The Hague PREP school - a sound investment
Is The Hague PREP school right for me?
I know that I will learn English more effectively when I have to use it to communicate with people who do not speak my own language.
I like learning about different cultures and am respectful of other people’s values.
I know my English is limited but I love a challenge and am willing to adopt new learning strategies.
I like to take responsibility for my own learning and want to invest more time and energy than the teacher asks from me.
I am shy And prefer to associate with people from my own country and speak my own language.
I hold my nation’s culture to be superior to other cultures.
I am convinced traditional teaching with a teacher telling me exactly what to do is the best way to learn new skills.
I believe the best way to obtain a high exam score is to train exam techniques.
I believe the best way to learn English is to translate from my own language.
I consider using electronic learning aids such as iPads a waste of money and time and I prefer books.
I find working in international teams counterproductive. NO PREP IS NOT RIGHT FOR ME

Personal freedomStudying in the Hague means freedom. You are free to decide how to live your personal life, such as what to eat, what to do in your spare time. You are encouraged to make friends with any of the around 1,500 international students or any of the 23,000 English speaking Dutch students. But freedom comes with responsibility. Passing the PREP course is not your parents’ nor your teachers’ but YOUR responsibility. That is formalised in the learning contract you will need to sign before undertaking the course.However, if you skip classes or fail the prep tests the Dutch government will revoke your residence permit and you will have to leave the country!
