About this discipline
The schakelklas and the opstroomklas are preparatory years for pupils who have not been in Belgium for a long time and who may have a learning and language deficiency. They often lack basic knowledge of mathematics due to a different approach in their country of origin or because it was taught insufficiently. In these transition classes pupils will receive a lot of Dutch, extra mathematics and other general subjects. The students will be encouraged to work project-based, in-depth and reinforced. The schakelklas is aimed at pupils who have not yet obtained a certificate of primary education because they have to improve their language skills first.
