Stichting Montessorischolen Monton

What Stichting Montessorischolen Monton does

Stichting Montessorischolen Monton is a Dutch non-profit foundation (stichting) that operates a network of Montessori primary schools in Midden-Nederland (Central Netherlands) with additional presence in South Holland. The foundation serves approximately 2,350 students across nine to twelve schools located in cities including Utrecht, Amersfoort, Nieuwegein, Maarssen, Loenersloot, Maassluis, Nieuwerkerk a/d IJssel, Rhenen, Alphen aan Den Rijn, and Den Haag. Education is delivered under the principles of the Nederlandse Montessori Vereniging, emphasizing child-centered learning, mixed-age classrooms, self-directed learning materials, and prepared environments. The foundation's headquarters and staff office (stafkantoor) is located at Weerdsingel W.Z. 22, Utrecht, where financial, personnel, payroll, ICT, and HR-PR functions are handled internally.

The foundation's core service is Montessori primary education for children ages 4-12, governed by a College van Bestuur led by Voorzitter Jeroen Gommers and overseen by a Raad van Toezicht chaired by Leon Broere. Operational technology is centered on three platforms: the Social Schools communication platform for parent engagement, the WMK ('Werken met Kwaliteitskaarten') quality monitoring instrument for continuous improvement, and the internally developed Leerplein Monton professional development platform that delivers training, webinars, and workshops across four themes (observation, school development, talent and leadership, and support capability). Schools collaborate on knowledge exchange, joint training, and mutual staffing support.

The revenue model is government-funded primary education under the Wet op het primair onderwijs (Dutch Primary Education Act), administered by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science. No private tuition is charged; funding flows per enrolled student. The foundation also participates in the Erasmus+ international exchange program, with the 2026 'Grenzeloos groen' project involving job-shadowing with schools in Northern Germany and Southern Denmark on sustainability and nature-inclusive education. The 2023-2027 Strategisch Beleidsplan frames organizational priorities around education quality, organization and ICT, personnel policy, financial management, and housing.
