Transferring from vmbo to havo: opportunities and challenges

Many students who have obtained their vmbo diploma will find that transferring to havo is a good next step. At the Lorentz Casimir Lyceum, we guide students intensively in the transition from vmbo to havo. This way they are optimally prepared for the challenges that havo offers. We are happy to offer them the right support for a smooth and successful transition.

Why make the switch from vmbo to havo?

More and more students are choosing to move on to havo after their vmbo-t diploma. This is because a havo diploma opens many doors, for example to various higher vocational schools, and it increases future opportunities. Are you a student who achieved good results at vmbo? And do you have the ambition to continue studying? Then transferring to havo can be a valuable challenge. At the Lorentz Casimir Lyceum, we like to help students make this transition successfully with a structured and supportive learning environment.

Not every student is always admissible for havo. In fact, there are certain conditions for making this transition. At the Lorentz Casimir Lyceum we look at a number of criteria. We expect a vmbo-t diploma with good results. We would also like to ensure that the student has sufficient motivation and commitment. The high school must give a positive recommendation. Finally, it is important that the student has an appropriate profile for the havo direction the student wants to follow. Based on these factors, we can estimate whether a student can successfully complete the transition from vmbo to havo.

What does the transition from vmbo to havo look like?

Moving from mavo to havo is a big step. Havo offers more theoretical depth and requires more independent work. Therefore, at the Lorentz Casimir Lyceum, we believe that extra support for students making the transition is important. We do this by providing extra guidance. We would also like to help develop study skills, such as planning, researching and summarizing. Finally, we offer an induction program to make the transition as smooth as possible. We start with an introductory period where you as a student can get used to the havo education and its expectations.

We believe it is important for each student to develop to their full potential. For this reason, we offer personal guidance during this transition. We take into account the learning style and needs of each student, so he or she can quickly feel at home in a new learning environment. Contact us to schedule an introductory meeting. Together we will make sure your child gets the most out of his or her talents!

There are a number of conditions for transferring from vmbo-t to havo at the Lorentz Casimir Lyceum. First, we expect a vmbo-t diploma with an average grade of at least 6.8. Motivation and commitment are also important, along with a positive recommendation from the high school. Finally, the havo profile chosen must fit well with the student's abilities and interests.
Transferring from vmbo to havo can be challenging. That is why we see intensive guidance at Lorentz Casimir Lyceum as a high priority. You can think of extra support in subjects, help in developing study skills such as planning and summarizing, and we have an introductory program to make the transition go smoothly. Our goal is to help students get optimally acclimated to the havo level.
A havo diploma offers many transfer opportunities to higher education, for example, higher vocational studies. Students who perform well at the vmbo and would like to continue studying are suitable for this transition to increase their chances for the future. We carefully guide these students at the Lorentz Casimir Lyceum to make the transition successful.
Compared to vmbo-t, havo is more theoretically challenging and requires more independence. Students at havo are given more complex material, have to go deeper into subjects and learn to work more independently. We therefore support students with study skills and guidance so that they can adapt to the new way of learning.
Is your child interested in transferring from vmbo to havo at the Lorentz Casimir Lyceum? Then you can contact us for an introductory interview. During this meeting we will discuss the admission requirements, guidance and expectations. Together we will see if the transition is a good choice and how we can best support the student.
