Kronenburgh anno 2010
People often say: “Back in the day, they actually learned something at school. Now, they can’t even hold a hammer,” or “The business world has a great need for well-trained people,” and “In The Netherlands, without the right qualifications, you get nowhere.”
Kronenburgh was founded in 2010 to provide a private vocational education option within the region The Hague. The owners have a background in education and business administration, with over 30 years of experience in training and developing students as well as employees from various families, companies and organizations. We take great pleasure in watching students grow during their studies. Upon qualifying as skilled professionals, these students receive our diploma—a source of great pride for us.
We started with full-time vocational education (MBO) for students aged 16 to 22, focusing on the ‘traditional’ MEAO study tracks—specifically, business and economics. The Kronenburgh MEAO College got off to a flying start. Part-time education for adults was soon added to the mix, marking the launch of the Kronenburgh Business College.
The Netherlands is a trading nation par excellence. Consequently, a higher education program in International Business Management & Entrepreneurship is a logical next step. At Kronenburgh, we opted for an international approach—delivering the curriculum in English and following the internationally recognized British higher education system. This is also an attractive option for expat students living in The Hague. Here, too, students have the choice between full-time and part-time study. Graduates of the Kronenburgh International Business School often progress to universities such as Brighton and Essex in the UK to earn their Bachelor of Science (BSc) or Bachelor of Arts (BA) degrees, fully preparing them to go on and obtain an MBA (Master of Business Administration). It is wonderful to see how our alumni are now running their own businesses, securing the future of family firms, and advancing to executive positions in the corporate world.

Benefits of a private school
Professionals from Business Practice
Our lecturers work in practice in the field they teach. Therefore, they can best tell about their professional practice. Based on their own experience and love for the profession the lecturers will share best practices with you. They see you as a new colleague who will be trained to become the professional the business world is waiting for. So, learning becomes much more interesting supporting the student ambition.
Best Students
Students at Kronenburgh are ambitious; they opt for an accelerated track and bilingual of fully English education, and are willing to go the extra mile to achieve their future goals. Our students often come from entrepreneurial families or have parents who work in the corporate sector. Because private education involves a financial investment, a form of ‘natural’ pre-selection occurs. Moreover, this investment encourages students to put in extra effort to reach their objectives. Admissions are also based on a selection process that evaluates aptitude and ambition.
Small-scale, Fast track, Think – Act – Grow
– Small-scale: The number of students per group is on avarage 15. In this way lecturers and students can collaborate intensively during the lecture day and achieve good learning results. Thanks to the small-scale structure of our education, we can monitor that all students develop well, and students feel seen. Lecturers and students know each other. There is a social binding.
– Fast Track: We provide fast-track programs. This can be done by offering more teaching hours, giving more guidance, and paying attention to individual students.
– Think-Act-Grow: Think-Act-Grow is our mission. Structured learning is what students get. From Classroom teaching and working colleges in the morning to the practicum in the afternoon. Learning by doing in order to become the professional the business world is waiting for.
