Comenius College is a school of secondary education that offers all levels of our national system, meaning from Practical VMBO till VWO. In this campus we have about 2500 students and our scope is regional, combining the city center of Rotterdam, the suburb of Capelle aan den IJssel and the wide countryside of different regions. Our school is specialized in internationalization, bilingual education and we do have excellent arts and exact science departments. We offer a variety of languages like Dutch, English, French, German and Spanish. Most of our students come from the nearby area and countryside, but because of the metro stop in front of the school yet more students come from the Rotterdam City Centre. So we have a mixture of students. We have students from a lot of nationalities, partly of our Dutch history, but also of the latest migration waves. So, we do have a number of students involved in the project coming from other countries, but that’s not a real problem. What is a problem nowadays is, that because of the economical crisis, some families have great difficulties in their daily life. They just have the minimum income and that is for Dutch standdards not that much. All HAVO 4-students of the DRawing class will participate in this project as it is part of their curriculum.
As Rotterdam is a very international orientated city, we as a school would like to offer our students the opportunity to work in international surroundings as well. We think it is very important to let them experience the European Dimension in a lot of aspects and getting to know students from other European countries. The countries involved in this project are very appealing in the minds of our students ( and teachers) and great countries to cooperate with. Beside the topic of water itself, the possibility of mobility's during the project is a great motivation for our students to work on the project. International projects are part of our curriculum and are supported by all: students, parents, teachers, staff and overall staff. In our school we have a task force internationalization.
Our school has started a bilingual department in 2010. That’s another important reason why we focus on international projects like this one. The bilingual stream has reached the examination year, so the stream is completed from year one to year six. So we are proud to be the first school in our region to offer this great possibility to our students. We like to work on international topics that have real meaning for our students and teachers for now and in the future.
