We have a GROEI vision. GROEI stands for Togetherness, Relationship, Development, Ownership and Identity. We want our students to grow cognitively as well as socially and emotionally. This is only possible if you have an eye for each other. At De Elzenhoek, students are truly seen.
At De Elzenhoek we try to find a good balance in acquiring knowledge, stimulating personal development and practical skills. Good education starts with good instruction. That is why we teach according to the EDI model, Explicit Direct Instruction. By teaching this way, students are optimally involved and learn to achieve the set goals step by step.
We pay attention to talent. We teach our students that they are allowed to be there and encourage their self-confidence. We are a place of practice, where mistakes are allowed, where new opportunities are given. This creates plenty of room for everyone to discover and further develop their talents. We are a BPS school, which means that we are a regular school with an enhanced offer for students who are more- and highly gifted.
At De Elzenhoek, we go for GROWTH!
