With its glazed facades and ample balconies and terraces this school breathes the ambience of Duiker's Open Air School much admired by Van Tijen. It consists of a freestanding gymnasium in the garden and a classroom block with handiwork room in the basement, two levels of three classrooms each and two open-air classrooms on the roof. The glazed facades of classrooms in the west and south can be opened up completely.
