What BLICK op onderwijs | boeiend leren voor nu en de toekomst! does

Stichting BLICK op onderwijs is a Dutch non-profit educational foundation ('Boeiend Leren In Capelle en Krimpen aan den IJssel') operating a network of 10 publicly-funded schools across two adjacent municipalities near Rotterdam: 8 openbare basisscholen (PO), one special primary school (SBO de Bouwsteen), and one secondary school (EYE College offering praktijkonderwijs, vmbo basis & kader, and mavo). The foundation is governed by a two-person College van Bestuur (drs. Esmée Smit and drs. Dennis van Zundert RA) and a five-member Raad van Toezicht appointed by the municipal councils, with both gemeenten holding a statutory role in safeguarding the openbaar character of the schools.

The organization operates on a Microsoft-based digital environment — SharePoint for internal communication and document management, Office 365 for staff productivity, and AFAS InSite/Pocket for HR and payroll self-service — supplemented by the Social Schools platform for parent-school communication. Its educational service portfolio extends beyond standard curriculum to include BLICK Expertise (an in-house pedagogical-didactic support centre for passend onderwijs), Plusklassen (enrichment classes for cognitively gifted students), a Flexteam pool for flexible staffing, the BLICK-ON onboarding system, and structured internship pipelines with Hogeschool Rotterdam and Hogeschool Inholland.

Commercially, BLICK is a public-sector operator: it does not sell educational services to families. All operating revenue is received as government funding from DUO under the PO/SBO frameworks and the VO framework, allocated based on enrolled student counts at each school. Revenue is therefore entirely a function of student enrollment in the two-municipality catchment, with no commercial pricing, no third-party tuition, and no ancillary revenue streams disclosed. The foundation's strategic direction is set out in its Strategisch Beleidsplan 2025-2028 under the vision 'Boeiend leren voor nu en de toekomst!'.
