International
Supreme College stands for education of the future in a close-knit international community for students who want to positively influence their own world and the world of others.
Our school has a maximum of two subjects per day and no traditional classrooms. What also makes Supreme College special is that you can obtain two internationally renowned diplomas: the Middle Years Programme (MYP) of the International Baccalaureate and the internationally renowned vwo.
A different approach
to learning
Cross curricular learning is at the heart of Supreme College Nederland. Therefore, subject specific knowledge of, e.g. history, social studies and geography blends into inquiry-based learning in topical issues such as immigration and sustainability. The starting point is always contributing to a better world and becoming a global citizen.
The MYP at Supreme College Nederland consists of seven subject groups
- Language and Literature (Dutch and English)
- Language Acquisition (Spanish and German)
- Individuals & Societies
- Mathematics
- Sciences
- Arts
- Physical and health education (PHE)
Six global contexts guide these subject groups
- Identities and relationships
- Personal and cultural expression
- Orientation in space and time
- Scientific and technological innovation
- Fairness and development
- Globalization and sustainability
Concepts
Concepts such as ‘perspective’ or ‘systems’ are used to research interesting issues and ideas of personal, local or global importance. In this way lessons become lively and meaningful. This new approach to learning is also applied to the vwo curriculum.

In short, at Supreme College Nederland you will be working towards a successful, international career!
