Stichting Samenwerkende Basisscholen Alkemade

What Stichting Samenwerkende Basisscholen Alkemade does

Stichting Samenwerkende Basisscholen Alkemade (SSBA) is a Dutch non-profit foundation (Stichting) that governs five primary schools in the Kaag en Braassem West region of the Netherlands: RKBS de Klimboom, RKBS de Kinderbrug, RKBS de Roelevaer, RKBS de Kiem, and OBS Elckerlyc. The first four are Catholic (RKBS) schools and Elckerlyc is a public (openbare) school; together they offer diverse teaching methods, group configurations, and educational philosophies within a shared governance and quality framework. SSBA functions primarily as an administrative and oversight body — monitoring, connecting, stimulating, facilitating, and organizing educational services — rather than as a central operating school. The foundation is overseen by a Raad van Toezicht (Supervisory Board) and managed through a Bestuurskantoor (executive office) located in Oude Wetering.

The business model is non-commercial and revenue is derived almost entirely from Dutch public education funding — municipal and national government allocations tied to student enrollment, with no tuition charged to parents. SSBA serves children aged approximately 4-12 in its schools, with an expanded addressable footprint of ~1,100 children aged 0-12 via the ongoing Kineo initiative. Technology is light and operational: Microsoft Office 365 for staff communication, Microsoft Forms for joint enrollment, Parnassys for parent portals, and Google Analytics for website measurement. There is no proprietary technology, no disclosed AI/ML capability, and no commercial product surface.

Strategically, SSBA is in the middle of two structural transitions. First, it is co-developing the Kineo Beweeg- en Kindcentrum — an integrated sports hall, swimming pool, and child development center at the Sportpad site in Roelofarendsveen — in partnership with Gemeente Kaag en Braassem, Sportbedrijf Kaag en Braassem, and Kindkracht 0/12, with phased construction from May 2024 through to expected occupation in January 2027. Second, SSBA is rebranding to 'Kindpartners' by end of 2026, signaling broader consolidation with childcare and sports partners into a single integrated entity for children aged 0-12 in the region.
