: Omdat het bij nader inzien om een Belgische tekst blijkt te gaan, moet dit onderscheid inderdaad worden gemaakt.

Thank you, Kitty. I think in the Netherlands a 'vrije school' is based on the Steiner (anthroposophy) approach.

Primary Steiner school
This is what the UK's OFSTED government (www.ofsted.gov.uk/) site uses, e.g., here: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd...

(for the Netherlands)
I'm a secondary school teacher and there is a primary Steiner school in our area.
Her school – an Independent Primary Steiner school, was very open to the classroom adjustments and very willing to communicate with her speech therapist.

This clearly states that they are a Catholic primary school and I'm quite sure that is not the same as a so-called "Steiner school".
I would leave the original and put a translation between brackets.
