Optimal education
Welcome to De Schakel, a public primary school in the Jutphaas-Wijkersloot district! De Schakel is a school where optimal education is provided to all children aged 4 to 13.
The teachers of group 1 and 2 ensure a cheerful atmosphere and a positive social environment in which children feel safe. Regardless of their native language, they come to play and explore.
English speaking, reading and writing is taught from group 1 to prepare the children optimally for the subject of English in secondary education.
We encourage parental involvement as much as possible by giving at home activities that are in line with the subject matters taught in the classroom.
Meet and greet!
You are always welcome in our school for a tour. Would you like to schedule a visit?
Make an obligation-free appointment with our principal.
We look forward to seeing you at De Schakel!
We recommend that you register your child from the age of 2, in case of a waiting list, you have a better chance of placement at our school when your child turns 4 years old.
If you would like to register your child, you can request a registration form after the tour and submit it at our school.
Choose ‘Maak kennis’ and fill in the form for an introduction. You can complete the form with your name, email address, telephone number, your child’s name and date of birth. If you have any questions or comments, please complete the column below.
All our staff can assist you in English. Feel free to contact us by phone.
After you have completed and submitted the application form, your child’s teacher will contact you by phone two months prior to your child’s 4th birthday to schedule an introductory meeting. During the introductory meeting we would like to get to know you and your child better. Your child can explore the classroom with you and his/her new teacher. You will also receive additional information such as the annual calendar and login details for our digital communication platform, Isy.
We will schedule a settling-in timetable where your child can visit school either in the morning or afternoon to get comfortable and familiarize themselves with their new class and school environment. After this settling-in period, your child will be accustomed to a full day of school. You are welcome to enter the school and assist your child with their coat, bag and finding their seat in class.
