Jan van Egmond Lyceum

What Jan van Egmond Lyceum does

Jan van Egmond Lyceum is a publicly funded secondary school (openbaar onderwijs) located in Purmerend, North Holland, Netherlands, operated under the Purmerendse Scholengroep (PSG) educational foundation. The school serves students aged approximately 12–18 across four educational tracks — gymnasium, atheneum, havo/vwo, and mavo/havo — preparing them for university, hogeschool (hbo), or mbo continuation. It employs 67 staff and serves a community-led intake of groep 8 graduates and their families from the Purmerend region via the Dutch municipal school choice system.

The school's core academic offering is structured around Dalton pedagogy and enriched through the JEL Academie, an interdisciplinary program with three blocks (Dalton, citizenship & current affairs, talent development) and modules including astronomy, forensic research, arts & culture, philosophy, and the Cambridge University Program. The DAS (Dalton, Art & Science) subject integrates pedagogy with art and science inquiry. The technology stack is standard Dutch educational infrastructure: Magister 6 for student information and grades, Zermelo for scheduling, Microsoft Office 365 for productivity, Qompas for career guidance, and the Mijn PSG parent/student portal for communication. Recent additions include the Startlab broad bridge class and ECO-School sustainability certification (the first in Purmerend).

The business model is entirely government-funded under the Dutch wet op het voortgezet onderwijs, with no tuition charged. Revenue per enrolled student flows through PSG's central allocation. Marketing and enrollment are community-led via annual Open House events, meeloopmiddagen (trial days), information evenings, and active social media channels (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn). Leadership rests with Rector Marjon de Jong.
