Stichting PCPO Capelle-Krimpen

What Stichting PCPO Capelle-Krimpen does

Stichting PCPO Capelle-Krimpen is a non-profit Dutch foundation (stichting) that provides Protestant Christian primary education and special basic education (sbo) across two adjacent municipalities in South Holland, the Netherlands. The foundation operates 11 school locations under 9 school brands — pcb Het Baken, pcsb De Balans, pcb De Fontein, pcb De Ontmoeting, pcb De Groen van Prinsterer, pcb De Horizon (two locations), pcb Het Kompas, pcb De Sjalomschool, and pcb De Wegwijzer — serving children of primary school age (approximately 4-12) in classes of around 20 students. The foundation's customer base is local families in Capelle aan den IJssel and Krimpen aan den IJssel seeking Christian values-based education; the foundation describes its premise as the belief that every child contains a talent to be developed.

The organization runs a standardized pedagogical approach through the Expliciete Directe Instructie (EDI) methodology, deployed across all 9 schools and emphasizing clear instruction, active processing, and structured practice. Specialized programming includes Nieuwkomersonderwijs (newcomer education with NT-2 Dutch language instruction) at Het Baken in classes of 10-15 students. Staff development is supported through expertisegroepen (expert groups), career coaching, and an internal helpdeskleerkracht (help desk teacher) initiative. The foundation is governed by a six-member Raad van Toezicht (Supervisory Board) chaired by Matthijs Veenema, with operational management by a College van Bestuur; Jan Lindemulder currently serves as interim bestuurder, and Jaco van Erk is appointed as incoming Voorzitter College van Bestuur effective 24 August 2026.

The revenue model is that of a publicly funded Dutch primary education institution: tuition for core educational services is not commercially priced, with income derived from Dutch government bekostiging (per-student funding) supplemented by limited parent contributions and ancillary services such as after-school care delivered via a partnership with Royal Kids Home. No revenue figures are publicly disclosed. The organization holds no patents, trademarks, or proprietary technology assets; its competitive position rests on its Christian identity, geographic coverage across the two municipalities, and its structured EDI methodology combined with internal teacher expertise networks.
