Secondary education
A well-designed secondary school inspires and gives positive energy.
A well-designed secondary school inspires and gives positive energy. Pupils, teachers and educational support staff feel at home there and get the best out of themselves and each other. Our designers contribute to this. For example, by taking into account the different compartments in their design. After all, a practical subject such as visual arts requires a different structure than that of a theoretical subject such as mathematics. What is always central in every school: an auditorium where everyone feels welcome.

Shaping the secondary education environment
Since 2017, Astrid Ebbers has been designing learning environments for primary and secondary education at Gispen. Inspired by nature, the environment and the vision of the school, flexible, sustainable and future-oriented designs are created. With multifunctional furniture, circular choices and an eye for well-being, Astrid creates inspiring learning environments together with schools.
A secondary school is so much more than a building.
LEARN HOW AND WHERE YOU WANT
Pupils, teachers and educational support staff come together to learn, work, meet and grow. Classical education is therefore increasingly making way for flexible education: learning how and where you want. Traditional teaching methods are supplemented with other learning and development methods. Independent, in groups and hybrid; with the laptop in class. In addition to instructional lessons, students are given plenty of room for inquiry-based and project-driven learning. And teachers switch smoothly between teaching and coaching. A lot of attention is paid to health, for example with a health and safety responsible design, the offer in the canteen and by encouraging exercise.
Flexible education requires a flexible physical education environment.
FLEXIBILITY IN SECONDARY EDUCATION
In order to learn and teach well, students and teachers need diversity in spaces. Spaces that match what they want to do there. Where they feel fit – physically and mentally – where they are inspired and energized. As an educational designer, we therefore take into account the various subjects and (learning) activities in our designs, such as classroom instruction, working together in small and large groups, working individually and working under supervision. In our school facilities you will find the classroom bus setup, project-based group setups, theater setup and a lab setup. This way you get a tailor-made educational environment that suits your educational vision, students and teachers.

The teacher who simply shares knowledge with passively listening students is a thing of the past. Many educational institutions are glad these times are over, and so are we.
