Education at Lorentz Casimir Lyceum

Updated on: 24 June 2025

Topics covered by this chapter

The Lorentz Casimir Lyceum teaches for the final exam Havo, atheneum and gymnasium. The Higher General Education (HAVO) department provides a general training of five years, the diploma of which gives access to higher vocational education or a flow to vwo 5. The havist is a smart student who prefers to learn through experience and doing things. 

The atheneum together with the gymnasium forms the Preparatory Scientific Education (vwo). This is a six-year course, the diploma of which gives access to higher vocational education or to the university. The student is looking for deeper content with which he prepares for a more academically tinted study. In addition to the vwo profile, the gymnasium student chooses to focus on the languages and culture of classical antiquity, which are also the cradle of our current culture and morality. 

The mastery of knowledge and the associated skills is an important condition to succeed in a future study and/or profession. The school consequently strives to offer high-quality professional lessons. However, the ambitions of the Lorentz Casimir Lyceum extend further. In addition to the current curriculum, we want to make it possible to create additional challenges in the form of various educational programmes and activities, in which students can excel in specific disciplines. In the four-yearly inspection study (2023), the school obtained the rating "Good Value" for the realisation of the above ambitions. We are highlighting the most important of these educational programmes.
