Educatis

What Educatis does

Educatis is a Dutch vereniging (association) for primary education, founded on 1 August 2005 and headquartered in Amersfoort, Utrecht. It operates a network of 11 Christian-reformatorisch (reformatory Christian) primary schools across Midden-Nederland, including locations in Utrecht, Soest, Driebruggen, Amstelveen, Houten, Nieuwer ter Aa, Bodegraven, Zeist, Hoevelaken, and Lelystad. The organization employs 31 staff and is governed by a Raad van Bestuur (Board of Directors) under Bestuurder Arjan van Hell (since May 2021), a Raad van Toezicht (Supervisory Board), and a Gemeenschappelijke Medezeggenschapsraad (GMR).

Educatis's core offering is centralized school governance and shared services for its affiliated schools, including professional bestuurder support, central HR/payroll and financial administration, housing policy guidance, and cross-school professional development. The association also operates a bovenschoolse HB-voorziening (cross-school gifted education program) in collaboration with Berséba Regio Midden, serving gifted students in groups 5-8 across Amersfoort and Veenendaal locations. A structured 9-step pathway enables additional schools with a reformatorisch grondslag to join the association. Educational content is delivered through each school's own classroom operations rather than a proprietary technology platform.

The business model is non-profit and government-funded. Educatis holds ANBI (Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling) status with the Dutch Tax Authority (RSIN 814469425, KvK 30204999) and receives primary funding from the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (Ministerie van Onderwijs, Cultuur en Wetenschap) and municipalities, supplemented by member school contributions. The association does not disclose tuition, parent contribution amounts, or detailed financials. Go-to-market is community-led, driven by ideological alignment and word-of-mouth within the Christian-reformatorisch community, with the website, newsletter, and direct outreach by the bestuurder as the principal marketing channels.
