Our teachers and students want to develop into world citizens, who think without borders and who are firmly grounded in their own culture. Central to this is a focus on society and the other.  

We want to make our students so powerful that they can change and improve the world they live in. By working together, growing and stimulating each other. Because we need new answers to all challenges, far and near. And we will only find them if we continuously share and learn to apply each other's insights, skills and techniques: Let's change. You. Us. The world.
