OBS de Catamaran

Horen, zien en leren.

Op de Catamaran worden kinderen letterlijk en figuurlijk gezien en gehoord. Zij gebruiken hun eigen stem in gesprek met ons en in samenspraak met andere kinderen. We helpen kinderen sociaal sterk te worden. Zo leren wij kinderen vertrouwen te hebben in zichzelf en verantwoordelijkheid te dragen. Wij kijken niet alleen naar het resultaat, maar ook naar de weg er naar toe, zodat kinderen leren terugkijken op hun eigen handelen en werk. Fouten maken mag, want juist daar leren we allemaal van!

De school biedt een stevige basis van rust, structuur en houvast waarin leren niet alleen doelgericht, maar ook helder is. Met ons enthousiaste, ervaren en gemotiveerde team - in samenspraak met ouders - zijn wij verantwoordelijk voor de positieve ontwikkeling van elk kind en diens talent.

Wij zijn de Catamaran!

'Mijn kinderen gaan met plezier naar school. De sfeer op de Catamaran is gezellig. Het is een open school en dat zie je direct terug als je het gebouw binnenkomt.'

Samen het beste uit jezelf halen.

Wij zijn de Catamaran: Welkom aan boord.

Door alle beschikbare onderwijsmethodes zou je soms vergeten dat er ook nog zoiets bestaat als gewoon goed onderwijs . Met gemotiveerde en verantwoordelijke leerkrachten die doen wat ze zeggen en zeggen wat ze doen; passend en uitdagend onderwijs bieden met een sterk cultureel bewustzijn en een passend opleidingsprofiel.

Ons team van leerkrachten staat voor onderzoekend en betekenisvol leren. We helpen kinderen vanuit hun eigen nieuwsgierigheid te ontdekken wat ze willen, wat ze kunnen en waar ze goed in zijn. We zien jouw kind, laten goed tot ons doordringen waar het behoefte aan heeft en laten het tot optimale ontwikkeling komen.

Als volwassenen zijn wij er vooral om ze inspiratie en kaders te geven; een fijne kindertijd, met waar nodig een zetje in de juiste richting. Wij reiken de basis aan, waarna ze de ruimte krijgen om zelf te benoemen hoe die kennis relevant kan worden voor hun leven. Zo kunnen ze eigenaarschap nemen over het geleerde en coachen we ze tot de eigen ontdekking van de wereld. Voor je kind voelt het als één grote ontdekkingsreis.

We streven er naar om kennis en vaardigheden altijd te koppelen aan een concrete situatie. Leren wat een breuk is wordt bijvoorbeeld een stuk beter te begrijpen als de bakker uit de straat een warm stuk brood voor je afbreekt. Daarom laten we wanneer dat kan de buitenwereld binnenkomen, gaan we met Juf op Straat op pad in de wijk in en duiken we geregeld in de schooltuinen. 

We weten ook dat de kinderen het fantastisch vinden als we thema’s door de hele school heen behandelen. Zijn we met de hele school bezig met een thema zoals eten & drinken, kunst of natuur, dan zie je dat overal terug.

Een wereld vol wetenschap, natuur en techniek

We zien dat kinderen proefondervindelijk het beste leren, en daarom zit onze mini-maatschappij vol wetenschap, natuur en techniek. En omdat we vinden dat ons aanbod altijd veelzijdig moet zijn hebben we vakleerkrachten en ondersteunen de opvang-krachten van UniKidz de leraren waar ze maar kunnen met relevante activiteiten. Heeft je kind behoefte aan meer uitdaging, dan hebben we het leerlab, met een leerkracht die zich volledig richt op het samen met de kinderen onderzoeken van de wereld om ons heen.

Een dorp in de stad

Ouders vertellen ons vaak dat ze de Catamaran zien als een dorpje in de stad. Hoewel we een grootstedelijke school zijn, vinden we het fijn dat we met meerdere locaties altijd bij je in de buurt zitten en kleinschaligheid kunnen behouden.

Met drie locaties in Amsterdam West die worden bestuurd door één Catamaran-bemanning kunnen we bijvoorbeeld in geval van ziekte de leerkrachten laten rouleren en beschikken we altijd over een divers les-aanbod.

Onze leerlingen zitten dan wel verspreid over drie locaties, toch voelen wij ons één. Zo organiseren wij sportdagen en feesten locatie-overkoepelend en bouwen we met de gezamenlijke leerlingenraad continu verder aan de Catamaran.

Alles onder één dak

Op de meeste scholen vliegen de kinderen na schooltijd uit naar één van de buitenschoolse activiteiten. Door onze samenwerking met UniKidz is dat verleden tijd en is jouw kind van nul tot dertien jaar en van 08.00 tot 18.30 in goede handen.

Gezonde levensstijl

In de klas en tijdens de opvang is veel aandacht voor bewustzijn rondom het eigen lichaam en een gezonde levensstijl. In de eerste plaats omdat leerlingen daar op latere leeftijd veel baat van ondervinden, en niet in de laatste plaats omdat gezonde voeding en beweging zorgen voor betere leerprestaties.

Een vreedzame school

Een school is eigenlijk een mini-versie van de maatschappij. Iedereen is uniek en verschillend. Dat zie je in de diversiteit in onze klassen en ook in de manier waarop we kinderen de wereld laten ontdekken.

