Stichting Confessioneel Onderwijs Leiden SCOL

Stichting Confessioneel Onderwijs Leiden (SCOL) is a school board in Leiden, Netherlands. Under this board, there are several primary and secondary schools in Leiden and surrounding areas. SCOL is the abbreviation for Stichting Confessioneel Onderwijs Leiden, which translates to Confessional Education Foundation Leiden.

The foundation was formed as a result of a merger between the school boards SKOL and SCVO, with the aim of guaranteeing confessional primary and secondary education in the Leiden region in the long term. The schools under SCOL have maintained their Catholic or Protestant-Christian identity. By collaborating at the administrative level, they are able to efficiently address practical matters such as the teacher shortage and good facilities, which would be more challenging for individual schools.

SCOL focuses on providing exceptional education to students aged 4 to 18, combining knowledge development with social and moral formation. Core values such as trust, responsibility, solidarity, and wonder are derived from biblical stories and are incorporated across all schools. At SCOL, learning and life go hand in hand, with a strong emphasis on fostering mutual respect, connectedness, and a sense of belonging.

If you are interested in working in the education sector in the Leiden region, SCOL regularly seeks motivated and qualified teachers, educators, and support staff.
