Within the broad curriculum, young people can experiment in the real world to their heart's content, while being encouraged to approach that world in an inquisitive and involved way. Each week, young people meet enthusiastic subject-matter experts from a wide variety of sectors who share a glimpse into their professional fields. Our education doesn't teach young people ‘for later’, it teaches them what ‘later' will be like – today. Stichting IMC Weekendschool offers educational programmes that nourish young people's natural motivation to explore the world. These lessons taught by enthusiastic subject-matter experts help young people develop the motivation to succeed in life. Through long-term programmes aimed at general development and personal growth, young people receive weekly instruction – over a period of several years – from professionals (volunteers) who have a real passion for their work. Stichting IMC Weekendschool also manages programmes in cooperation with schools that face severe to very severe challenges in helping their pupils attain national standards. Since 1998 Stichting IMC Weekendschool has offered supplementary educational programmes for young people from the age of 10 who live in the most marginalized communities in the Netherlands.
