Mijn School is an alternative education program within a larger vocational college in the Netherlands. It aims to prevent students from dropping out by allowing more autonomy and a personalized learning approach. The vision emphasizes student autonomy, developing a positive connection between students and mentors, and taking a holistic approach to education as part of the student's life. Education is project-based to develop 21st century skills. Students create individual course plans and fill portfolios through work, internships and projects to earn their diploma. Guidance focuses on student strengths and goals rather than problems. The school aims to feel like a community where students can learn and develop at their own pace.
