If you want to apply for one of these schools on behalf of your child, please contact the school directly.
There are also schools that have specific conditions regarding enrolment. These schools select pupils on the basis of their religion or beliefs. They do participate in the admission policy, but clearly state that additional conditions need to be met. These schools are GBS Veerkracht (Reformed), Rosj Pina (Jewish), Crescendo and De Morgenster (evangelical).
