Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Roman Catholic St John’s School in Bredevoort was built around 1908 on the site where the Aalterpoort city gate<\/a> once stood. In the early 1980s the school moved to Izermanstraat. After the building lost its educational function, it was demolished and apartments were built on the site.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1897 parish priest Bernardus Mulders bought the Roelvink family’s house on ‘t Zand<\/a> in Bredevoort. His aim, as he wrote, was to offer his \u2018poor children\u2019 a Roman Catholic education. Because Roman Catholic schools cost money at the time, he devised a practical solution: he brought nuns to Bredevoort, who established a convent and sanatorium in the former steward’s house. Using the profits from the sanatorium, the priest started an elementary school: St John’s School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1993 St John’s School merged with the Protestant primary school Op ‘t Zand<\/a> to form the interdenominational primary school ‘t Bastion<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
