Basisschool De Wegwijzer

What Basisschool De Wegwijzer does

Basisschool De Wegwijzer is a publicly funded Dutch primary school located in 't Maaskantje, Den Dungen (municipality of Sint-Michielsgestel), serving approximately 255 pupils across 11 groups under a continuous full-day schedule (8:30–14:15). The school is operated by Stichting Cadans Primair, a foundation that manages twelve primary schools in the municipality, and delivers standard primary education for ages 4–12 with a documented emphasis on total child development — combining language, arithmetic, talent development, sports/movement, and emotional wellbeing. Its product surface is augmented by a structured Talentontwikkeling program organized around themed learning islands (music/drama, movement/thinking, language) and a Gezonde School program certified by GGD Hart voor Brabant for sport and movement (2019) and wellbeing (2020).

The school's technology stack is industry-standard Dutch primary-education infrastructure: ParnasSys as the student information and assessment-tracking system, Parro and Ouderportaal for parent communication (linked to ParnasSys), Social Schools as the underlying website platform, and Cito national testing for groups 3–8. There is no proprietary technology and no AI/ML capability disclosed. Operational partnerships form a layered support ecosystem — SWV PO De Meierij for special-needs education, GGD Hart voor Brabant for youth healthcare, Plaza Cultura for cultural education, Kinderopvang Blij and BSO De Bolderburen for the Kindcentrum (children's center) wraparound model, Pabo Fontys for teacher training, and Farent plus Centrum voor Jeugd en Gezin for social work and family support.

Commercially, De Wegwijzer is a not-for-profit unit with no traditional revenue stream; it is funded primarily through Dutch government education budgets via Cadans Primair, with negligible voluntary parent contributions of €32.50 per child per year. Its director is Astrid Kwaspen, and the school operates within a localized catchment area with a structured enrollment funnel from age 0–3 interest lists through age-4 start dates. As a single-school unit within a twelve-school foundation, the entity functions as a stable, mature operating asset rather than a growth-stage business.
