International education in the Netherlands is considerably more expensive than ordinary education and is largely paid for by the parents. Last year, nearly 12,500 pupils attended a primary or secondary international school. The parental contribution in 2008 for primary education was 12,00 euro on average for primary school and € 14,500 for secondary school. The figures are from the Central Bureau for Statistics (CBS). There are international schools in The Hague and Wassenaar.
