Nice to see you!

Welcome!

Our school is surrounded by fields and there is plenty of room for sports and recreation. However, our school is also in the middle of Eindhoven, in the Brainport region, where the field of technology and design are developing all the time. As an official Brainport school, we offer our pupils subjects and projects that are linked to the Brainport themes.

We are also the only secondary school in Eindhoven to include design in the curriculum, in both lower and upper secondary classes. In order to prepare our pupils to be world citizens, we help them be more aware of what is happening in the world. Quest is a good example of this. From the First Lego League to music, from maths to drama, from debate clubs to robotics, there are so many ways to get involved in more than just lessons! Our aim is not only for you to get to know yourself better but also to understand the world around you better.

Here at the Lorentz Casimir Lyceum, our goal is to work with you to help you develop and fully enjoy and make the most of your time here at secondary school. Our school provides a safe and stimulating atmosphere, a place where you can feel welcome, where everyone feels respected and appreciated for their individuality and talents.

Academic success is, of course, also important. Our school consistently scores well above the national average in the final exams for both havo and vwo. There is a very good chance that you will complete your secondary education successfully here at the Lorentz Casimir Lyceum.

We will help you!

We will help you get used to your new school. Your mentor is your confidant to whom you can always turn. Your class also has two mini mentors. These are students from class 4 who will quickly show you around the school. You can ask them anything you want! If you find some subjects difficult, you can get extra help. We have help classes in French, English, Dutch, math and biology. You can also get help with fear of failure or social-emotional problems.

Our school also offers you extras such as:

  • Cambridge Pro and reinforced French;
  • BrainSport junior; a learning line for the gifted;
  • Drawing and computer science as an exam subject;
  • First Lego League (developing robots);
  • Master classes at Eindhoven University of Technology.

Quest

Quest is a subject taught only at the Lorentz Casimir Lyceum. During these classes you learn to cooperate, research, present and evaluate. You work in groups on different projects. In these projects you work on a current or relevant topic and several subjects are involved. In this subject you learn to deal with digital technology in our society and we pay attention to citizenship education. In addition, you learn to work on your research skills. A guest lesson, visiting a company or a workshop by an external expert ensure that within Quest you learn what the world outside the school looks like. Each project concludes with a final presentation. Your parents, brothers, sisters and other interested parties are then all welcome at our school. Of course you will be guided by your Quest teacher and your mentor in the lessons and during the presentation.

What do we think is important at the Lorentz Casimir Lyceum?

  • That there is a safe school climate;
  • That every student is seen and known;
  • That differences among students are recognized and understood;
  • That you are challenged at your own level;
  • That you get the opportunities to develop your talents to the maximum;
