Mission statement

We consider Christian education a divine assignment. Our aim is to prepare the pupils and lay the groundwork for lives that will include full participation as citizens. We approach curriculum design from a Biblical position but also recognise and acknowledge the standards set by the National Curriculum. As a reformed school we aim to maintain the glorification of God as the prevailing standard.

It is our desire that the pupils acquire the ability to base all their decisions on the scriptural principles they have been taught. It is our hope that our pupils will be able to face life with all its problems and challenges with hope, determination and resourcefulness. We sincerely desire to see all our pupils make the best of their God-given abilities, whatever they may be, thus preparing them to be useful citizens and servants of God. We aim to provide an environment in which the child experiences acceptance, support, nurture, challenge and encouragement, where the child is valued for who they are and not just for what they can do.

Our school confesses God’s Word as the one and only foundation for life and doctrine. We subscribe the Three Forms of Unity as based on the Scripture. The Three Forms are The Heidelberg Catechism, The Dutch Confession and The Canons of Dordrecht.

4

Each member of staff at the Wartburg College has declared that they agree with this foundation. Also, parents are expected to be in agreement with this.

Our (reformed) Christian school highly appreciates the theological inheritance from the time of the Reformation and Further Reformation. It is our aim to make pupils aware of this inheritance. They are called to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. This calling is God’s act of grace. On the pupil's side the act of grace is affirmed through commitment. It is not only the acceptance of the truth of certain doctrinal statements. It contains conversion, personal faith in Christ as their Saviour and the embodiment of the lifestyle of Jesus before the face of God.

Therefore, our educational climate is characterised by key words such as authority, love, responsibility and personality. Moreover, our teachers and pupils are aware of the presence of sins in our hearts and in the systems of this imperfect world. This is why we have translated the Ten Commandments into rules that have daily relevance for teachers and pupils.

5

What is TTO? Content and language integrated learning TTO is bilingual education. In Dutch TTO stands for tweetalig onderwijs, which means the subjects will be taught in either Dutch or English. This will be in the first three forms of secondary school. During these three years, approximately half of your subjects will be in English and the other half will be in Dutch. History, for example, is taught in English and the textbooks and workbooks used are actually from England. In other words: there are absolutely no Dutch words in the books nor is there an English-Dutch vocabulary list. This takes some getting used to in the beginning, as everything is in English. Even the tests are in English! But that doesn't really matter because there are extra English lessons. TTO students have 4 hours of English a week whereas non-TTO students only have 3 hours a week. In the first form about 20 lessons are taught in English. Just imagine how much the level of English will have improved after just a few months of TTO education. English is taught by a native speaker, a person who was born and raised in an English-speaking country, and by two other near-native speakers. These teachers all have university degrees. Of course the pupils are allowed to speak some Dutch in the beginning and their teacher will translate a lot of what is being said during the lessons. If they write down some Dutch words during a test, the teacher won't count it as a mistake. However, using Dutch words or speaking Dutch won't be necessary in the second semester because the TTO students will be able to speak English more fluently. Gradually the pupils will get used to the idea of speaking English all the time and having their classmates and teachers speak English to each other as well. In this booklet you can also read some stories written by our TTO students. Of course these stories are all in English! As you can see, their level of English is quite good after only a few months of TTO. At the end of the school year all TTO students get to go to Canterbury, England. There the students (in groups of 3 or 4) interview English people. This is no problem for our students, as their level of English is quite high after only one year of TTO.

