The Carolus Clusius College is a christian secondary school which is open to pupils from all denominations. There are about 1300 pupils who attend either VMBO (preparatory vocatinal education), HAVO (senior general secondary education) or VWO (grammar school). Most pupils are from the city of Zwolle. Because the school is located within walking distance from the railway station many students from surrouding area attend the school. The Carolus Clusius College is a worldschool. The school is part of the international ELOS (Europe as a learning environment in schools) network and it is in progress of becoming a Unesco school as well. Pupils get enhanced education in the foreign languages and take part in international olympiads, conferences, contests, exchanges, study trips and so on. The school wants to prepare its pupils for a future in which they will increasingly be faced with an international learning and working environment. In the lower forms the pupils take worldsubjects such as 'world of technology', 'world of the theatre' and 'world of media' on top of the usual curriculum. They also get enhanced English. In the upper forms pupils can choose to follow an international course such as InterScience or InterHealth on top of their chosen stream. There is a possibility to prepare for international certificates such as The Cambridge Certificates of English and certificates from Delf Scolaire for French and Goethe Institute for German. Throughout their schoolcareer our pupils make contacts with fellow pupils from Europe and the rest of the world.
