At the Lorentz Casimir Lyceum, we think it is important that you receive good guidance. Especially during your first year, because the step from elementary school to high school can be very exciting. You will be assigned a mentor and two mini-mentors (students from the upper grades of our school). You will get to know the mentor and your classmates really well during the bridge camp.
Vision on support
It is important to us that as a student at the Lorentz Casimir Lyceum you can develop to your full potential and learn to take responsibility for yourself. To this end, you will receive good personal support from the bridge class to the final examination year. Our teachers, mentors and year group coordinators are closely involved with you.
If it appears that you need extra guidance with planning, learning (executive skills) or anything else, you can receive remedial teaching or guidance from a student counselor. Our school also offers professional guidance in cases of, for example, fear of failure, dyslexia, giftedness, ASD, AD(H)D or any personal problems. Together with you, the student counselor examines what works best for you and helps you find your own way in school.
In grades 1 and 2 havo, students can use the homework class free of charge, where they can work under supervision and be helped with planning their schoolwork. There is also a walk-in hour once a week to ask questions of a Dutch and/or math teacher.
During the first weeks of the bridge class, we test all students in the havo and havo/vwo bridge classes on spelling, reading comprehension, math and fine motor skills. Students in the gymnasium bridge class are tested for spelling and their need for additional challenge. A recommendation for further guidance may follow based on the results of these tests. Those students who have already presented a dyslexia statement upon enrollment will be offered RT during the first year so that they can get off to a good start, particularly in the modern foreign languages.
Dyslexic students in the higher grades are assigned a dyslexia coach to whom they can turn when they experience learning difficulties related to their dyslexia. Through that coach, it can also be arranged for the dyslexic student to use auditory support during tests, the so-called Kurzweil program. Click here for the dyslexia protocol.
We offer extra challenge and guidance for these students, both in the lower and upper grades. In the lower school we have BrainSport Junior. If you are selected for this, you may skip some classes and work one or two hours each week on projects. We guide students in their executive functions, such as "learning to learn" and "self-direction" so that students have an adequate learning and working attitude.
