Beyond core curriculum, it operates four talent groups (Muziektheater, Digital Science, Atelier, Sport), three language-certification programs (Cambridge PET/FCE/CAE, Goethe, DELF Scolaire), and special interest programs including a debating team, book club (Leeskring), and a juniormentor peer-support system. The Apollo Academie, an enriched VWO program with cross-curricular projects on themes like peace & justice, technology & robotics, and life on Mars, was launched in the 2025-2026 school year.

Lyceum Ypenburg operates as a non-commercial, government-funded institution governed by Stichting VO Haaglanden (SVOH), which oversees ten schools in the region. Core revenue is derived from Dutch Ministry of OCW (Rijksoverheid) public funding allocated per student, supplemented by voluntary ouderbijdragen from parents for extracurricular activities, trips, and special programs, plus pass-through device rental via Easy4u. Enrollment is managed through the BOVO Haaglanden consortium's Onderwijs Transparant digital registration system, drawing group-8 feeder students from Den Haag, Leidschendam-Voorburg, Rijswijk, Delft, Pijnacker-Nootdorp, and Zoetermeer. The school holds Cambridge Preparation Centre certification and a Silver School Canteen Scale (Zilveren Schoolkantine Schaal) from the Dutch Nutrition Center, and reports 2026 exam pass rates of 91% (VWO), 91% (HAVO), and 93% (MAVO).
