Trivium

What Trivium does

Stichting Trivium (operating as Trivium Onderwijs) is a non-profit Dutch educational foundation founded in 2004 through the merger of five Protestant-Christian primary school associations from the municipalities of West Maas en Waal, Neder-Betuwe, Wageningen, Renkum, and Overbetuwe. Headquartered in Zetten, Gelderland, the foundation operates 14 Protestant-Christian primary schools serving approximately 2,500 students across five South Gelderland municipalities, with a teaching and support workforce of more than 250 staff. The foundation's schools are individually branded (e.g., Gravin van Rechterenschool, Het Kompas, Johan Frisoschool, Julianaschool, Clara Fabriciusschool, Airborneschool, De Bijenkorf) and operate under a unified three-pillar philosophy of "waardevol" (valuable), "waardenvol" (values-based), and "kindgericht" (child-centered), with curriculum emphasis on Christian identity, individualized learning paths, digital literacy, sustainability, and global citizenship.

The organization's technology footprint is limited to educational content delivery rather than proprietary platforms: the Trivium Academie is an internal professional development portal offering training, e-learnings, networks, and podcasts to staff; the Trivium Vacatures platform supports recruitment across the network. Core technology is described as supporting digital literacy (ICT skills and mediawijsheid) integrated into the curriculum, with no proprietary IP, patents, AI capabilities, or external integrations documented. Trivium is GDPR-compliant under a formal privacy regulation overseen by an appointed Data Protection Officer and approved by the (G)MR governance body.

Trivium's business model is government-funded primary education under the Dutch OCW per-student lumpsum regime — tuition is free for parents. Revenue is derived from Ministry of OCW allocations scaled to enrollment, making the foundation structurally dependent on Dutch primary education funding policy and local demographics. The foundation is independently governed by a Raad van Toezicht (Supervisory Board) and College van Bestuur (Executive Board), with no parent company, external investors, or M&A activity in the public record. GTM is direct-to-consumer at the family level, with community-based enrollment via local school presence and active parent partnerships organized across societal, pedagogical, didactic, formal (MR), and informal communication channels.

• Stichting PCOU Willibrord: Dutch Protestant-Christian school foundation operating multiple primary and secondary schools in the Utrecht region. Directly comparable to Trivium as a faith-based, multi-school stichting funded through Dutch government per-student allocations, with similar governance structure (Raad van Toezicht).
