Willemsschool

How we work

OBS Willemsschool is located on Zilvermeeuwstraat in Monster and has been the public primary school of the village since it was founded in 1842. The school wants to be a reflection of society and is there for all children, regardless of background. There is an atmosphere in which people listen to each other and there is an eye for the individual qualities and differences between pupils.

OBS Willemsschool is the public primary school of Monster and works from the principle that every child has the right to the best possible education. The school sees itself as a reflection of society and is open to children of all backgrounds, beliefs and nationalities. Important in this is that pupils and team members really listen to each other and help and support each other where needed, with attention for each child's own qualities and differences. In the classroom the school works with the Explicit Direct Instruction model, in which subject matter is offered in a structured way and there is room for extra explanation or depth per child. The school also applies Positive Behavior Support, aimed at predictable and positive conduct in the classroom and on the playground. Education at the Willemsschool does not stay within the walls of the classroom: pupils regularly go outside, all the way to the beach and the dunes, to gain experiences that make the subject matter concrete and recognisable. The school also has an in-school library and childcare provider Simba in the same building.
