OBS Atlantis

What OBS Atlantis does

OBS Atlantis (Basisschool Atlantis) is a public primary school (openbare basisschool) founded in 2008 and located at Oceaan 4 in the Vathorst district of Amersfoort, Netherlands. The school serves approximately 4-12 year-old children of families residing in Vathorst and surrounding Amersfoort neighborhoods, delivering core instruction in Dutch language, math, spelling, and reading alongside specialized programs including the 7 Gewoonten van Stephen Covey (7 Habits) pedagogical framework, the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), Wereldburgerschapsonderwijs (World Citizenship Education), and English instruction in every grade. The school holds Lighthouse School status under the 7 Habits program, an externally validated designation.

The school's core technology footprint is narrow and operationally focused rather than product-oriented: it uses the Parro app as a secure, privacy-safe parent communication channel for sharing photos, videos, and news about student, group, and school activities, and delivers the IPC thematic curriculum through licensed partner IPC-Nederland. The school functions as a training institution (opleidingsschool) for teaching assistants and teachers, integrating educator development into its operations. No proprietary software, APIs, or AI systems are disclosed.

OBS Atlantis operates as a non-commercial entity within the Dutch public education system. It generates no tuition revenue; instead, it is funded through government allocation to the Meerkring foundation (Stichting voor Primair Onderwijs Amersfoort), the governing body that manages administrative functions, branding, and infrastructure. Customer acquisition is handled directly through open information evenings, an annual open morning, a printed brochure, the school guide, and word-of-mouth from current parents, with enrollment processed through the school's own admission procedure (aanmeldprocedure). The organization has 26 employees and no disclosed expansion, acquisition, or investment activity.
