Home-language resources and activities celebrating linguistic diversity (e.g., International Mother Language Day) are provided.
Bilingual education (TTO) is offered for the HAVO and VWO programs. More than half of all subjects are taught in English from the first year, and the curriculum is internationally oriented. An English Language and Culture course is taught by a native English speaker. The TTO program lasts three years; after that, all classes and final exams are in Dutch, with a Junior Certificate awarded after three years and Cambridge Certificates pursued from the fourth year.
Instruction begins with an English-language curriculum and six hours of Dutch lessons per week. All subjects are taught in English. NT2 (Dutch as a second language) and Dutch-language culture are taught with language support based on individual needs. ESOL support helps learners of English, and home-language resources (library materials and AI tutors) are provided, with International Mother Language Day activities celebrated.
