Learning and Growing Together

Vision

We believe that strong collaboration is essential for development. We develop together: student, parent, school, and community. We do not see this as optional, but as a necessity. We want students, parents, and staff to be aware of their role and importance in society and the value they bring to it.

Together, we are responsible for upholding the desired norms and values. We achieve this by maintaining positive contact with each other, leaving room for building resilience.

 At our school, we continuously work on strengthening our professionalism and, in doing so, improving the quality of our education. Our ongoing goal is to develop the following points:

  1. Pedagogical approach
    We connect with students, show genuine interest, provide clarity and structure, are positive but also set boundaries. We express high expectations and act consistently in line with them.
  2. Meaningful education
    Learning takes place inside and outside the school, in every situation. Students understand why they are learning what they learn with us. We involve current events and the surrounding environment to make the lesson content close to societal realities. To align with students' interests, they choose a path in the lower secondary: Green, Discover, Arts, or Sports.
  3. Personal leadership
    Our students and staff are (mentally) resilient. We know that setbacks are part of the learning process and life, and we come out stronger. We expect everyone to be able to weigh what is good for others, the environment, and themselves. Therefore, sustainability is also central to our education.

All of this leads to happy students and staff.

Our full vision can be read in our school plan.

AT NUENENS COLLEGE, THREE THINGS ARE CENTRAL TO OUR EDUCATION, WHICH WE REFER TO AS PILLARS:

PEDAGOGICAL APPROACH

We connect with students and focus on their qualities.

MEANINGFUL EDUCATION

Students can make choices that align with their interests. Learning happens inside and outside the school, in every situation. Nuenen and surrounding communities play an important role in this.

PERSONAL LEADERSHIP

We know that setbacks are part of learning and life. We help our students handle them and learn from them.

YOUR FUTURE, YOUR CHOICE!
