The Goese Lyceum: parent-friendly secondary school.

Secondary school the Goese Lyceum is nominated for the Ouders & Onderwijs award for the most parent friendly school in the Netherlands. Read here why.

What makes the Goese Lyceum parent friendly?

Parents notice that both the management and the team find it important to work together with parents. There is much appreciation for the tailored education given to students in the form of extra support in the core subjects and how parents are involved. The jury notes that the school participation council is very proud of the school and the team.

What parents say about the school

Parents find the Goese Lyceum a nice school with very involved teachers and staff. They appreciate the good relationship between parents and school: ‘Teachers want the best for students and want to do that together with parents’. The school also involves the school participation council actively and is open to suggestions, input and improvements. This is clear from the prominent place the school participation council has in the newsletter.

What the Goese Lyceum says about parents

The school says involving parents is very important for the development of the student. Parents play a key role in supporting their child in three crucial learning areas: learning, learning to live, and learning to choose. As the Goese Lyceum says: ‘Good cooperation between school and parents helps a child grow not only in knowledge but also personally and socially’.
