CBS DE WISSEL 

CBS De Wissel is one of the five primary schools of Perspectief. Perspectief provides Christian/Roman Catholic education for children age 4-12 in Vlissingen

CBS De Wissel has 475 pupils. The school welcomes everybody who agrees to our Christian identity. Basis rule is people respecting one another. We think from by that vision one can accomplish a lot.

CBS De Wissel cooperates with Stichting Arduin, (an organization for services to people with intellectual disabilities) in a so-called programme : "Inclusion" The programme provides children who are mentally of physically disabled, an opportunity to be educated in the school in their neighbourhood, together with children with and without disabilities. 

These children attend the regular classes and are accompanied by a special teacher the whole day.

We educate our students in what we call "Boeiend Onderwijs" which means providing them with an education whereby pupils are involved in taking action themselves, by letting them make mindmaps, graphics with behavior patterns, and soforth. We also have a mediatheque located in the school.

The social development, activities outside the school, good contact with parents, our modern learning method, supported by digital blackboards in every classroom, stands for meaning and quality of our school.

Our school is located in Vlissingen, a city in the southwestern Netherlands on the former island of Walcheren. With its strategic location between the Scheldt River and the North Sea, Flushing has been an important harbour for centuries. And it has been holding that position ever since. It was granted city rights in 1315. In the 17th century Flushing was a main harbour for ships of the Dutch East India Company (VOC). It is also known as the birthplace of Admiral Michiel de Ruyter.

Flushing is mainly noted for the wharves on the Scheldt where most of the ships of the Royal Netherlands Navy are built.

Vlissingen is also known because of its tourism.  While you take a stroll down the Boulevard, a beautiful promenade along the coastline, you can almost touch the ocean vessels sailing past. Ships from all over the world travel past Vlissingen harbor towards Antwerp. From the Boulevard or while you are sunbathing on one of Vlissingen's sand beaches (which are the only ones in The Netherlands facing the south) you can enjoy  a spectacular sight watching the pilot boats shoot out from the harbor at high speeds to drop off or pick up a pilot from these enormous ships
