SBO de Piramide

What SBO de Piramide does

SBO de Piramide is a single-site Dutch special primary education school (speciaal basisonderwijs) located at Biezeveld 14, Bladel, North Brabant, Netherlands. Operating under the Onderwijsstichting KempenKind educational foundation, the school serves children aged 4 to 13 whose educational needs cannot be adequately met in regular primary schools, applying the Wet Passend Onderwijs philosophy of "regular if possible, special if necessary." Admission is referral-led: students are assessed by the Commission for Guidance (CvB) and require a toelaatbaarheidsverklaring (TLV) issued by the regional Samenwerkingsverband before an intake interview and year-round enrollment.

The school delivers tailored instruction through specialized staff including orthopedagogues, behavioral specialists, educationalists, and speech therapists, with smaller groups capped at 15 children in specialized offerings. Core methodology programs include BeweegWijs (color-coded recess zones for differentiated social play with trained junior coaches), De Vreedzame School (social competence and democratic citizenship with student mediators), Gezonde School (health and wellbeing certification held since 2015 across four themes: Bewegen & Sport, Welbevinden, Voeding, Relaties & Seksualiteit), and the Brabants Verkeersveiligheidslabel traffic safety program (achieved 2007). The school building also houses the KempenKind Centrum Passend Onderwijs, which provides regional support services including specialist referrals to other primary schools across the Kempen region.

The school is publicly funded under the Dutch Primary Education Act (Wet op het primair onderwijs) based on student enrollment, with no tuition fees charged to parents; the only fee-bearing offering is the Click Sport Piramide after-school sports program at €2.50 per lesson. Technology infrastructure comprises the ParnasSys student administration system with parent portal (Ouderportaal), the Cito monitoring system for student progress tracking, and the Social Schools communication platform for parent-school messaging. The school is led by Director André van den Heijkant, with parental engagement channeled through the Ouderraad (parent council) and Medezeggenschapsraad (participation council). No venture capital, private equity, or public listing is indicated; the institution operates as a non-profit entity within the KempenKind foundation structure.

Core offering

SBO de Piramide is a single-site school for special primary education (speciaal basisonderwijs) serving children aged 4-13 in the Kempen region of the Netherlands whose educational needs cannot be adequately met in regular primary schools.

Product overview

SBO de Piramide is a single-location school for special primary education (speciaal basisonderwijs), not a platform product company. The school operates as a unified educational institution serving children aged 4–13 with specialized support needs. Its core offering is the SBO education program itself, supplemented by a digital parental portal (ParnasSys Ouderportaal), an after-school sports program (Click Sport Piramide), a recess methodology (BeweegWijs), a certified Healthy School program (Gezonde School), a social competence program (De Vreedzame School), and a traffic safety label (Brabants Verkeersveiligheidslabel). These add-on programs operate within and are supported by the school's core educational framework, with the ParnasSys Ouderportaal providing the primary digital interface for parental engagement.