Kinderen leren bij ons hoe ze met elkaar kunnen communiceren, op een manier dat ieder kind gehoord wordt en op zijn eigen niveau zijn zegje kan doen en gewaardeerd wordt in de klas.

Gedeelde verantwoordelijkheid en eigenaarschap, gezamenlijkheid en samenwerken op elk niveau zorgen ervoor dat onze school een fijne en veilige omgeving blijft.

Actieve inspraak

Op de Catamaran organiseren onderwijs en ouders zich samen rondom jouw kind. Daarom is het belangrijk dat we oor voor elkaar hebben.  

Onze actieve leerlingenraad zorgt er voor dat alle kinderbelangen behartigd worden. We moedigen ook alle ouders aan om actief te worden en goede ideeën aan te dragen.

Meer informatie over onze visie en ons pedagogisch en didactisch beleid kunt u lezen in onze schoolgids, die u kunt downloaden via de pagina Praktische Zaken, Schooldocumenten.

Education & childcare.

• Child Benefits
• International Schools
• Saturday schools
• Higher education

Your child recently came to the Netherlands, but does not or barely speak any Dutch (yet). Despite this your child must attend school.

That is not a problem: in Rotterdam, a few classes at ‘regular’ schools are equipped to take in children which have not been in the Netherlands for long, like your child. These classes are called International Transition Classes (Internationale Schakelklassen, ISK) in secondary education. In primary education these transition classes are called First Intake Classes (Eerste Opvang). Your child will follow an intensive language programme in the ISK class. Once your child speaks and writes Dutch sufficiently, he or she will be transferred to a ‘regular’ class in primary or secondary education.

Primary education (ages 5 to 12)

Rotterdam has 13 primary schools that offer a First Intake transition class. You can register your child with the school closest to you. They will enter your child’s details and check whether they have an opening.

Secondary education

Secondary education in the Netherlands differentiates between various levels of education. Your child will be tested to establish the level at which he or she can start. Employees of Koers-VO will test your child, in collaboration with the secondary education system in Rotterdam. The test will include an intelligence- and a match test. You will then be issued with a recommendation for your child. After testing, you will be referred to one of the five schools with an International Transition Class. You can go to this website  for more information on secondary education, regional training centres (ROCs) and to register your child. Or contact them directly by calling the following number: 010-4842576

This website (only in Dutch) provide an overview of primary  and  secondary  schools in Rotterdam.

Young people who are 18+

For young people between the ages of 18 and 23 who don’t have a Dutch diploma, we would like to know what their level of education is and what they will potentially study. You can provide us with this information by sending an email to [email protected] . If you need help you can contact the Youth Support Desk, by calling 010-2676788.

Our pupils learn to collaborate with pupils at our partner schools around the world, sometimes via Skype, Teams, email or even live on the classroom smartboards. At our school we strive for innovative and high quality education. Within our education we use the 21st Century Skills, such as: critical thinking, a problem solving ability, creativity, computational thinking and collaborative learning. With the advice of ‘Ons Onderwijs2032’ to the Secretary of State, Sander Dekker of the Ministry of OC&W, a vision has been formed about future education.

English, entrepreneurship, economics, shared leadership and media literacy will be important goals to the current generation, that will enter the labor market in about twenty years. These skills will even become more important goals to the pupils who might choose a theoretical further education and for the more practically talented children.

Best 10 International Schools in Rotterdam - The Hague

International education in rotterdam - the hague.

⇩ Scroll directly to the list of top 10 best schools in Rotterdam - The Hague ⇩

Small but mighty, the Netherlands has long been a country that people from all corners of the globe call home.

Two of its cities in particular - Rotterdam and The Hague - have impressive international communities despite their small sizes. The former is the biggest seaport in Europe, and the latter is the home to most of the Netherland’s foreign embassies as well as the United Nations International Court of Justice.

For this reason, The Hague and nearby Rotterdam have an adequate choice of international schools .

In Rotterdam, there are a number of international schools within a short distance of Rotterdam Centraal station. A short trip away in The Hague, there is a cluster of schools in the Scheveningen area and along the Meijendel nature reserve.

There are two types of international schools in Rotterdam and The Hague; Dutch international schools and private international schools. The former are government subsidised and often attached to public schools. They are designed to be a go-between for students transitioning into the Dutch school system from abroad or vice versa.

Private international schools are exactly the same as what you’ll find in other countries. They have high fees, excellent facilities, a more diverse student body and they teach an international curriculum, sometimes affiliated with a particular country. Almost all international schools in Rotterdam - The Hague teach through English.

However, not all children are permitted to attend international schools in the Netherlands. Dutch children must have studied abroad in the past, or be planning on studying abroad for a significant amount of time within the next few years. Non-Dutch children can attend only if they are planning on staying in the Netherlands for a limited time.

For this reason, the ratio of native to non-native students in Rotterdam and The Hague’s international schools is often lower than in other cities and countries.

Another aspect of international school life that’s different in Rotterdam and The Hague is the school bus. Private transport to and from the school campus is not at all common in the Netherlands’ schools, whether private or not. This is because public transport throughout the country is, by anyone’s standards, excellent.

In the unlikely event that there is no easy way to get to school via bus or tram, don’t worry. The tradition of riding bicycles anywhere and everywhere is alive and well in Rotterdam and The Hague!

Below, we have compiled the top 10 international schools in Rotterdam - The Hague according to our users. However, there are another 10 schools to choose from in the city.
