Welcome to APE !
The APE, the school’s Parents' Association, represents the parents of the French Lycée Vincent van Gogh in The Hague.
We engage in an ongoing dialogue with the school and the parents and advocate for the common interests of families and children.
We build our community through our communication and events, in a spirit of openness and solidarity.
Our news
A school year with our Association APE
Throughout the year, we actively participate in school life, in the school councils and during preparatory meetings with the management. We also organise activities and events for the children, teachers, and parents.
The school year is divided into five terms separated by school holidays, the dates of which are listed in the school calendar on the Lycée's website..
March-April
In April, APE participates in the Olympics organised by the school for primary students by providing a snack.
APE organises mock interviews for Première students with the help of parent volunteers.
May-June
The third and final school councils are held.
APE organises the Fête de l'Ecole for primary school children at the end of June, with many parent volunteers.
For the secondary school, APE supports student projects.
All year long
APE listens to parents on collective issues and acts as their intermediary with the school.
Thanks to the Fédération des établissements d’enseignement français à l’étranger (FAPEE), of which APE is a member, webinars are offered to parents related to specific questions concerning our children at different stages of their development.
