So we try to change old things, but changing things at school is a very tough and slow process. At the age of 10, after primary school, children can enter our school. Before applying for our school children and their parents are invited for a short visit. In summer children with an excellent primary school report are admitted to our school. There are no admission tests or fees whatsoever.
Every class has a head of class who has to do a lot of administrative work.
The head of class also is a contact person for the students. In every class there is a form captain. The form captains are important contact persons for the pupils. Three of them are in the school council, which co-ordinates the interests of pupils, teachers and parents. That is very important for the co-operative atmosphere we have at our school.
