Going to bridge class
A good start!
Pretty exciting, that transition from elementary school to high school. Together with your elementary school, we make sure you get off to a good start. It is important to us that you quickly feel at home and safe, and that you join a good class.
"In math class, for example, you have three different learning paths"
Curious to know what our students think of the two-year freshman program? Jasmijn would be happy to tell you all about it.
The mentor
The person who is always there for you is your mentor. If you or your parents have any questions, you can always contact the mentor. The mentor also gives the mentor lessons to your mentor class. Here you "learn how to learn" and how best to tackle your homework. Your mentor also teaches you how we deal with each other at school and what agreements there are at school.
Two-year bridge classes
We think it’s important that you quickly feel at home at our school and that you’re in the right place. At our school, all first-year classes are two-year programs. This gives you plenty of time to get used to secondary school. We offer a VMBO Basis/Kader introductory class, a Kader/MAVO, MAVO/HAVO introductory class, and a HAVO/VWO introductory class. In these so-called “mixed-level” classes, instruction is provided at both levels. Do you need a little extra explanation? You’ll get it. Ready for a bit more of a challenge? Then the teacher will provide more in-depth material. We take your level into account when assessing your progress. In the second year at Sondervick College, we’ll work with you and your parents to determine which program suits you best.
For VWO students seeking an extra challenge, we offer a bilingual VWO first-year class—a program designed for students looking for a challenging, bilingual learning environment.
Fun activities
We organize many educational and fun activities. Like the fall ball, a swimming party, technology and design excursions and theme weeks. That way you get to know each other well.
Developing Entrepreneurial Skills During GO! Classes
At Sondervick College, you’ll truly have the opportunity to grow, discover your talents, and learn new things. During the GO! classes, you’ll choose one of the learning labs or skills sessions.
- Learning Labs are electives where you choose a topic that you find interesting. For example, you can choose drama, dance, photography or knitting/ crochet! You learn new things and work on skills such as creative thinking or cooperation.
- Skills sessions focus on subjects such as Dutch, English and math. Here you work on improving your basic skills as needed.
