RSG Magister Alvinus

What RSG Magister Alvinus does

RSG Magister Alvinus is a Dutch public secondary school (voortgezet onderwijs) located at Almastraat 5 in Sneek, Friesland, Netherlands, founded in 1971 and operating with a staff of approximately 190. The school delivers a comprehensive multi-track secondary education program spanning VMBO (basis/kader), Mavo, HAVO, Atheneum (including bilingual stream), and Gymnasium, supplemented by specialized programs including the BegaafdheidsProfielSchool (gifted students), SportAccent class, A-klas, Ondersteuningsklas (support), and an ISK (Internationale Schakelklas) for non-Dutch-speaking newcomers. The school serves students roughly 12-18 years old (leerjaar 1-6) and their parents across the Súdwest-Fryslân region. Starting the 2026-2027 school year, RSG Magister Alvinus is implementing an organizational restructuring that introduces a MAG-start two-year bridge period and departmental teams per educational track.

The technology stack is composed entirely of standard third-party Dutch educational SaaS platforms — Magister for student information management (grades, attendance, parent meetings), Zermelo for scheduling, AFAS for finance/invoicing, AuraLibrary for the mediatheek, and Leerlinq for enrollment. No proprietary technology, AI, or data platforms are developed or operated in-house. The business model is government-funded: as a Dutch public school under the Wet op het voortgezet onderwijs, RSG Magister Alvinus receives its revenue via OCW per-student allocations and does not charge tuition; nominal fees may apply for specific materials and activities. Distribution is local and direct — students enroll from the surrounding primary schools (Group 8) via open days, virtual tours, and the Leerlinq platform into a single campus. The school has no private shareholders, no external investors, and no commercial customer base.

Strategically, RSG Magister Alvinus is entering a period of significant organizational change. An administrative merger (bestuurlijke fusie) with CVO Zuid-West Fryslân is scheduled for January 1, 2027, bringing both schools under a new joint foundation while preserving their distinct brands and educational offerings. A new rector, Reinald Gerbenzon, takes office August 1, 2026, succeeding Alinka Spijkers-de Vos who transitions to a board (bestuurder) role on the new foundation. The 2026-2027 school year also introduces a stricter smartphone locker policy across the entire school day.
