new campus was built, next to the Rijksstraatweg in Wassenaar which was opened by then-Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands and First Lady Barbara Bush.[3]
