What does the Lorentz Casimir stand for?

Updated on: 11 November 2024

Topics covered by this chapter

The Lorentz Casimir Lyceum was formed in 1996 by a merger between the Lorentz Lyceum and the Rommert Casimir Havo. The Lorentz Lyceum was founded in 1929 by parents who wanted education for their children on a general basis. The Rommert Casimir Havo was founded in 1946 as a Senior Girls School on a Christian basis and was transformed into Havo on a general basis in 1968. 

The current Lorentz Casimir Lyceum is run by the Foundation General Special Education Eindhoven. 

 

Our mission - What do we stand for?

In the constantly changing world, the young adult is accompanied to discover and further develop his knowledge and talents. Getting a HAVO, ATHENEUM or Gymnasium diploma is central, which lays the basis for further education. The student is also well equipped to actively participate in the changing society. Within the Lorentz Casimir Lyceum it is important that students learn: 

  • challenge itself to achieve maximum self-sufficiency; 
  • be curious and show an investigative attitude; 
  • take responsibility for their own learning process; 
  • respect and be open to others' opinions; 
  • to see the talents of others so that they can work better with others; 
  • Make friends and have a good time together at school. 

Our vision - What are we going for?

Our vision is based on the above values. They are central to our way of learning and working together: 

  1. WeSEENThe student is standing, because we 
  • are curious about that student and students are curious about the other; 
  • value talents; 
  • help if necessary; 
  • ensuring a pleasant atmosphere to learn and work in; 
  • his pride; 
  • Everyone can be there and everyone gets the best chances with us.

 

      2. WeDAYSthe student out, because we 

  • prepare them for the future; 
  • give them the confidence to take responsibility for their own learning process; 
  • allow that student to make their own choices; 
  • encourage them to perform well while working on personal development; 
  • let them participate actively in the rapidly changing world outside the school, both regionally, in our Brainport region, nationally and internationally.
