What Ronduit Onderwijs does

Ronduit Onderwijs is a Dutch public-benefit foundation (Stichting Ronduit Onderwijs, ANBI status, RSIN 821709586) headquartered at Havinghastraat 22 in Alkmaar. It operates 25-26 school locations spanning Alkmaar, Dijk en Waard, Den Helder, Hoorn, and Bakkum in North Holland, delivering primary education (PO), special primary education (SBO), special education (SO cluster 4), and secondary special education (VSO) to approximately 3,800-4,000 students aged 4-18. The foundation functions under the motto of qualitative public education open to all children regardless of background, with a portfolio of distinct school brands across pedagogical concepts including Jenapplan, Montessori, Dalton, and development-oriented approaches (e.g., Bello, De Cilinder, Liereland, SBO De Piramide, and the multi-site De Spinaker network).

The core service is regulated classroom education delivered through physical sites staffed by 570-600 educational professionals, with no proprietary technology platform — the organization's digital infrastructure centers on the third-party Social Schools parent-communication platform and standard school websites. Support services include the Ronduit Academie for staff professional development (€525 per staff member annually), a zij-instroomtraject lateral-entry teaching program in partnership with iPabo, internship pipelines through Pabo Inholland via the NHS partnership, and an extracurricular offering through partners such as SportX, Artiance, Stadskids Alkmaar, Playing for Success, Academie072, and Parlan for integrated youth care. Active capital programs include renovation/new-build of OBS Nicolaas Beets (agreement signed 12 March 2026), De Spinaker SO Regio, and OBS De Zes Wielen.

Revenue is generated entirely through Dutch government lumpsum funding tied to student enrollment (recurring, per-capita) under the public education framework — no tuition is charged to parents. The foundation has no private equity or venture capital ownership, is governed by a two-person College van Bestuur (Wytze Niezen and Marjon de Boer-van Groenigen) with a five-member Raad van Toezicht chaired by Marjolijn Dolfin, and operates under the Koersplan 2024-2027 as its strategic plan. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
