Books and learning materials

Ordering books
To ensure that our students have the right books and learning materials, we work together with the company VanDijk. They know exactly which books are used within the various courses of Stedelijk College Eindhoven. You do not have to order books yourself, we do this for our students.

During the summer holidays, VanDijk sends a message which books have been ordered to the students and their parent(s)/carer(s).
In the following week, it is still possible to order additional materials (such as dictionaries, a geodesic or notebooks) from them. The book pack ordered for your child will be delivered to your home.

Other teaching materials
Learning resources that are used in class, such as atlases and teaching materials made by teachers themselves, are provided and paid for by the school.

Costs
The costs of books and teaching aids are borne by the school, insofar as they belong to the (chosen) subject package. An exception to this are the books and learning materials that are not reimbursed by the government, such as reading books. You must pay for these materials yourself. Learning materials for home use, such as atlases and dictionaries, are also at your expense.

Interim change of book package
If your child changes courses during the school year or changes one or more subjects in their subject package, you must follow the existing procedure to avoid extra costs for new books. Your child’s team coach can tell you how this procedure works.

Use of books
All school books must be covered. Please put a label on the front with the student’s name, class and the relevant subject. No writing is allowed in the books.
In case of damage or loss, the damage amount will be invoiced afterwards through VanDijk.

Media library
There is at least one copy of all textbooks in the library. If a pupil has forgotten to bring a book, he or she can borrow it from the library for the relevant lesson.
