Types of schools.

Choosing a primary school can be difficult. There are many different types of schools. For example, there are primary schools with a certain belief, extra activities, or extra support. What suits your child best?

Schools with a special teaching method

Some schools choose a special teaching method. These methods focus on learning to set priorities, teamwork, or working independently.

Each child learns in a way that works for them. Both special and public primary schools can choose to teach with a special method.

Broad school or integral child center (IKC)

At an integral child center, the daycare, after-school care, education, and welfare activities are all in one place. This way your child does not have to keep getting used to new buildings, children, and teachers.

A broad school is a partnership between the primary school and other child-focused organizations. Broad schools offer more than regular lessons. They also have after-school activities, like homework help, sports, or music lessons. A broad school focuses on the wide development of your child.

Special education

Some children need more help at school. For example, because they have a disability or are chronically ill. In some cases, your child can go to special education. These schools have special admission rules.

Private school

A private school is not paid for by the government. You pay the school fees yourself. Private schools are often smaller. Because the classes are smaller, your child gets much personal attention at a private school. The costs for a private primary school can be up to €20,000 per school year.
