Our staff Creating a positive and stimulating learning environment

Our staff members are all passionate about God and about working with children. Together, we provide high-quality education based on our unique educational concept. The management and staff are fully committed to creating a positive and stimulating learning environment where students feel valued and safe.

If you are (thinking of) registering your child at our school, we will schedule an introductory meeting with one of our principals - Jennifer Bakker or Gerine van 't Hof – who will give you a tour of the school and answer any questions you may have.

For practical questions about your registration, please contact our Administration Office. Abi-Janne Boevé, Annemarie Wijns and Sara van Eck handle matters of administration and registration.

The School Board Working together for growth and development

Jennifer Bakker has been the principal of EBS Online since 2012. Jennifer is married and has four children. She has a strong desire to help raise the next generation in an environment where they are shown the value of living with God and where His Word is central. Her dream is for students and teachers to share that same passion and vision with others, allowing the Gospel to be shared and spread. She greatly values music as a ‘connector’: it connects us with each other and with God - in gratitude and worship.

Gerine van 't Hof has been deputy principal since 2016. Gerine is married and has 3 children. It is important to her that EBS Online is a safe place where every child enjoys going, feels seen, and experiences growth and development.

Before- and after-school care, preschool, and daycareAt Junia Christian Childcare

As an Evangelical Child Center, we not only offer primary education but also before- and after-school facilities. At Junia Christian Childcare you can find before- and after-school care (VSO), preschool (ages 2.5-4), and daycare (ages 0-4) facilities. They are located in a wing of the school building.

CollaborationWith other schools

To ensure a smooth transition to another school, we maintain contact with various schools in special primary education (SO/SBO), secondary education (VO), and other (Evangelical) primary schools. This allows us to optimally support students who are transferring to secondary school, students who are moving, or those who require additional or different learning support.

Support from community organizationsSocial and personal development of children

As a school, we play a role in the social and personal development of children.

Within the SPIL center, there is a joint care consultation between the school, childcare, the Municipal Health Service (GGD), WIJeindhoven (contact: Ms. M. Allers), and Lumens community consultation (contact: Mrs. P. Verhagen).

Furthermore, where and when necessary, we maintain close contact with organizations such as Youth Care (Jeugdzorg), Youth and Family Centers (Centrum voor Jeugd & Gezin), Sports, Culture & Recreation organizations, the Municipality of Eindhoven, neighborhood associations, and the Police. This allows us to provide children and their parents with the necessary support in the areas of care, health, and well-being.

The Participation Council of EBS Online consists of three parents/guardians and three school staff members. They have the right to consent and advise on matters related to school policy. Their meetings are public and open to all parents. The school board is present at these meetings in an advisory capacity.
