Pretty exciting transition from elementary school to high school. We'll make sure you get off to a good start with us. We think it's important to feel at home and safe quickly and to get into a fine class. What is important to know about the bridge period? What nice things can we tell about this? Below we have listed some important things for you.
In our school we have 5 possibilities to flow in, so there is always one that suits you:
We work at our school with laptops. That doesn't mean you don't need books anymore, because we just keep using them. So it's going to be a combination. The laptops are intended for support.
The compartments in the different bridge classes are largely the same. Gymnasium has Latin as an extra course.
We have a 45-minute schedule at our school.
Ninth lesson 15.20 p.m. 16.05 p.m.
In seventh grade you don't have 9e duration, except if you receive extra guidance; Think of language support, RT, o.i.d.
Each junior class has its own mentor (teacher) and the two minimentors. These are class 4 students who know the school well. They help during the introduction days, study lessons and go on excursions. Since they've been in school for a number of years, they'll be able to guide you as a junior and answer your questions.
With a group of enthusiastic lecturers, mentors and miniatures, you will experience an intro day in the junior class. The main goal is to get to know your classmates well so that you quickly feel at home in the group. In addition, you can also make new friends in the other class that goes along.
Quest is a unique form of education, in which you learn to collaborate, research, present and evaluate in projects. In these projects, the process is paramount. The projects start from a current or relevant issue. From school year 2023-2024 this is one lesson per week.
For the interested students there is the possibility to opt for the gymnasium from junior level. In two lessons a week, you take the Latin course. Students with vwo advice are eligible for this. Our school within Eindhoven can count on a great enthusiasm from gymnasts. Every year three classes start with the classic program.
With us the junior students have a separate indoor break room so you have your own place within our school. Every junior has its own locker with charger in this room. Of course you can also spend your break outside on the school square in the beautiful nature surrounding the school building.
In high school, after almost every class, you go to another room. In your schedule you can see exactly which courses you have and in which room you should be in. A lesson lasts 45 minutes. Homework and your grades can always be found in the Magister app. When you start with us at school, we'll explain to you step by step how that works. You get used to it real fast!
What we think is very important is that you write your homework yourself and learn to plan. An agenda is very helpful. Our advice: buy an agenda in which you can see a whole week, spread over two pages. So you can have a look at it at a glance. You can choose and buy your own calendar: Choose one you like to work with.
Please note: This video was shot in our old building. Meanwhile we have moved to our new, modern building, but the content and core of our message remain the same.
Our new building is designed for inspiring and forward-looking education, with spacious, light classrooms and specialised compartments. Each room offers a beautiful view of the green park around our school, which ensures a quiet and pleasant learning environment. In the modern Science lab, students can experiment and research with the latest equipment, while the music studios are equipped with professional instruments and recording equipment, ideal for both teaching and creative projects. In addition, art and technology rooms offer plenty of space to discover and develop talents. Thanks to its smart design and green outdoor spaces, the building feels open and inviting, perfectly suited to our small and personal approach.

BrainSport Junior is a program for high- and higher-skilled people in the substructure. The students receive challenging lessons and work independently on projects on subjects that are not or hardly present in the normal curriculum.
The lessons are given according to the Big History method, a series of lessons that goes through the history of the universe from the Big Bang to the future. The lessons are taught by various teachers about art, social psychology, astronomy and philosophy. Students taking part take 1 or 2 lessons per week during their regular classes.
There are also excursions outside school. The participating students are selected by the reduction of the IST, the so-called Intelligence Structure Test, carried out by the Center for Genius Research in Nijmegen.
