Core Qualities

We encourage students to develop and discover their talents. We prepare them optimally for further education and for a rapidly changing society, enabling them to make a lasting contribution as responsible global citizens.

We live in a society with many different political and religious convictions and with people with completely different backgrounds and origins. This is especially evident in our school with its many nationalities. By working together we shape our society and prepare our students for the role they will be playing in this society.

Our core qualities, the principles we as a school stand and strive for and how we distinguish ourselves, are: development-focussed, transparency, security, respect and inter-cultural behavior.

The focus of our school is the development of the students. To best support our students, all those who are connected to the school will continually work on their own development. We are a ‘learning community’.

Transparency is an important aspect to help students, parents and staff members know where they ‘belong’ and where they can go. It is also seen in the way we communicate about the choices we make and how we make them: in cooperation with all those involved in and around the school.

Our small team structure offers students and staff a secure environment, where they both are responsible for an atmosphere of trust and respect.

Respect determines how we act and respond  and relate to others. Respectful interaction is all the more significant in a school like ours, which is characterised by a wide variety of cultural, ethnic and religious backgrounds. We see this variety as an added value to our school. We want our students and staff members to see beyond their own cultural and national boundaries and to show international mindedness.
