Wereldwijs/ De Bosbessen Primary School is a school for children of 4-12 years old. It has a new approach towards primary school teaching. The education takes place mainly in nature and outside the school. This means it is education through experience and projects. For example, they go to a shop to learn how to calculate. Another example is that they go to a farm without a roof and are teached about how to build the roof and how a life with animals is like, and entrepreneurship in general. On their way to the farm they see a pedicure, where they get a guided tour as well, so the children really get educated in real life, within society. An example of a different approach is that a child has to learn how to write first and then learn how to read. This could reduce the number of dyslectic children with consequently great problems at school. Moreover, parents are very much involved into school; they educate the children 4 days for 2 hours, coached by a teacher. The child is going to learn where its interests are.
Evaluation and selfreflection by the children are very important. Challenges are offered to the children, so that they are actively involved in their own learning process and thus also directed towards their own development. Wereldwijs/Calvin is a school for highly gifted children 4-7 years.