6

All TTO teachers are expected to follow several courses in order to be able to teach their subjects in English and they must have a good knowledge of the English language to begin with. As TTO teachers we all aim for quality. Eventually all teachers are required to pass their Cambridge Advanced Exam or preferably their Cambridge Proficiency Exam. Most of our TTO teachers have already passed the Cambridge Advanced Exam and some of them have even passed their Cambridge Proficiency Exam. EXAMS At the end of the third form, students have the opportunity to take an official Cambridge Exam: First Certificate in English. This certificate is recognised all over the world as proof of your ability to use English. These certificates never expire so they are an achievement for life. WHY TTO? English is spoken by more people than any other language. Moreover, English is the international language of diplomacy, business, science, technology, banking, computing, medicine, aviation, UN & NATO armed forces, engineering, tourism...etc. Therefore it is essential to have an excellent knowledge of the English language. More and more foreign schools for higher education and universities offer courses in English. TTO education provides an excellent opportunity to start learning English. "Just Go For It!!" Our school enables pupils to join our TTO first form provided they meet the requirements: - VWO recommendation from your primary school (VWO= pre-university education) - CITO score of 545 or higher - lots of motivation and eager to learn new things This year we also hope to start a new TTO first form. This is a wonderful challenge for motivated and talented VWO students! Don't let this opportunity slip through your fingers! S.P. van den Berg Coordinator TTO

TTO miscellaneous

TTO ....is meant for pupils who...

* need an extra challenge * can handle the extra challenge * are highly motivated * are eager to learn and are interested in TTO * have good language skills * show great perseverance * can meet the required VWO level

Criteria for TTO acceptance 1.positive recommendation by the pupil's primary school (VWO level) 2.CITO score of at least 546 3.positive assessment of the pupil based on the admission interview with both pupil and parent(s)* During this interview the following will be assessed: -motivation - pupil's willingness to show extra dedication - pupil's knowledge of language in general (and the English language)

* During the meeting we also ask the parents to indicate whether they think their son/daughter would be suitable for TTO and what the parents' own opinion is of TTO. Both the parents and the pupil will be invited to school for this admission meeting.

8

European Platform The Guido de Bres fully endorses the TTO standard of the European Platform(E.P.). Commissioned by the Ministry of Education and Culture, the E.P. supervises all TTO schools and TTO education in The Netherlands. The requirements to be met by a TTO school are described in the standard. These are basically the two main objectives: * increasing pupils' language proficiency of a second language (in this case: English) * the stimulation of European and International Orientation

Internationalization

The Guido de Bres has its own clear policy for European and International Orientation (EIO) and this policy is an integral part of the school's entire curriculum. Various aspects of EIO are interwoven with the daily lessons in all TTO forms. This also includes contacts with people from other cultures with the emphasis being the use of the English language and the acquisition of knowledge of one's own culture and other cultures. This knowledge is then exchanged with other pupils (also abroad).

A TTO pupil participates in everything!

International contacts

Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) Europe European Educators’ Christian Association (EurECA) Colegio Alfa Omega , Dénia, Spain Christian International School of Prague, Czech Republic Emanuel Baptist Theological High School, Oradea, Romania Lingualink Academy, Dénia, Spain Several schools across Europe (eTwinning and/or email project)

9

TTO as a field of study At the end of the third year pupils need to make another important decision whether to continue with the TTO classes or not. Besides meeting the normal requirements specified in our school guide a pupil has to pass the FCE Exam at B2 level and the portfolio needs to be sufficient. In the upper levels the following TTO school program is offered: English, Religious Education, and Social Studies. This includes one extra hour of English to prepare the pupils for two important and difficult exams; the Certificate of Advanced English and the Certificate of Proficiency in English. The pupils’ final assignment in 6tto must also be in English. We are presently working on the following: - an internship in an international environment during which English is the target language - further exploration of the possibility of a Senior TTO Certificate

- a project with a school in Michigan(USA)

- further integration of pre-university education and TTO.

English Hello boys and girls! Welcome to the Wartburg College! Our names are Mrs. Dekker, Mrs. Quist and Mrs. Verweij and we teach English. English is a very interesting subject and of course it’s a very important language! In the first form of the TTO, we have 4 English lessons a week. We do lots of things during the English lessons, like listening, reading texts, writing, speaking, grammar, giving presentations, reading books and so on. The English lessons are interesting, but could also be a bit difficult for you in the beginning. But don’t worry, we will help you! We hope you are interested in the TTO class and that you will decide to join us next year!

