The difference between havo and vwo is mainly in the length of the course and the depth of content. Havo takes five years and prepares you for higher vocational education (hbo), while vwo takes six years and prepares you for university. At vwo, you get more theoretical and academic depth, while havo focuses on a more practical application of the subject matter. We are happy to help you make the right choice based on your talents and learning style.
If you choose the gymnasium, you will take Latin and Greek in addition to the regular vwo subjects. In addition, you will learn a lot about the culture and history of classical antiquity. These subjects will give you extra depth and broaden your view of language, culture and history, which may serve you well in your subsequent studies at university.
We believe it is important for students to be able to develop their talents both inside and outside the classroom. In addition to our curriculum, we offer plenty of opportunities for sports, cultural activities and various projects. Students can join clubs or participate in special programs such as technology and sustainability projects appropriate to our Brainport school. This gives your child the space to grow in multiple areas.
With us, personal guidance is key. We have mentors who will help you with study planning and homework, and there are various help classes available for subjects you are having trouble with. We also work with smaller groups when necessary, so that each student gets the attention he or she needs. Parents may also have regular contact with the mentor to discuss progress.
Yes, of course! We are happy to invite parents and students for an introduction. You can contact us to plan a tour of the school and ask all your questions. This will give you a good idea of the atmosphere at our school and the various educational options, such as havo, atheneum and gymnasium in Eindhoven.
