About Atlas College
Mission...
Good education, good for each other!
Atlas College provides excellent education, tailored to each student. All students enjoy coming to school and encounter a pleasant, safe learning and living environment. As an employer and an education provider, Atlas College strives to teach employees and students to shine.“
...core values...
What does Atlas College stand for? What do we believe in, what connects us and who do we want to be? We summarise the answers to these questions in three Atlas-wide core values:
- Accessibility: Everyone is welcome, we have a place and an offer for everyone.
- Diversity: We learn from differences.
- Sustainability: We work and learn for now and tomorrow.
...and ambitions
Besides the core values, the Atlas schools share three ambitions:
Valuable education for every pupil
This means:
- education that students value, as Atlas College makes every effort to ensure that they are active, eager to learn and meaningful at school;
- education that matches the individual talents and skills of the pupil as much as possible;
- education in which students feel seen, valued and challenged and satisfied with what they learn;
- education that promotes and embeds Atlas College's core values of accessibility, diversity and sustainability, thus supporting students in their process of making a difference in the society they live in from strength.
Valued performance
Atlas College wants to achieve performance that is valued by students, parents, further education and organisations we work with. In addition, Atlas College wants to be systematically accountable for the results achieved.
Powerful colleagues
Strong colleagues are needed to realise ambitions. They are colleagues who can and want to take control of their own tasks and development and remain in dialogue about them. And colleagues who are aware that they are part of a professional learning community.
The core values and ambitions are the common thread in what binds the Atlas schools together to form Atlas College.
