The Dutch Secondary School System

The Dutch system for secondary schools has been divided into three different levels of education:
  • VMBO
  • HAVO
  • VWO
In the Netherlands children enter secondary school around the age of twelve and - depending on the level of education - graduate around the age of either sixteen, seventeen or eighteen.
Sondervick College provides education on all three of these levels.
In 2008 the school first started teaching TTO, meaning not just the regular Gymnasium and Athenaeum can be followed, but also the bilingual variants can be followed.
