Professionalism with a difference
Cibap – the cutting-edge vocational school where talented students are challenged to excel in their chosen professions. Our vocationally qualified, highly skilled teachers encourage our students to use their hearts, heads and hands and evolve in a challenging and practice-oriented learning environment. We aim to inspire our students to communicate, think and act independently and become self-reliant. Our ancillary staff support our students and teachers in the learning and teaching process. Cibap actively seeks links with local businesses and the community as a whole, in the conviction that a professional network has added benefits for the tuition we provide. Cibap occupies an independent, strongly proactive and therefore pivotal position in that network.
Our values: preserved in the Christian tradition
We believe that a sense of purpose in life is important, and the starting point for this is talking to each other. We are inspired by four values and we live by these values with respect for one another and for the community. Our values spring from Cibap’s Christian tradition, applied in the contemporary context:
- Passion, expressed as enthusiasm for your specialist field. A keen desire to learn – with each other and from each other, and in doing so to excel – brings out the best in everyone.
- Creativity, which can be seen and felt in the way our students and teachers on all courses express themselves; creativity that is tangible in and around the school. Our relationships with local clients, and the discussions that ensue, inspire everyone involved to improve their own standards and achieve surprising results.
- Craftsmanship, which is characterised by contemporary skills; these skills develop and respond to trends in our specialist fields and to advances in quality requirements in the business environment. Our teachers’ didactic expertise enables them to transfer the course content to the students in an appealing way, in line with their own particular teaching style.
- Commitment, which is anchored in respect for the individual, the local environment and society as a whole. We support our students’ and staff’s development wherever possible, based on an understanding and recognition of each person’s individual personality.
