Structure provides space
Our educational organisation is structured in such a way that we can offer our pupils a great deal of customisation.

This means accelerating, enriching, deepening or broadening, with the pupil retaining a high degree of ownership of his own learning process.
 
Teacher as learning professional
We offer modern, challenging and high-quality education, in which both pupils and staff can develop their talents. We encourage our staff to develop personally in line with their aptitude, competences and ambitions.
 
Our extras
Zaanlands Lyceum obtained the designation 'Excellent School' for its vwo department, mainly because of the customisation we offer cognitive talent and what this means for the rest of the school. In addition, we are a member of the Association of Gifted Profile Schools (BPS), we are a Beta Partner and Olympiad School and offer very many extra-curricular opportunities for pupils and colleagues.
