Rembrandt College

What Rembrandt College does

Rembrandt College is a public secondary school (openbare school) located at Rembrandtlaan 2 in Veenendaal, Netherlands, and is the only publicly funded secondary school in its municipality. It offers Mavo, Havo and Vwo tracks — including bilingual education (Tweetalig Onderwijs, TTO) and a bridge/dakpanklassen system that allows students to defer final level choice — and serves prospective students from group 7/8 of regional primary schools. The school holds a Cultuurprofielschool accreditation (renewed for four years in 2024) that anchors an arts-and-culture identity built around ABC-onderwijs (Actualiteit, Burgerschap en Cultuur), the Flexrooster (Ondersteuningsflex / Werkflex / Plusflex), Onderzoek & Ontwerp, Robotics, Start-Up-Meesterwerk, RC Awards and an annual Muziektheaterproductie.

The operating platform combines Magister as the student information and parent-portal system, ItsLearning as the learning management platform, SharePoint for collaboration, and CupWeb for flex-schedule selection. Customized trajectories are offered for top sport and artistic talent, including a youth nurse from the GGD who monitors second-year students. Programs such as JUMP — an after-school offering under the national School en Omgeving initiative funded by a three-year subsidy — extend the school's footprint beyond the regular timetable into cultural, sport, social, cognitive and self-orientation activities.

The business model is a Dutch public-school bekostiging structure: the Rijksoverheid funds teacher salaries, operations and provides all textbooks free of charge, supplemented by a voluntary parent contribution (vrijwillige ouderbijdrage) for extracurricular activities and ancillary fees such as Cambridge English exams. Ownership rests with Stichting Openbaar Voorgezet Onderwijs Veenendaal, overseen by a Raad van Toezicht and led by rector/bestuurder Mirjam van Halem. The school is non-profit, has approximately 95 employees, and earns no equity, debt or venture funding.

Revenue model

1. Government School Funding (Bekostiging): As a public school (openbare school), Rembrandt College is primarily funded by the Dutch government (Rijksoverheid). The government provides funding for textbooks (all school books are provided free of charge to students), teacher salaries, and operational costs.
2. Voluntary Parent Contribution (Vrijwillige Ouderbijdrage): The school requests a voluntary financial contribution from parents/guardians per school year to fund extracurricular activities including introductor days, field trips, cultural activities, language trips, and exchanges. This contribution is voluntary but essential for funding activities not covered by government funding.
3. Cambridge English and TTO Programs: Revenue derived from exam fees for Cambridge English certificates and TTO (bilingual education) program, where at least half of lessons are taught in English for havo/vwo students.
