History[edit]
The building at the Sint-Jansstraat was originally a department of the Heymans Lyceum. When the Heymans Lyceum merged with the Röling College in 1980, it offered havo and vwo. In the building at the Schoolstraat the Van Randwijck mavo was located.Following a merger of the Van Randwijck Mavo and the Thorbecke College, the school was renamed to H.N. Werkmancollege in 1986. Since a merger with the Röling College in August 2010, Werkman College has four departments. As of 2014 it consists of Dalton for sport talents and the first two years of vmbo, Stadslyceum (Centrum before 2014) for havo and VWO, Kluiverboom for the last 2 years of vmbo, and the ISK for immigrants who will move on to other schools after they have learned the language and have integrated.
