"A Great Choice for Our Family"

We chose De Kastanje for its emphasis on respect and responsible behavior, and we've been impressed with the way these values are woven into everyday life at school. The teachers are supportive and the facilities are excellent - my child loves the playground and the Biezenhoeve.

"A Mixed Bag"

We've had a mixed experience at De Kastanje. On the one hand, the staff are friendly and the facilities are great. On the other hand, we've had some issues with communication and our child's progress has been variable. Overall, we're happy with the school, but there's room for improvement.
