Compulsory teaching time
The school year usually consists of 40 school weeks. Effective teaching time does not occur in all weeks. This is due, among other things, to holidays, study days, test weeks, report meetings, and so on. Within our program we monitor the norm of 3700 (vmbo and mavo), 4700 (havo) and 5700 (vwo) hours per school career. We limit and prevent class dropouts as much as possible. To this end, a number of measures have been taken such as:
- Reception by a teacher who does not have a class at that time (substitute teacher).
- Distribution of the class to other teaching groups (study room).
- Accommodation of the class in a separate study room (OLC).
In addition, as a school we attach great importance to the prevention and prevention of absenteeism. Student absenteeism is recorded in Magister. If a student is too often late, absent or sick, measures will follow. The mentor and student coordinator monitor this. In this we cooperate with the school doctor and the compulsory education advisor.

Starting in school year 2025-2026, the school bell system will change. The new practice will provide more structure and clarity at the start of classes.
Beginning of the school day:
- The bell rings at 8:25 a.m. - time to head toward your classroom.
- Class begins at 8:30 a.m.
Also during breaks, the bell will ring twice from now on:
- First break:
- 11:10 a.m. - first bell: time to pack your things and head toward the classroom.
- 11:15 a.m. - second bell: beginning of the next class.
- Second break:
- 1:20 p.m. - first bell: time to return to the classroom.
- 1:25 p.m. - second bell: beginning of the next class.
With these new bell times, we want to ensure a calm transition between breaks and classes.
