Dorpsschool Vremde

What Dorpsschool Vremde does

Dorpsschool Vremde is a Catholic primary school (basisschool) located at Dorpsplaats 5, 2531 Vremde, Belgium, serving the village of Vremde and the surrounding Boechout municipality in Flanders. The school provides both kleuteronderwijs (kindergarten for children from age 2.5) and lager onderwijs (primary education through 6th grade), with a published enrollment capacity of 59 spots for the 2026-2027 school year across kindergarten intake (20 free places for birth years 2021-2024) and grades 1-6 (49 places).

The institution operates as a VZW (Vereniging Zonder Winstoogmerk, association without profit purpose) under KOBA Voorkempen vzw, a Catholic school association that unites 9 school boards in the diocese of Antwerp and provides shared financial, architectural, and administrative support. The school is led by Director Gudrun Vanderbeck and supported by a named staff of kindergarten teachers, primary school teachers, a care coordinator (zorgcoördinator), support staff (ondersteuners), physical education teachers, ICT coordinator, prevention advisor, and secretariat personnel, alongside a care team (zorgteam) and student council (leerlingenraad). Distinctive programs include the 'Iedereen mee!' inclusion initiative for vulnerable families and partnerships with external organizations including CLB-Mortsel for student guidance, De Wigwam Boechout for after-school childcare, and Maanwandelaars for inclusive employment support.

The business model is government-funded education: the school is primarily financed through operating subsidies from the Flemish Community, supplemented by nominal parental contributions for specific activities and materials. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and the school is not a commercial enterprise. Go-to-market is community-led, relying on direct enrollment at the school, the dorpsschool.be website, a Facebook page, and word-of-mouth referrals within the village. There is no proprietary technology product; the school manages operations through standard administrative systems and the ParentCom website platform.
