Training
Two-year bridge class
It is important to us that you feel at home in our school and that you are in the right place. That's why all our bridge classes are two-year classes. This gives you ample time to get used to secondary education.
In the havo/vwo bridge class, classes are taught at both levels. Do you need some extra explanation? Then you'll get it. Just ready for some extra challenge? Then the teacher will provide in-depth material. During testing we take your level into account. In the second year at the Sondervick College we look, together with you and your parents, at which study program suits you best.
Do you have a clear vwo recommendation from the elementary school, are you looking for extra challenge in a bilingual learning environment? Then the bilingual vwo bridge class is for you!
Athenaeum and gymnasium
During the first school year you will be offered the subject of classical cultural education. In the second year of the bridge class, you can choose the gymnasium track.
At grammar school, in addition to the general school subjects, you will take two additional subjects: Greek and Latin. You will have lessons on grammar but also on mythology (stories from Greek and Roman antiquity).
Bilingual education
Do you want to become a world citizen and look beyond borders? Then bilingual education (TTO) is just the thing for you!
At the Sondervick College you can choose bilingual education for the havo and vwo programs. Starting in the bridge class, you will take more than half of all subjects in English. By immersing yourself in the English language, you will quickly make the language your own.
New: T-VWO bridge class
Starting with school year 2025-2026, we will also have a t-vwo bridge class. This bridge class will offer bilingual education at the vwo and vwo+ level.
Profiles
Starting in grade 4, you no longer take all subjects but a package of subjects.
A package consists of:
A common part for all students.
A profile part with some profile-specific subjects and electives.
The free space with one or two electives.
There is a choice of the following profile sections with the possibility of combining several profiles:
- C&M: culture and society
- E&M: economy and society
- N&G: nature and health
- N&T: nature and technology
- Combination C&M with E&M or N&G with N&T is also possible.
Eye on the future and the world
At the Sondervick College we educate our students to become global citizens. The location of our school in the Brainport region plays an important role in this. We pay extra attention to science subjects, robotics and new technological developments. In addition, we work together with companies and institutions in the region. Think of excursions to Strijp-S, the TU/e, museums and companies.
At the vwo, you will also engage in science orientation. In these lessons you will be introduced to all kinds of aspects of scientific research. This begins as early as the bridge class.
