Explanation:
I couldn't find Oude anywhere either. Could it possibly be the name of the school or a corporation? In that case it would remain the same, of course.

Hope this is of some help! SUERTE!

de Oude


Explanation:
In Dutch "de oude" literally means "the old one" or "the old man".
But when you say " Meneer de Oude " or " Dr. de Oude" it is a last name i.e. " Mr de Oude" or " Dr. de Oude" respectively. So, possibly, el Director de Oude is simply the directors name.

On the Dutch website given below, you will find - at the very bottom of the web page mention of a Mr. de Oude who, coincidentally, is also involved in education.

A long shot but a good shot, no lo crees?
