Marnix Academie affiliate program

The Marnix Academy in Utrecht is the biggest independent primary school teacher training institution (pabo) of the Netherlands. On this university of applied sciences 1.500 student are getting ready to teach their own class. We are a small institution, our students don't get lost in the crowd; we care for each individual student and attach great value to personal contact between staff and students. We also value interaction between people of different cultures and religions. We consider it an asset when students of different backgrounds meet and engage in dialogue. It prepares them for dealing with diversity among pupils, parents and colleagues. We believe that the teaching profession revolves around the key words of competence, commitment and enthusiasm. This is what makes teaching a profession that matters, and one to be proud of. Our education programme produces teachers who will never cease to inspire their pupils. This calls for somewhat ‘bold and strong-minded’ teachers. They must also have a heart for children and for education.
