RGO Regionale scholengemeenschap Goeree-Overflakkee

What RGO Regionale scholengemeenschap Goeree-Overflakkee does

RGO Regionale Scholengemeenschap Goeree-Overflakkee is a public Dutch secondary school (openbaar onderwijs) operating two campuses on Goeree-Overflakkee island in the province of South Holland, Netherlands. RGO College, located in Middelharnis, offers gymnasium, atheneum, havo, mavo, and ISK (Internationale Schakelklas) programs for approximately 1,000 students. RGO Beroepscampus, located in Sommelsdijk within a shared facility with CSG Prins Maurits, offers vmbo education with 8 professional profiles (BWI, D&P, PIE, Groen, HBR, M&T, E&O, Z&W) plus a unique equine class (Paardenklas). The institution collectively serves approximately 1,750 students with 270 staff members across both locations and is the only secondary education provider covering the regional catchment of Goeree-Overflakkee, Tholen, Hoeksche Waard, Schouwen-Duiveland, and Voorne Putten.

The school's core academic technology stack comprises third-party systems: Magister for student information, attendance, and grades; Zermelo for scheduling; and Kurzweil/Textaid for dyslexia support. Distinctive proprietary programs include Up2Havo (a six-year havo program with mavo exam in year 4, designed to address the 57% national havo study delay rate), a Techlab with 3D printing, laser cutting, and robotics for investigative/design-based learning, and Plusklas enrichment for primary school group 7-8 students. The institution holds European Ambassador School designation from the European Parliament with Erasmus+ accreditation for international exchanges.

As of January 1, 2026, RGO merged with SOPOGO (12 primary schools) into the new Stichting OOVI (Openbaar Onderwijs voor Iedereen) foundation, creating a continuous K-12 public education pathway. The school is funded primarily by the Dutch Ministry of Education (free education, textbooks, and facilities provided to all students), supplemented by a voluntary €50 per-student annual parent contribution and activity fees for excursions and work weeks. Revenue is therefore government-determined rather than market-driven, with no admission restrictions or lottery systems.
