• Applying theory to practice

Why Our Program is Unique

Guided Self-organized Learning

Team Academy’s learning method is based on the concept of guided, self-organized learning in teams. The teams will have a bi-annual evaluation in which they can thoroughly evaluate themselves, each other, and the team as a whole. As a team, the students make decisions on how best to maximize their educational experience. With the findings of the evaluation, they can then implement these findings into their learning contacts. These learning contracts will create a clear goal and action plan that the student can follow.

In these learning contracts, you write about which specific skills you plan to develop, the books you plan to read, companies you would like to visit, and speakers you would like to invite personally and as a team. This way, you can continue to achieve your goals and personally develop.

A bachelor that is designed to make you the best version of yourself.

Open Doors

Our Open Doors is your first introduction to the school, curriculum, staff, and our students.

It’s a different event than regular open days: it is personal and smaller than you’d expect.

It’s not a walk-in, as we start and end the event together; talk to every attendee; students and team members share their personal experiences, and we have a fun team activity!

Let’s find out if there is a match between you and Team Academy!

Student for a Day

We are organizing a day for new students in February. Do you want to be a TA student for a day? Join a workshop, a business session, and a 2-hours challenge from an actual business! Join us on February 2nd.

We Have an Event Every Month!

We prefer you to have a complete experience on location by talking to our students & staff in person, seeing the students’ projects & businesses, and exploring the school.

However, we organize both on-location and online Open Doors every Academic Year. You can also directly meet a student to ask all your questions and share experiences. Once you sign up, you’ll receive more information about the event.
