What is a parent declaration?
A parent declaration is a declaration in which parents show interest in a new school. It is not a definitive enrolment, but a way to make visible that there is a need for Nova Academy Zoetermeer.
Is a parent declaration the same as enrolment?
No. A parent declaration is not enrolment. You remain free in the final school choice for your child.

New schools must demonstrate that there is sufficient interest. By submitting your parent declaration, you help make visible that parents in Zoetermeer and surrounding areas need this educational initiative.
For which children is the parent declaration intended?
For a new primary school, the interest of parents with young children is especially important. Do you have a child of 2, 3 or 4 years old and do you live in Zoetermeer or surrounding areas? Then your parent declaration is of great value.
Where will the school be located?
Nova Academy Zoetermeer focuses on Zoetermeer, with particular attention to the Palenstein neighbourhood and surroundings. The final location will be announced in a later phase.
Who is responsible for the initiative?
The initiative is carried by Stichting Kennispoint Den Haag.
