Talk to the primary school and ask what they think would best suit your child. Also discuss with the group 8 teacher what you think suits your child best. In a pre-university education (VWO)/higher general secondary education (HAVO), we assume that a student can at least achieve havo and, with extra effort and potential, may also be able to reach a VWO level. If a student has to work hard to get to havo, but if lower general secondary education (MAVO) is certainly within reach, then HAVO/MAVO is a good option.
We teach at the higher level, with the appropriate teaching material and at the appropriate pace. We also test at the higher level and standardize at the lower level, so that the students who will fit best there can also achieve a good result in the following year.
No, unfortunately that is not possible.
Yes, this is possible. However, the first school year must be fully completed unless this jeopardises a student’s transition.
We have a care office with associated care coordinators. They will discuss with you, your parent(s)/carer(s) and your primary school what is best for you. Every pupil who needs extra care and attention is discussed individually.
Are you an international student? If so, you can follow a Bilingual International Programme (TIP) at the Henegouwenlaan location. This is for students who have an international background but do not yet have a sufficient command of the Dutch language. You will receive extra Dutch lessons: tailor-made for you, within a bilingual class. Besides the extra Dutch lessons, you will follow the normal timetable together with your class.
The aim of this programme is to eventually move on to the Dutch education system, where extra hours of Dutch will no longer be necessary.
Is this not the international programme you are looking for? Our school is part of SILFO. SILFO is an educational organisation in Eindhoven that offers students various international programmes at three different schools.

No, we do not work with a ‘lottery’ system. Our new school building is large. This allows us to match the first choice of all students to come to our school.
Students with an international background can receive a service with extra NT2 lessons (Dutch as a second language)
These students need to have a starting level of A1 in Dutch as minimum requirement.