Greetings, Mrs. Dekker Mrs. Quist Mrs. Verweij

A fun comic for you to read! Do you understand it?

Read Andy Capp’s comic and answer the question..

1. Andy Capp’s mother-in-law has a. prepared a three-course meal b. prepared a meal with canned food c. a painful wrist

English Hello Everyone! We are Mr. and Mrs. Ridout and we have come to Wartburg College from the U.S.A. to help teach English in TTO. When you take one of our classes you will end up learning a bit about the U.S.A. because that is where we grew up and lived until we moved to The Netherlands. However, now that we are living in The Netherlands we have been trying to learn as much as we can about Dutch customs and culture, so sometimes you will have a turn to share things about your country with us.

So far some of our favorite Dutch things are flower bouquets and the wonderful bike paths. We also really enjoy Dutch food such as kroketten and stroopwafels!

In our opinion, if you want to get good at English then TTO is the perfect choice for you. We have been surprised at how well TTO students can speak English after only one year! Of course the students have to work at focusing on English and at first that can be difficult, but it definitely pays off in the end. Plus, we and the other teachers do what we can to help you succeed.

We hope to see you next year!

Sincerely,

Mr. & Mrs. Ridout

History

Dear (future) TTO Students, History is one of the subjects that we teach in English. It is a huge challenge to teach and follow your classes in English. At the beginning History classes in English can be a little bit hard for some students. But our team of History teachers do all they can to make History accessible and understandable for you. After a couple of months we think you will experience that History in English is really a challenge and rewarding! In our classes we tell a lot of stories and we dig for traces from the past in the books that we use. We study subjects like Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece and Rome and the Medieval Period. In the second and third year of TTO we continue to follow our World and domestic history. We study the long period of transition from the Middle Ages to the beginning of our Modern Age so as to make your own world understandable to you. We read about exciting periods of renewal like the Renaissance and Reformation, the Scientific Revolution, the Enlightenment, the French Revolution and the Industrial Revolution. We end this course with our modern history. If you do have questions about the curriculum or about history itself, please feel free to send an email to one of the members of the team of history teachers. We look forward meeting you next year and hopefully you will experience that History is interesting as well as exciting! Best regards, Mrs. V.d. Pol Mr. Slager Mr. Spruyt

14

Geography

In the Geography lessons you will learn to look at the world around you. When

we look around us we will describe what we see and why we see it. For

example: why do we see cattle farming on a peat moor ground and arable

farming on a sea clay landscape? We will also look further away, for example

Africa. We will try to find solutions how to solve the famine or the HIV/Aids

problem over there.

Most of the time we will work in our books, but we will also work with other

materials. We will have a presentation about a poster that you have made

about a country in the Middle East. And we will do a project about Eastern

Europe.

Finally I would like to say that we discover the world with geography.

Kind regards,

M. Mulder

Mathematics

Mathematics in the English language Hello, my name is Mr. Baars. I teach the TTO-classes in the subject maths (the short word for mathematics). Maths is a very important subject it helps you think in a logical way and it gives you the structure to solve problems. When we start the in the First form, maths is most often a difficult subject. This because first of all, maths is a new subject at secondary school and the explanation in English makes it even more difficult to understand! However, the pupils learn the new mathematical words quite fast and the pupils at this moment are doing very well. So don’t become too nervous! I really enjoy teaching in the TTO-department, because it is a challenge for me to teach the pupils both maths and English. Hope to see you soon, if you join one of our TTO-classes! Mr. Baars

