LEV Scholengroep West-Nederland

What LEV Scholengroep West-Nederland does

LEV Scholengroep West-Nederland (LEV-WN) is a private Dutch educational foundation operating 26 Christian primary schools and Integraal Kind Centra (IKC, Integrated Child Centers) across five provinces: North Holland, South Holland, Utrecht, North Brabant, and Zeeland. Its core product is basisonderwijs (primary education for ages 4-12) delivered with the Bible as foundation under the motto "Geloof in ontwikkeling!" (Faith in development). Schools use varied pedagogical methods including Da Vinci, Wetenswaardig, Levend Water, and thematic approaches, and are progressively converting to the IKC model that bundles education with on-site childcare (kinderopvang). Supporting offerings include the LEV-WN Academie for staff professional development and quarterly LEV Magazine for organizational communication.

Revenue is structurally tied to Dutch government primary-education funding (bekostiging) based on student enrollment, supplemented by regulated childcare tariffs at IKC locations operated in partnership with providers such as Kibeo and De Maneblussertjes. There is no commercial pricing model; LEV-WN functions as a publicly funded foundation with mission-aligned distribution rather than a market-priced service. Go-to-market is community-led: parents enroll directly at local schools, engage via the GMR (Gemeenschappelijke Medezeggenschapsraad) and per-school WIOS identity committees, and teachers are recruited through dedicated careers pages and the LEV-WN Academie.

Governance rests with a College van Bestuur chaired by Henk Eilander (appointed March 2022), overseen by a Raad van Toezicht. Shared services — HR, quality, internal supervision, and identity support — operate centrally across schools, and the strategic plan "Expeditieplan 2024-2028" frames the current mission. Recent capital deployment has concentrated on IKC conversions, building renovations, and childcare partnerships rather than on greenfield school openings or acquisitions.
