The School for Young Talent is always looking for new host families
Introduction
The School for Young Talent is linked to the University of the Arts The Hague and is a school for young, artistic talent with the passion and ambition to make dance, music or visual arts their profession later in life. From group 7 onwards, they can combine school with a preliminary phase art education. The bar is set high, because only those who pass the entrance exam are admitted to the School for Young Talent.
Our school has received the ‘excellent school’ designation from the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture, and Science (OCW), thanks to the dedication of our teaching team to develop artistic talent while ensuring students achieve their diplomas.
Why Host Families?
Students come from all over the Netherlands and beyond. For some, the travel distance is too great and can be a burden or deal breaker. In these cases, a host family near the Royal Conservatoire is a suitable solution.
The School for Young Talent is seeking host families for the upcoming academic year to support our young talents. Sophie van der Steen, our contact person, helps connect supply and demand. While we do not have a fixed list of host families, we provide support in establishing connections and offer guidelines and examples to assist parents and host families.
How Does It Work?
- Selection: Sophie van der Steen connects parents and host families, taking into account preferences, age, and travel distance.
- Arrangements: Parents and host families decide on the terms of their cooperation.
- Process Support: If the collaboration ends, the school can assist in finding a new host family.
Hosts and parents make the final decision and take full responsibility working together. The school is not a formal or legal party between the two, and only takes on a supporting role.