16

Religious Education

Hello boys and girls! Our names are Mr. Van den Berg and Mr. De Korte. We teach Religious Education (RE). RE is a very special subject. Why? Well the reason is that we explore the Bible. In English! That’s what we call challenging! On top of that we believe that the Bible is God’s message to us. In His Word the Lord God tells us Who He is and how we can be saved. What do we do in a lesson? First of all we explore the Bible story itself. Sometimes we look for more information and pictures on the Internet, for example about the tabernacle, the Christians in North Korea or mission work. After we have studied the Bible story, we have a conversation in English. We discuss what the Lord has to say to us personally. Or we practise how we would explain something to a non-believer. We hope this all sounds interesting to you. We look forward to meeting you! Mr. Van den Berg Mr. De Korte

17

Economics

If I told you that Economics is the most

interesting subject being taught at

Guido de Bres, you’d hardly believe me.

Economics… O, that must have

something to do with calculations,

figures and so on.

Must be bo – ring! Please don’t judge too quickly. Give me a chance and I’ll

explain to you why I think economics is more than worth the effort of studying

it.

I think Economics is this interesting because it concerns the everyday life of you

and the people around you. Behaviour is what Economics is all about. Day by

day, economists struggle with this one question: “why do people do the things

they do?” Of course a lot of digits, graphs, tables, etc. are used when studying

economics. But that’s just a way to picture reality, to handle the very complex

matters of society.

I hope to meet you in my TTO economics class next year. Because English is the

most common language in the economic world, it is really useful to know how

to express yourself in English.

Kind regards,

Mr. Verbeek

Physical Education

The subject Physical Education is better known as PE. What’s that? PE? PE has to do with sports, gymnastics and so on. PE is scheduled for 3 lessons every week. In autumn and spring PE is practised outside in the open air. We can use a couple of fields next to the school for our lessons. We are into a lot of sports such as softball, soccer and hockey. We also practise athletics: running, throwing the javelin, doing the long-jump, etc. In winter indoor sports are taught in our beautiful, multifunctional gymnasium. Volleyball and basketball are introduced and a lot of time is spent on gymnastics: swinging rings, trampoline, buck, etc. The language used in the PE-lessons isn’t very difficult for the pupils. This is due to the fact that most sports have their origin in Great Britain or the United States. Therefore a lot sports terms are already known, for instance: goal, penalty, corner, hit and so on. Curious about PE? We hope to see you in our TTO-class next year! P.E. teachers: Mr. J. van den Berge

Art

Hello boys and girls, My name is Mr. Dekker. I teach Art at the TTO-classes here at the Guido. I am sure that you will like these lessons a lot! Because art colours your school day! Once upon a time there was a famous artist who said: ““Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” Can you find out who said this? He meant that every child is creative in its own way. Every child likes to play with colours, shapes and lines. It is exciting to discover the things that you can make with pencils, crayons, ink and paint! I hope you will like being in the art room. We can create beautiful things together. And won’t it be fun to talk about the things that we have made in English? See you soon! Mr. Dekker

Biology

Hi, my name is Mr. Spreeuwenberg and I was born in New York, but I have lived the majority of my life in the Nederlands. At an age of 17, I moved to the woodlands this was an hour drive from Houston, Texas, (which is famous for the space center, NASA). Here I lived for two years before I moved back to the Nederlands. Now I am married for 3 years and we are expecting twins, when you read this they will hopefully have been born by God’s grace. If you choose to do TTO, then you can expect me to be your biology teacher. Your first year will be an introduction to the study of living things. We will look at the beauty of God’s creation in plants, animals and even “with the microscope” in tiny things, that you would not be able to see with the naked eye. Big or small, foreign or Dutch, life is being studied in my TTO biology class. I hope to see you there soon...

