Learning pathways

Three vmbo
learning pathways

If you choose the vmbo at SintLucas, you will be opting for an education consisting of general subjects with, in addition, a lot of attention to creative subjects.

Learning pathways

Starting in the 2026–2027 school year, we will offer two tracks within the VMBO program under the Media, Design & ICT (MVI) profile: the vocational track and the mixed track. After completing the general foundation years in grades 1 and 2, we will determine which of these two tracks is the best fit for you, and you will follow that track in grades 3 and 4. The content of the MVI profile differs for each track.

Framework vocational course

This pathway is a practical programme, entirely focused on design and media. The vocational programme is more extensive than in the combined pathway. Besides Dutch, English, maths, physics and social studies, students gain further experience in video, internet, image and sound, animation, theatre technology, interactive design (e.g. websites and apps), graphic software, desktop publishing, sign, design, typography, page layout and photography. This learning route is a nice stepping stone to the MBO courses in media and design within SintLucas. Further learning at another MBO institution is of course also possible.

Mixed apprenticeship

For those who have little difficulty in learning and already want to acquire some vocational knowledge, the mixed pathway is a good choice. Here, learning alternates with doing. The programme consists of subjects such as Dutch, English, mathematics, physics, drawing, social studies, economics or history. In addition, art history and MVI (Media, Design and ICT) are on the curriculum. In MVI, pupils discover the possibilities of the Internet, video, photography, animation, images and sound. They also learn to design and work with various computer programmes. The mixed pathway links up well with MBO courses in design and media. You can also move on to another type of intermediate vocational programme.
