According to alderman Han de Jager the community school Snijdelwijk is "perhaps the most beautiful and extended school in the Netherlands". The school stands on an island in the typical peat landscape of Boskoop. In the middle of the building a central meeting place offers a clear view over the watery landscape.
In the central hall everyone comes together: the students and the teachers of the two schools, the babies and toddlers of the Childhood Center and everyone in and walk out at the Center for Youth and Family, the play room and the library. All functions are housed in four building parts with its own front and back door to the main hall. Here the play rooms can be merged into a big stage with a grandstand.
The hall and the stairs are consequences of the main pillar of the program requirements, namely cooperation. In order to promote coöperation meeting is of great importance.
Most strinking are the large glass windows that run from floor to floor and the V- shaped roof. The design meets the requirements of fresh school class B. A thermal energy storage in the ground provides in a sustainable manner heating and cooling and the air is automatically changed under the influence of CO2 measurements. Solar panels on the roof generate energy.
Gouwe Koerier of dé Weekkrant wrote about the school: "The first community school in Boskoop is a picture. Even though the development did not go without a fight, the result deserves applause. The design of architectur agency kraaijvanger is very successful."