Deutsch

Hallo liebe Schülerinnen und Schüler, vielleicht wundert es euch, auf dieser Seite nicht die Englische Sprache zu lesen… Wir werden es euch erklären. Wenn ihr das erste spannende Schuljahr auf Guido de Brès hinter euch habt, kommt ihr in die zweite Klasse. Dann wartet noch ein sehr interessantes, tolles und schönes Schulfach auf euch…: Deutsch! Natürlich freuen wir uns sehr auf euch und ihr seid herzlich Willkommen in unserer Deutschstunde! Wir werden zusammen mit euch die Schönheit der deutschen Sprache entdecken und vieles lernen über Deutschland und die anderen deutschsprachigen Länder (wie Österreich und die Schweiz). In der Deutschstunde sprechen, hören, lesen und schreiben wir so viel wie möglich Deutsch, damit ihr die Sprache möglichst schneller versteht und benutzen könnt. Vielleicht kennt ihr sogar jetzt schon einige deutsche Wörter… Wer wir sind? In der zweiten Klasse unterrichten meistens Frau Simonse und Frau Holster dieses tolle Fach! Auf Wiedersehen!

How pupils experience TTO

Hi!

I’m doing TTO on the Guido de

Brès. I have chosen for TTO

because I like English very much.

The teachers help you to improve

your English vocabulary. First it

is a little scary to speak English

in lesson. But if you have been a

few weeks at school, you will see

that it is getting better. You

have to do a few exercises in

English. That is called a

‘portfolio’. You must fill in

exercises for portfolio each year.

After a few years you can look

back what you have written in the

first class. Sometimes you'll

discover errors in your portfolio,

but then you can see that you

have made progress with English.

I hope you will choose for TTO

and I hope to see you next year

in the first class of TTO!

Esther van den Heuvel, 1to1

Hi there!

I hope you will go to TTO next

year! It’s very nice to learn

English, and it is very important

in our society, later on, but too

now! Anywhere where you come,

see you English words. You must

understand that, because

otherwise you’re an outsider.

At the beginning of the year it is

a bit hard for you, because

almost of the lessons is in

English!

But after the autumn holiday, you

says: “It’s very easy and very

nice”.

At school you have at your first

year just a few subjects in

Dutch, music, the mentorlessons,

Dutch and French. But French is

French, I think it is more French

than Dutch. The rest is English:

Physical Education (PE), Religious

Education (RE), History,

Mathematics, Geography, Biology,

Art and English of course.

Anyway, as I say, it’s nice at TTO

and I hope to see you next year

at the Guido the Bres school!!

Blessings,

Nolke Tasma, 1to2.

Hi!

I have chosen for TTO, because I really like to

speak English. That is useful because in almost

every country English is spoken. The following

subjects are in English: Biology, physical education, ,

math, geography, religious education, history, and of

course English. It is also nice that you make trips,

for example to Canterbury or to London. I really

hope to meet you next year!!!

Wietse van Eijsden, 1to2

Hi there!

I´m Sanne, and I’m a TTO student in the second grade. I´ve

chosen for TTO because English is my favourite language and

because of the trip you make. Last year we went to Canterbury, it

was great! In the beginning it´s quite difficult, but after some

weeks, you English gets better and better. And when you really

don´t understand it, the teachers will explain it in Dutch.

I hope to see you soon!

Greetings, Sanne van der Aa

Canterbury Hi there! We’re going to tell you something about our trip to Canterbury. In 1TTO we went with both TTO classes, and Mrs Quist, Mr de Groot, and Mrs Looi to Canterbury. At 4’o clock we left school in our bus. We were all very excited, because our little journey began. We were headed to Calais, in France. Once we arrived there we went on a boat that would take us England. The little boat trip was really nice, because there was a little deck that you could stand on, and watch the view. It was really beautiful! Once we arrived at the coast of England, there were some superb rocks, a bit mountainous, but believe me, it was gorgeous! And the weather was surprisingly hot! I didn’t expect that of England, because you know England by its cloudiness and coldness… We went to Canterbury by bus, it was a nice trip. When we arrived at Canterbury, we first went to the Cathedral. It was a really, really big one! I hadn’t seen it before, it was very impressive. After that we had some free time, so we did our interviews. It was funny to speak to ‘’real’’ English people, but sometimes there were some tourists so… Well, in the afternoon we had lunch in the high school of Canterbury. When we were ready with eating they gave us a tour in the school. By the way, it was a very big one with much buildings! From 3 ‘till 5‘o clock we had free time again, that was nice, we went shopping, and there were a lot of cute shops! In the evening we went to the Cathedral again. Now there was a boy choir. They sang really nice, but a bit like girls, because it was so high… Then the day ended… We went home in the same way as we got to England, some thought it was a bit boring though… But after all, the day was really nice, and I wish I could do it again! Greetings, Naomi Nederlof and Hewan Tsegaye, 2TO1

