Typical of the Lorentz Casimir Lyceum is the extra attention paid to STEM. We offer 'excellent' students the opportunity to participate in BrainSport, an extracurricular program with guest lectures, practical assignments, excursions and in-depth assignments.
BrainSport Junior's lessons are partly about what it means to be smart, otherwise the emphasis is on enrichment. Students engage in the Big History learning line; here they explore the history of the universe and humanity from the Big Bang to the present. This includes a variety of subjects that are not part of the standard curriculum such as astronomy, philosophy and psychology. BrainSport Junior classes take place during the school day; selected students therefore miss one or two regular classes each week. Guest classes and field trips are also organized outside of school. To select the right students for this program, all bridge class students with a vwo recommendation are tested by the Center for Giftedness Research. Together with other data, such as possibly an external examination, it is decided which bridge class students will be invited to BrainSport Junior. The program runs from bridge class through grade three and is directed by our giftedness coordinator.
Since 2012, the excellence program BrainSport Senior has existed for above-average interested or talented students in upper secondary school. In a pre-academic learning environment, students are introduced to applied science and special theories. The program contributes to the development of research skills and deepening and broadening of knowledge in terms of science subjects.
