Welcome in APE !
Within the Parents' Association (APE), we represent the parents of the French Lycée Vincent Van Gogh in The Hague.
In ongoing dialogue with the institution and the parents, we advocate for the common interest of families and children.
We engage our community through our communications and events, in a spirit of friendliness and solidarity.
