The havo at Haarlem College is on solid ground. Since the department's inception, a great deal of care has gone into building excellent education, personal attention, and a safe learning environment. With results: the inspectorate has rated our havo as sufficient<\/strong> assessed. That is the highest possible judgement<\/strong>.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Important to know: this inspection visit did not take place because there were concerns, but because an inspection at the start of a new department routinely checks if the quality is in order. The conclusion was clear: yes<\/strong>. The inspection visited lessons and spoke with teachers, mentors, the support team and pupils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reassuring thought<\/strong>
For parents and carers, this is a reassuring thought. It means that your child is in good hands with us at our HAVO school. The inspection notes that we monitor students well, provide appropriate support, and ensure a learning environment where students feel safe and learn actively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Distinctive HAVO: not just in books
<\/strong>What sets our HAVO apart is the combination of thinking and doing. As headteacher Robin Hoenderdos explains in the Haarlems Dagblad<\/em> It seems that the combination of thinking and doing also appeals to many pupils with a HAVO recommendation. Not with their noses in books all day, but also making something. At Haarlem College, we make learning meaningful and relevant by linking theory to practice, with excellent facilities and collaboration with local businesses and organisations.

Good support<\/strong>
In addition to a practical component, students also receive traditional subjects like mathematics and Dutch, and when a student needs it, they receive extra support. At Haarlem College, we look out for each other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the media<\/strong>
This development is also seen outside of school. Haarlems Dagblad<\/em> wrote that the HAVO department is here to stay. Councillor Bas van Leeuwen spoke of a \u201esuccessful start\u201d and of \u201esteady and carefully organised growth\u201d towards a \u201estable HAVO provision in Schalkwijk\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will you put us in first place?<\/strong>
The foundation is therefore strong, the quality is in order, and we are building a sustainable future. Are you looking for a HAVO for your child where attention, structure, quality and variety come together? Then put Haarlem College's HAVO as your first choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
