What SG Huizermaat does

SG Huizermaat is a publicly funded secondary school (middelbare school) located in Huizen, North Holland, Netherlands, operating under the GSF (Gooise Scholengroep) foundation. Established in 1971, the school serves approximately 1,000+ students aged 12-18 across multiple educational tracks including mavo, havo, vwo+, Gymnasium, Technasium, and the TalentHZM gifted program. The institution offers a differentiated portfolio that allows students to combine Gymnasium and Technasium on the vwo+ track without additional school hours, supported by a dual-mentor system where each class has two mentors who are also subject teachers, meeting students 4-5 times per week.

The school's core technology stack consists of standard educational platforms including Chromebooks, SomToday (student information system), Zermelo (scheduling), Google Classroom, and Lyceo LOB (career orientation). Technasium facilities include modern equipment such as laser cutters and 3D printers for project-based learning with real organizations. The school maintains international partnerships through the Erasmus+ 'Creating Futures' consortium with schools in Denmark, Germany, Spain, and Italy.

As a public school (openbaar onderwijs), SG Huizermaat is funded by the Dutch government and does not charge tuition. Revenue derives from government allocation through the GSF school association, with students purchasing books and learning materials separately. Enrollment is managed through a structured digital process (March 25-31 annually) with priority categories for siblings, staff children, and local residents in the Gooi and Vechtstreek region. The school has maintained 'Excellente School' status from the Dutch Education Inspectorate across all three levels (vwo, havo, mavo) for multiple consecutive review periods, with 2026 graduation rates of 97% (vwo), 96% (havo), and 98% (mavo).
