Stichting Consent

What Stichting Consent does

Stichting Consent is a Dutch non-profit foundation (Stichting) and the statutory governing body for all public primary schools in the municipalities of Enschede, Oldenzaal, Losser, and Dinkelland in the Twente region of the Netherlands. The organization operates approximately 30 schools — including regular primary education and special basic education (SBO) — serving roughly 6,600 students aged 4-12 with a workforce of 750-826 staff. Its portfolio spans multiple certified pedagogical approaches: Montessori, Dalton, Freinet, Jenaplan, International, flexible-hours (La Res), and personalized learning (OBS De Uitvinding), as well as an "alles-in-1" school (De Zuidsprong) integrating childcare, education, and family services in partnership with Partou and Alifa.

The operating technology stack is standard Dutch primary-education tooling: Parnassys.net for school administration, AFAS InSite as the staff intranet, Snappet as the adaptive learning platform, and a WordPress/DIVI website stack. There is no proprietary technology development; differentiation rests entirely on pedagogy, certificated approaches, and integrated community services. Support functions include a dedicated Steunpunt for inclusive/passend onderwijs, an NT2 expertise center for non-native-Dutch speakers, and a voorschool support point.

The business model is government-funded public education. Income derives principally from Dutch municipal education allocations tied to student enrollment, supplemented by modest parent contributions for optional activities. Distribution is direct: parents enroll children at schools within the four-municipality catchment. Governance is provided by a Raad van Toezicht (Supervisory Board) chaired by Erik Lievers, with executive leadership in the College van Bestuur. The organization has no parent company, no outside investors, and is not PE-backed or venture-funded.
