Think, Act, Explore
Our enthusiastic team is most happy to welcome new children to our growing and joyful school. We consider it our mission to make your child feel safe and appreciated allowing him or her to grow confident and empathetic. The perceptions of pupils towards their surroundings is at the center of our education. Not only considering their own inner world but also that of their peers. Our education is aimed at exploring the world as the pupils already know it but even more as they have yet to discover. The world around them as the place where they laugh and cry and where they learn through trial and error. We instil in our pupils an attitude of using common sense, but we also inspire them to be curious and adventurous. So: think, act and explore!
De Springstok has forged a strong connection with the surrounding neighbourhood often seeking interaction with the community of which our school is part of. Reaching out to the community is part of the fabric of our school, resulting in participating in community projects, undertaking fieldtrips, welcoming neighbouring artists and public service members such as firemen into our classes. We also invite parents to become members of our community extending interaction with the school beyond dropping off and picking up children. Think, act and explore with us!