25

London

Maybe you ask yourself: Why shall I do TTO? There are many reasons to think of, but one reason is: in the 2nd form, you’ll go to London. It’s going to be a very exciting, nice and interesting trip. We went to London with the 2TTO classes and some teachers, at the 11th of April 2012. We had to be at school at 3.30 AM, which is very early! There was a fantastic atmosphere in the bus. When we arrived at Calais, we took the train to pass the sea and then, we went to London and we arrived there earlier than we had expected. The weather was perfect. At first, we had a city walk along the most beautiful buildings of London. For example, we came across the Westminster Abbey, where Kate and William had married, and we came across Buckingham Palace. There we saw the Changing of the Guards. It was a very nice experience. We also came across London Eye. After that, we walked for a while and we arrived at an Underground Station. London has a huge Underground Railway System. It’s absolutely amazing. We went to a museum about the Second World War. There were many airplanes, canons and weapons. We also visited an exhibition about the ‘Holocaust’. (Holocaust means the abduction of the Jews in WWII. 6 million Jews were killed). It had a very big impact on us. Then, we went to Covent Garden. A nice shopping place in the centre of London. We had some spare time here. We ate something and we bought some souvenirs. There were many street artists and acrobats, but also lots of beggars. It was very funny there, as well. Then, we already had to go to the bus again. It had been a very amazing day full of nice and beautiful experiences. So, when you’ve never been in London, choose for TTO and you’ll go to London in the 2nd form. Laurence Fierens and Erik de Knegt, 3TO2

Prague Going to Prague is a really great experience that you just don’t want to miss.

First of all you are going by plane, which is a fantastic experience when you

have never flown before. Secondly, chosing for Prague is also chosing for

staying with an host family were you sleep and eat. From experience we know

it is really fun to be in a host family; the food is delicious(we got pizza twice

that week) and most importantly the people are very friendly and you are

feeling welcome immediately.

The kids in your host family are members of the Christian Internation School of

Prague with who you will do several projects; you will for example go with

them to school, have worship services, explore the city and ofcourse you will

have a lot of fun! Prague is a very big city with a lot of historical aspects and a

very pleasant centre with lots of fairs and a central square which contains 3

MacDonalds 2 KFC’s and 2 Starbucks! Furthermore, there are many fantastic

artists who perform on the streets what makes it even better!

Going to Prague is just an experience you will never forget!

Dénia In the third year of TTO you have the opportunity to stay abroad for a couple of days. We went to Dénia, which is a city in Spain. The group consisted of 21 students and 3 teachers . On Monday our airplane took off from Rotterdam airport heading to Alicante airport. Late in the evening we arrived at the Alfa&Omega college, which was our residence for the coming days. We did a lot of cool things during this week. We did a city-tour, swam in the Mediterranean sea, went to the city of Valencia and had interesting conversations with the local people of Dénia. Jorge, the founder of the Protestant Christian church and school, showed us the school, church and gardens. We also went to Lingualink academy, were we practiced, together with the Spanish students, for our FCE-exams. It was a great experience for us. Besides having a great time with the locals and enjoying the beautiful nature in Spain, we also had good conversations with each other and sang Christian songs. We learned much about ourselves and our faith. We totally recommend this trip to you. It was, like the Americans would say, a totally awesome week! With love, Steffanie den Hoedt and Ferike Janse (4TO)
