1. Saba Comprehensive School
“Every student can learn, just not on the same day, or in the same way.”
Saba Comprehensive School
We are firm believers in the above quote. Not all students are academic students. Vocational skills are greatly needed and necessary for the development of any society. PrO students learn life skills and about their interests. With the most suitable education this can lead to a good job.

About us
PraktijkOnderwijs (PrO) is an educational program that includes some basic academic subjects and a lot more practical or hands-on subjects.
PrO caters to each student’s talents and interests. This program allows each student to work in his/her area of interest at his/her level and pace.
The student is not forced to follow and/or keep up with the academic or vocational curriculum.
