The Hague School is an independent secondary school dedicated to the development of character and academic achievement through a rigorous college preparatory curriculum grounded in collaborative discourse. By design, we are a small school with a focused mission, personalized instruction, and unique student opportunities, with an engaged, diverse student body.
Under the guidance of master teachers, students engage in collaborative discourse through threshold concepts to create powerful and productive habits of analytical and critical thinking designed to carry them through their undergraduate education and beyond.
Mission
The Hague School’s mission is to empower and prepare secondary students through collaborative dialogue, student-centered learning, and a globally focused curriculum based on the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. We strive to instill a lifelong love of learning, compassion for humanity, and leadership skills for a global society.
Vision
The Hague School offers student-centered learning through collaborative discussion around its conference tables to develop students’ critical thinking, social, and communicative skills in preparation for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme to be offered during the 11th and 12th grades. The Hague Approach brings contemporary technology to focused conference table discourse in all grades.
At The Hague School, there are no rows of desks. Students prepare with a master instructor and come to the table ready to actively participate in facilitated peer-to-peer discussion. This unique dynamic fosters engagement, creativity, and critical thinking. The Hague School faculty includes diverse, experienced educators who balance research-based practice and innovative approaches to teaching and learning with our trademarked conference method approach to instruction. Cross-curricular focus areas offer project-centered and experiential coursework in conjunction with local professionals and businesses, giving students real world experience.
With their instructors as supportive guides, students of all backgrounds engage in educational experiences rich in meaning allowing them to cultivate a sense of self and empowering them to find their niche in a global society.

In 2014, Hamilton Perkins founded Hamilton Perkins Collection, an independent brand, designing and producing unique and award winning bags and accessories from recycled materials.
Hamilton Perkins Collection exists to create timeless limited edition bags made from recycled plastic water bottles, pineapple leaf fiber, and billboard vinyl. The result is that no two bags are ever the same.
Our first design, the Earth Bag Premium, was created so that our customers would not only carry a bag that was stylish but carry a bag they could be proud of. We surveyed more than 1,000 consumers to obtain their thoughts and feedback for each component of the Earth Bag Premium, which soon became one of our most popular designs.
Perkins was the winner of the Virginia Velocity Tour hosted by the Governor of Virginia, and the recipient of a HUD Community Development Block Grant. The non-profit B Lab honored Hamilton Perkins Collection as a "Best for the World Overall" B Corporation in 2017.
Hamilton Perkins Collection has been featured in Forbes, Fast Company, Money Magazine, and The Washington Post.
The brand is currently offered in nearly 100 leading department stores and specialty stores in the United States, Canada, and Europe.
