'Our mission is to equip you with the practical tools and knowledge you need, to thrive in every aspect of your life.'

Let's start!

Have you ever wondered why they don’t teach this in school? So have we! That’s why we’re introducing Fontys School of Life: a pioneering initiative within Fontys designed to equip students with practical life skills that go beyond books and classrooms.

Imagine managing your finances with confidence, having a positive outlook on life, and mastering the skills needed to ensure both physical and mental well-being. The School of Life will help you become a confident, capable, and resilient individual, ready for anything life throws your way!

School of what?

We aim to use life skills education to encourage conscious future choices and promote personal growth, not only within the curriculum but also beyond it, with the involvement of both staff and students. In doing so, we focus on developing essential life skills alongside academic knowledge.

The School of Life is a team established by Fontys to share our experiences and teach you about life skills in a fun and meaningful way. Because life’s too short to stress, we inject a hearty dose of humor into life skills education. You’ll discover that while life skills are serious business, learning them can be a laugh-out-loud adventure!
