The programme is aimed at students in Grades 9 and 10 who want to continue with their mother tongue instead of taking one of the other languages (Dutch, French, German, and Spanish) offered at the school as language acquisition and language and literature studies.
We offer this programme in close collaboration with external tutors. The students meet with the tutor once a weekduring one of their study periods which we then assign to the Mother Tongue course in aquiet space at school. The students will also have an additional three periods available to work on the programme. Moreover, this programme prepares students for the IB Diploma, specifically for the subject “Self-Taught Literature (Mother Tongue) SL”.
The Mother Tongue tutor works in in close partnership with the student, parents, and the Mother Tongue Coordinator of the school. The Mother Tongue tutor closely follows the IB MYP Literature curriculum.
