Stedelijk Gymnasium ‘s-Hertogenbosch

What Stedelijk Gymnasium ‘s-Hertogenbosch does

Stedelijk Gymnasium 's-Hertogenbosch (SGDB) is a public pre-university secondary school (gymnasium) located at Mercatorplein 2 in 's-Hertogenbosch, North Brabant, Netherlands. The institution traces its lineage to a Latin School first mentioned in 1274 and was formally reconstituted as a gymnasium in 1848. It currently enrolls approximately 750-800 students aged 11-18 across six year levels (klas 1-6) and is staffed by roughly 61 employees. The school delivers a classical gymnasium curriculum combining mandatory Latin and Greek with modern sciences, mathematics, and humanities, and supplements core instruction with the Wetenschapsorientatie (WSO) academic-skills programme established in 2017 and the Excelleren op het SGDB high-achiever track (including Cambridge English, DELF, Goethe, Olympiades, and the Honours Programme Gymnasia).

The underlying technology stack is conventional Dutch education SaaS rather than proprietary: Magister for student information and parent communication, a digital book-lending system with state tracking, SchoolWiki as a searchable digital school guide, AURA Online for library management, and the Talent platform for Loopbaanorientatie (LOB) career-orientation dossiers. There is no public API or mobile app, and the technology serves administrative efficiency rather than differentiation. SGDB is governed as part of the Onderwijsstichting Zelfstandige Gymnasia (OSZG) foundation, which oversees 42 independent gymnasia and has set its Koersplan 2025-2030 as the strategic framework. The school participates in the SHZG network and operates within the DOVO centralized enrollment system for the Den Bosch/Vught region.

Revenue is principally generated through Dutch government per-student educational funding, supplemented by voluntary parent contributions (ouderbijdrage) collected annually for extracurricular activities, and minor income from the Expeditio taster programme. Textbooks are provided free of charge and the school runs a book fund; fines for damaged or lost books are deducted from the voluntary contribution. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the DOVO centralized enrollment window (March 25-31) for group 7/8 pupils, with secondary intake via lateral-entry (zij-instroom) admissions and Open Day/Expeditio recruitment events. Customer segments are students and their parents/guardians within the North Brabant catchment.
