Our foundations

  • Language

  • Social mix

  • Other learning spaces besides schools

  • Learning with and from each other

Our guidance mission

Valuing

Motivating

and Giving opportunities!

Our learning spaces reflect different approaches

We develop other learning spaces (alongside the traditional school) where young people can learn

  • To counter truancy in a broad sense
  • To make a possible return to mainstream education possible
  • After a prior screening of the candidate through an interview (this pre-screening is mandatory, which means only pre-registrations can take place through this site)

We apply different, pedagogically grounded approaches for:

  • Gifted learners (a growing group!)
  • Highly sensitive learners
  • Learners with ADHD
  • Learners with autism and average ability
  • Sick young people in the 'DeaDia' project (depression, diabetes, cancer, chronic fatigue syndrome, …)
  • Young people with dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia in the 'Genios' project
  • Grade repeaters (young people who fall behind because they also have to redo, at school, subjects they had already passed, and then fail those too — an 18-year-old ending up in a class with 15-year-olds)
  • Learners with psychological difficulties resulting from, for example, bullying, fear of failure, the effects of a divorce (where failing at school can be a cry for attention)
  • Learners with social and financial difficulties: (intergenerational) poverty, alcohol & drugs (at home, themselves, in their circle of friends, …)
