Auris Montaal

What Auris Montaal does

Auris Montaal is a Dutch special primary education school located at Populierlaan 11, Bergen op Zoom, serving children aged 3 to 13 with language development disorders (taalontwikkelingsstoornis, TOS) and deaf or hard-of-hearing students. The school is operated as a campus of Stichting Onderwijs Koninklijke Auris Groep (Koninklijke Auris Groep), a Dutch educational foundation managing multiple schools and ambulatory services. The educational offering is built around three individualized learning routes (Basis, Verdiepte, Intensieve) and integrates clinical speech therapy (logopedie) directly into the curriculum, with research, observation, diagnostics, oral language lessons, individual treatment, and parent guidance delivered alongside classroom instruction. Specialized technical components include Nederlands met Gebaren (NmG, Dutch with Sign Language) support in lower-grade classrooms and solo audiological equipment that amplifies the teacher's voice for hard-of-hearing students. Beyond on-campus education, the foundation extends the model through Onderwijsarrangementen (specialist language and reading support delivered to children who remain at regular primary schools), Naschoolse behandeling STAP (after-school treatment for ages 8-13 in Amersfoort and Bergen op Zoom), and Krachttraining (ambulant treatment for ages 6-23).

The school's go-to-market is government-funded and effectively direct-to-family: parents enroll via the centralized Auris registration system (aanmelden via auris.nl), and no parental tuition is charged for groups 1-8. The school self-funds ancillary activities (Sinterklaas gifts, celebrations, excursions, school trips, camps) from its institutional budget. Revenue is therefore derived primarily from Dutch government special-education funding (cluster 2/3 streams for hearing and language disorders), with the Onderwijsinspectie acting as the regulator — the foundation received a 'voldoende' (satisfactory) quality assessment in its most recent 2019 review. Customer acquisition is reputation-driven and amplified by the Auris parent brand and parent communication via the Parro app, monthly newsletters, and the school's website.

Reported student outcomes materially exceed inspectorate targets: in school year 2022-2023, 92% of mid-term graduates transitioned to regular education (vs 75% target), 100% of graduates completed according to their development perspective (vs 90%), and 96% of 2021-2022 graduates remained at the same level two years later (vs 90% sustainability target). 67% of group 8 graduates progressed to vmbo or higher (vs 60% target). The institution is organized around approximately 8 staff and 7 student groups, with broader foundation functions (training, quality assurance, compliance) centralized within the parent organization.
