Scholen Van Oranje

What Scholen Van Oranje does

Scholen van Oranje, legally Stichting Een School met de Bijbel, is a Dutch Christian primary education foundation operating four schools — cbs Beatrix, cbs Juliana, cbs Oranje-Nassau, and cbs Johan Friso — in the Dubbeldam and Stadspolders neighborhoods of Dordrecht, Netherlands. The organization serves approximately 1,250 students aged 4-12 with 125 staff, including 19 personnel as listed in firmographic input. It was originally founded on 27 January 1902 as Vereniging 'Een School met de Bijbel', converted from association to foundation by unanimous member vote on 15 October 2024, and formally completed the conversion on 22 May 2025 under a new two-tier governance model with a five-member Raad van Toezicht and a College van Bestuur led by voorzitter Jaap van der Put.

The educational offering centers on Christian-values-based primary education covering Dutch core objectives, with adaptive teaching using three-level differentiation, integrated ICT instruction (in which computers are fully embedded as a learning medium, positioning the foundation as a regional leader per source), social-emotional and citizenship development, anti-bullying protocols, and inclusion support under the Passend Onderwijs framework. The technology footprint is modest and operational rather than transformative: ParnasSys for student and administrative records and the Parro closed, AVG-compliant parent communication app. Strategic partnerships span the Samen Opleiden Consortium for collaborative teacher training, Inholland Hogeschool PABO Dordrecht for intern pipelines, and a network of local institutions including youth care, police, municipality, and welfare organizations.

Revenue is generated exclusively through Dutch government primary education funding (lumpsum and weight-based subsidies tied to student enrollment), with no tuition charged to families and employment terms governed by the CAO PO collective labor agreement. Customer acquisition is community-led and direct-to-consumer, relying on neighborhood reputation, local church networks, individual school websites, the Scholenopdekaart.nl comparison platform, and direct school visits. No pricing model, no commercial sales motion, and no external capital are involved; the foundation has no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no investors.
