Activating, experiential and visually appealing education for the student, which connects to his world of experience, with customized study guidance. This is the education we design, create and deliver with and to the student who chooses the Sondervick College.
Learning by doing. That is the approach. We take small steps, together, into the future. We learn with and from each other. For this, it is necessary that everyone has their own "device," so that everyone can contribute and learn.
By using a device in the classroom, we ensure that teaching is better suited to the students, but also that more use is made of the various possibilities. So the laptop is not just for taking notes. Workpieces are made on it, but also videos, collages and summaries. For some of the subjects we have a digital method. Various online options are also used such as 'wrts', for learning words.
The laptop has to go to school with you every day. Therefore, it is recommended to purchase a good laptop bag.
A room (D.2.46) has been set up at school where the laptop doctor is located (12:00-14:00). If the latter is unable to solve the problem, the supplier should be contacted.
If the laptop breaks down at home, becomes defective, you can contact the supplier directly. They will then help you further.
Students with laptop problems can visit D.2.46 from 8:15 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and during breaks.
Depending on the service contracted with the supplier, you may or may not be entitled to a loaner laptop.

For students with a dyslexia statement, there is the option of requesting textbooks in spoken form in addition to regular books.

Microsoft makes Office 365 ProPlus available to students and pupils through the Student Advantage program. The conditions are that Sondervick College holds a Microsoft agreement in which Microsoft Office is licensed for the entire organization (faculty/staff) and that Office 365 is used for educational purposes. This is the case. This arrangement allows each student/student to install the office package on up to five laptops/computers.
