Stichting School met de Bijbel Den Haag

What Stichting School met de Bijbel Den Haag does

Stichting School met de Bijbel is a Dutch private foundation (stichting) that has operated Christian primary and preschool education in The Hague since 1883. It runs two primary schools — the Protestant-Christian Koningin Beatrixschool (founded 1883 in Schilderswijk, approximately 400 students) and the evangelical Tamarschool (founded 2009 in Escamp/Morgenstond, grown to over 400 students and made independent with its own BRIN number on 1 August 2024) — together with two affiliated preschools, De Peuterhoek (since 1975) and Tamarinde (since 2010). The foundation serves roughly 800 children aged 2-12 from diverse cultural backgrounds whose parents respect the Christian character of the schools, offering Biblical education alongside the standard Dutch primary curriculum, digital literacy, music, citizenship, and VVE-language support including dedicated Taalklassen for non-Dutch speaking children.

The foundation's operating technology stack is modest and administrative: ParnasSys for student-data management and standard digital learning tools for classroom instruction; no proprietary technology, AI capabilities, or APIs are developed or commercialized. The business model is government funding (bekostiging) under the Dutch 'bijzonder onderwijs' framework, a stream the foundation has drawn on since 1920; no tuition is charged, and the foundation explicitly states there is no financial barrier to enrollment. Supplementary support comes from Stichting Vrienden van de School met de Bijbel (since 1992), local churches, and parents. Governance is a two-tier model comprising a four-person College van Bestuur and a three-person unpaid Raad van Toezicht, with day-to-day operations run by a small Directieteam including school directors, a Head of Business Operations, an Educational Quality Advisor, and a Board Secretary.

Go-to-market is community-led: enrollment occurs via free, non-binding open days and school tours in two The Hague neighborhoods, supplemented by a central website, school-level microsites, and Facebook/Instagram/LinkedIn pages. Distribution is direct to families, with no resellers or intermediaries. The foundation holds no patents, trademarks, or external awards; its principal partnerships are the SPPOH regional consortium for student-support coordination and an external Data Protection Officer via Privacy op School. Strategic direction is set by the 2023-2027 Beleidsplan and an evolving governance document suite, and the foundation is currently recruiting a permanent director for the newly-independent Tamarschool/Tamarinde campus.
