CSO De Prinsenhof

What CSO De Prinsenhof does

CSO De Prinsenhof is a Christian special primary education (SBO) school located at Mr. van Hasseltlaan 57 in Apeldoorn, Netherlands, serving children aged 4 to 12 or 13 with special educational support needs. The school is operated by Stichting voor Christelijk Speciaal Onderwijs te Apeldoorn (CSO Apeldoorn), a non-profit foundation that also governs two other schools (De Zonnehoek and De Boog), with approximately 25 staff at De Prinsenhof and roughly 165 staff across the foundation. The school maintains small class sizes averaging 15 students and delivers a tailored educational environment built on standard Dutch pedagogical methodologies including Expliciete Directe Instructie (EDI), Jeelo project-based learning (12 societal projects), Kanjertraining, and Positive Behavior Support (PBS).

The school's product offering is anchored in core SBO instruction and supplemented by an integrated suite of support services: speech therapy delivered on-site by Logopediepraktijk Nicole Dekker, sensorimotor and psychomotor therapy from Intraverte, the KIES program for children in divorce situations provided by MEE Veluwe, special reading support, individualized learning plans (OPP) reviewed three times per year with parents, and a physical education program using the BeweegWijs playground method with a dedicated pleincoach. Communication with parents runs through the Parro app.

The business model is government-funded with no tuition charged to parents. Revenue arrives via Dutch public funding for SBO enrollment plus targeted subsidies from Jeugdeducatiefonds for school meals. Enrollment is not commercial — it is gated by a formal regulatory process: parents register through the Apeldoornse Multi Disciplinair Overleg (MDO) of the Samenwerkingsverband Passend Onderwijs Apeldoorn PO, which assesses needs and issues a Toelaatbaarheidsverklaring (admission declaration) before placement. The organization is privately held, non-profit, and operates without venture funding or public listing.
