Cambium College

What Cambium College does

Cambium College is a Dutch publicly funded secondary school ('openbaar onderwijs') operating two locations in Zaltbommel, Netherlands. Locatie Buys Ballot delivers vmbo-tl, havo, and vwo (theoretical and pre-university tracks), while Locatie De Waard delivers vmbo-bb and vmbo-kb (basic and middle vocational tracks). Together the two campuses cover the full Dutch secondary spectrum from practical vocational learning to university preparation, plus bridging classes ('heterogene brugklassen'), flexible lessons ('Flexlessen'), talent development, additional support, a mediatheek, and STEM offerings including Technasium/Techmakers and the Junior TechLab sub-brand.

The school runs on standard Dutch educational technology rather than proprietary platforms. Its stack includes M365 Portaal, Somtoday ELO for student administration, Zermelo Rooster for scheduling, Aura Mediatheek for the library, Safe Exam Browser for examinations, ClaroRead for accessibility, Qompas Burgerschap for civic education, and UniFLOW for print management. There is no proprietary technology product, no AI/ML component, and no mobile app.

Commercially, Cambium College does not fit a conventional revenue model. It is government-funded based on student enrollment, with no tuition fees described. Its go-to-market is direct enrollment of Groep 7/8 students through the school website, open days ('opendagen'), and 'Kom langs' campus visits, supported by a website, Instagram/Facebook/LinkedIn presence, and an annual Cambium Magazine. The institution is led by rector-bestuurder Liesbeth Augustijn and has a teacher-training partnership with TRION Opleidingsschool. No funding rounds, M&A activity, headcount, or revenue figures are disclosed.
