VWO-atheneum & VWO-gymnasium

Vwo: a solid deepening for your future
Vwo stands for preparatory scientific education and lasts six years. With a vwo diploma you can go directly to university. With us you can choose from two directions:

• atheneum;
• gymnasium.

What is the difference?
Both programs are equally challenging and of the same level. If you choose the gymnasium, you will receive the classical languages Latin and Greek as an extra. This will immerse you in the world of the ancient Greeks and Romans. You will learn the language and discover their stories, history, culture and way of thinking. At the atheneum you do not follow these classical subjects.

You can follow both courses in Dutch or bilingual (TTO). If you choose TTO, at least 50% of your lessons will be in English and you can obtain international certificates, such as Cambridge English or International Baccalaureate (IB).

With a vwo level, you can start with us in the following bridging classes:

• (bilingual) vwo-atheneum/havo
• (bilingual) vwo-atheneum
• (bilingual) vwo-gymnasium

Room for deepening and broadening
Do you need extra challenge? Then you can join the MHB peer group for gifted and talented students. Here you will meet others who – just like you – love to think, ask questions and discover new things.

With us, you don’t just learn from books. You also work on current issues and projects from the real world. That’s what we call Challenge Based Learning. You research, come up with solutions and work together – skills that you will also need later on.

Do you like a challenge? Then you can participate in Olympiads, debating competitions or international exchanges. You can even learn additional languages, such as Chinese, Arabic or Russian.

Our vwo education is provided by a permanent vwo team of committed teachers. They teach vwo students, work intensively together and know you well – not only as a student, but also as a person.
